You see Bozo.

• Come chat with ol' Bozo!
• Do you know the one with the dragon? Where - and then ... hahahaha! Oh no, I guess I ruined it.
• The fools' guild? Are you serious? No, of course not! Hahaha!
• Welcome, welcome, step closer!

Location

Rain Castle courtyard in north-west Thais on Royal Avenue.

Notes

Bozo tells funny jokes about many creatures and has interesting comments about his fellow Thaians. When asked about his job as the Royal Jester, he stops mid-sentence to claim he is the tax collector and asks if you want to pay your taxes. When asked about weapons, he'll sell you the "Mace of the Fury" (a Rolling Pin for 250 gp), and when asked about magic, he'll ask if you'd like to learn the spell "Lessen Your Load" for 200 gp (and gives you nothing).
He can be related to Rookgaard since there is a grave on the premium side that says:

You see a sign.
You read: Bozo
Jester and escape artist

Bozo is a clear allusion to Bozo the Clown, usually shortened to "Bozo" in real life. Main NPC of the What a Foolish Quest.

History

With Update 8.10 a new outfit was released, the jester outfit. Since NPC Bozo already was a jester before the update and he became part of the quest to get it his outfit was changed to the Jester oufit. This is how he looked before:

Bozo

After Christmas Update 2007

	Player: jester Bozo: Do you wish to become a jester and join the fools guild? Player: yes Bozo: So you want to make a total fool of yourself? Fine with me, but note that becoming a real fool means more than being just an ordinary fool ... Bozo: Bozo: You will have to master a whole series of challenging, lengthy and, above all, totally foolish quests ... Bozo: Are you sure you want to waste a part of your limited lifetime on a quest that makes a fool of yourself and which might award you with the prestigious title of a grand fool in a far away future? Player: yes Bozo: What a foolish decision! You are indeed a worthy candidate! But let's talk about business ... Bozo: Being a jester is not just about telling jokes. A good jester heavily relies on requisites ... Bozo: Getting some requisites will be your first job. First of all we need a good supply of water squirt flowers ... Bozo: I'm making them on my own in my spare time but I need the right material. South of Thais, next to the Whiteflower Temple, you will find the ideal flowers ... Bozo: Take a kitchen knife, cut the thickest and healthiest flower and bring it here. Then talk to me about your mission. Player: jester (if you are already a jester) Bozo: Wow, your stupidity would be pride and joy for every fool. You've already applied as a member. Let's rather talk about your current mission.
