Overview[edit | edit source]

Linsella was gifted by the Absolute the ability to "rewrite the lives of her faithful". Her ability enforces the condition Dominated Will Dominated Will on creatures, and allows her to control them. It is possible Linsella is controlling the True Soul gnolls who can be found along the Risen Road with Flind.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

When first meeting Linsella, she stands in Moonrise Towers' kitchens training Barnabus 'Barnabus', with the other gnolls 'Timothy' 'Timothy' and 'Tomelia' 'Tomelia' nearby. X: 117 Y: -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.

Sever her control[edit | edit source]

The party can then sever her control, allowing the gnoll to murder his master:

  • [DARK URGE] [WISDOM] Compel the gnolls to pulp their master. (DC 16) Astarion approves +1 Karlach approves +1 Lae'zel approves +1 Minthara approves +1 Halsin approves +1
  • [WISDOM] Sever her control once and for all. (DC 16) Astarion approves +1 Karlach approves +1 Lae'zel approves +1 Minthara approves +1 Halsin approves +1

Successfully doing so will reward inspiration for Urchin Urchin, Charlatan Charlatan, Haunted One Haunted One backgrounds.

Once the gnolls are no longer dominated, they will attack the party unless the party passes another ability check:

  • [PERSUASION] Easy! I freed you - I'm a friend. (DC 16)
  • [INTIMIDATION] Try it - I dare you. (DC 16)
  • [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] Match it growl for growl. (DC 16)
  • [ILLITHID] [TRUE SOUL] [WISDOM] Now, now, Barnabus - behave. (DC 14)
  • [RANGER] [ANIMAL HANDLING] The creature thinks you prey - adjust your body language to display as a threat.' (DC 16 Advantage Icon.png)

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[edit | edit source]

Alternatively, the party can reinforce her domination:

  • [DARK URGE] Put aside dreams of mincing her. Help her take back control. Astarion disapproves -1 Karlach disapproves -1 Minthara approves +1
  • Reinforce her efforts with your own. Astarion disapproves -1 Karlach disapproves -1 Minthara approves +1

Linsella will compliment the player and reward them with a Severed Arm, and the party character will receive inspiration if they have the Entertainer Entertainer or Charlatan Charlatan backgrounds.

Do nothing[edit | edit source]

  • It seems you're not as commanding as you think.

If the latter is chosen, 'Barnabus' will collapse and die from the mental strain.
