The Village Idiot

The Village Idiot is a jester guarding the entrance to the launch pad of Pirates Harbour in Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress.

Description
Despite his label, the Village Idiot had intricate knowledge about offering money to the Clerk at Hotel California in New San Antonio. The Stranger would ultimately spare the fool, for in order to reach the rocket launch pad and leave the nearby guards behind, it was much safer to slay Red the Pirate and use one of the ships in the harbor.

Trivia

 * If the Stranger slays the Village Idiot in order to reach the space rockets, the many guards in "da KGB" will easily reach the hero and inflict relevant damage before any rocket can be launched. On the other hand, if Red the Pirate is slain, the guards can be hit by the powerful cannon fire of any ship in the harbor, or simply left behind while the Stranger navigates around the wall to the still-safe rocket launch pad.
