— Fezzerk, when approached

Involvement

Act One

Fezzerk and his gang are on the western most side of the Blighted Village where the windmill is, laughing at  Barcus Wroot who is strapped to the machine. This starts the quest ⁠Rescue the Gnome. If approached, Fezzerk and his gang confront the party. The party can ask him what he is doing, or ask him to let them pass. If they ask what he is doing, they can that demand Barcus be let down, either by persuading Fezzerk to pick another victim or intimidating him.

Asking to let the party pass results in Fezzerk demanding 1000 gold, which the party can decide to pay or haggle down. If paid, or convinced not to pay, Fezzerk lets the party leave, but if he is approached again a fight breaks out.

Lastly, the party can attack Fezzerk and his gang.

If during the fight Fezzerk is severely injured, he surrenders when near death, while the other members of his gang flee. It is then possible to interrogate him, demand that he gives up his belongings, or kill him.

If spared, he makes a minor reappearance in Act Two.

Act Two

If Fezzerk survives Act One, he journeys to the Throne Room of Moonrise Towers. He, some other goblins, and potentially  Minthara are being judged for the failure to retrieve the  Mysterious Artefact. Whether he and the other goblins are spared or killed is left up to the interacting party member.
