If kept alive during Act 1, Sazza can once again be encountered in the audience chamber at [[Moonrise Towers]], being judged along with other goblins for their failure to secure the Artifact. Their fate is given to the player to determine, and she can once again be set free (which will award an achievement) or can be executed with varying degrees of cruelty.


If freed, Sazza and the other goblins immediately flee from Moonrise and cannot be spoken to again. This leaves her ultimate fate unknown, though it is noted by the player themselves in a dialogue option that she and the other goblin likely fell prey to the [[Shadow Curse (Condition)|Shadow Curse]] on account of them not having a [[Moonlantern]].
===Epilogue===
However, if Sazza was spared, a scrap of a letter from her can be found in the {{SmRarityItem|Chest of Grateful Words}} in the [[Epilogue]]. It says she has been wandering to find anyone who'd still be devoted to the Absolute (ignorant about her goddess's fall), and ended up in a cage, captured by ''ornery cat people'' (probably {{FRWiki|Tabaxi}}). In her letter, Sazza asks the player character to save her - again.

The party can choose to help Sazza by interfering with Arka's plans to shoot her, or let Sazza die by Arka's hands.

If the party choose to help Sazza and then speak with her, she will offer to introduce the party to a powerful healer, Gut True Soul Priestess Gut. Sazza will then be a temporary companion and must be escorted out of the Grove. If doing the Save the Goblin Sazza Save the Goblin Sazza in her favour, then she promises to put in a good word for the party with her tribe, helping to bypass checkpoints at the Goblin Camp and Shattered Sanctum. When meeting Minthara Minthara, she will try to present the party as captives to cover her failures in the raid, but be called out on the fact that the party consists of True Souls. With the threat of punishment looming, the party can decide whether she is killed or imprisoned.

  • If all three goblin leaders are killed after Sazza was freed and escorted out of the Grove, she will die instantly upon the third goblin leader's death.
  • If Sazza is freed and Minthara Minthara is not killed but unconscious and the other two goblin leaders are killed, she will remain alive and can be encountered in Act Two.
  • If Sazza is freed after Gut dies and Minthara is knocked out, she stands in Minthara's room and her quest does not continue until a Long Rest, after which Minthara's body disappears. The cut scene still plays and the party can choose to spare Sazza.
