The Village Idiot

The Village Idiot can be found guarding the entrance to the launch pad in Pirates Harbour in Ultima II.

Description
Despite being labeled an idiot, this jester had intricate knowledge about offering money to the Clerk at the Hotel California in New San Antonio. The Stranger would ultimately spare this poor jester, because in order to reach the rocket launch pad and leave the 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 this jester in order to reach the space rockets, the many guards in "da KGB" will easily reach him/her and inflict relevant damage before any rocket could be launched. On the other hand, if the Stranger slays Red the Pirate, the guards can be hit by the poweful 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.
