When first meeting Linsella, she stands in Moonrise Towers' kitchens training {{CharLink|Barnabus|'Barnabus'}}, with the other gnolls {{CharLink|'Timothy'}} and {{CharLink|'Tomelia'}} nearby. {{Coords|117|-178}} | When first meeting Linsella, she stands in Moonrise Towers' kitchens training {{CharLink|Barnabus|'Barnabus'}}, with the other gnolls {{CharLink|'Timothy'}} and {{CharLink|'Tomelia'}} nearby. {{Coords|117|-178}} | ||
She offers to demonstrate her domination over the gnolls by forcing 'Barnabus' to dance or pray, during which his primal rage will attempt to rebel against her hold | She offers to demonstrate her domination over the gnolls by forcing 'Barnabus' to dance or pray, during which his primal rage will attempt to rebel against her hold. | ||
Alternatively, the party can reinforce her domination | === Sever her control === | ||
The party can then sever her control, allowing the gnoll to murder his master: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Compel the gnolls to pulp their master.''|tags=Dark Urge|roll=Wisdom|dc=16}} {{Approval|Astarion|+1}} {{Approval|Karlach|+1}} {{Approval|Lae'zel|+1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}} {{Approval|Halsin|+1}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Sever her control once and for all.''|roll=Wisdom|dc=16}} {{Approval|Astarion|+1}} {{Approval|Karlach|+1}} {{Approval|Lae'zel|+1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}} {{Approval|Halsin|+1}} | |||
Successfully doing so will reward inspiration for {{Background|Urchin}}, {{Background|Charlatan}}, {{Background|Haunted One}} backgrounds. | |||
Once the gnolls are no longer dominated, they will attack the party unless the party passes another ability check: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|Easy! I freed you - I'm a friend.|roll=Persuasion|dc=16}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|Try it - I dare you.|roll=Intimidation|dc=16}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|Match it growl for growl.|tags=Barbarian|roll=Intimidation|dc=16}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|Now, now, Barnabus - ''behave''.|tags=Illithid, True Soul|roll=Wisdom|dc=14}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''The creature thinks you prey - adjust your body language to display as a threat.'|tags=Ranger|roll=Animal Handling|dc=16|advantage=y}} | |||
The Dark Urge will not need to pass a check to pacify the gnolls, being recognized by 'Barnabus': "...he grovels with a howl of pining awe..." and offering up a few more lines of dialogue. | |||
=== Reinforce her control === | |||
Alternatively, the party can reinforce her domination: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Put aside dreams of mincing her. Help her take back control.''|tags=Dark Urge}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}} {{Approval|Karlach|-1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Reinforce her efforts with your own.''}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}} {{Approval|Karlach|-1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}} | |||
Linsella will compliment the player and reward them with a {{SmRarityItem|Severed Arm}}, and the party character will receive inspiration if they have the {{Background|Entertainer}} or {{Background|Charlatan}} backgrounds. | |||
=== Do nothing === | |||
* {{Dialogue option|It seems you're not as commanding as you think.}} | |||
If the latter is chosen, 'Barnabus' will collapse and die from the mental strain. | |||
