“Let the sting of pain wash away your pain!„
Involvement
Goblin Camp
Abdirak resides inside the Shattered Sanctum next to the torture room. He offers the player peace and serenity through pain. If accepted, Abdirak will strike the player several times. If he is pleased with their performance, he will bless them with the permanent bonus 
. In order to gain this bonus, the player will need to be hit three times and pass each subsequent performance/intimidation roll or fail the Constitution roll (following the Monk dialogue options through the end of the encounter will not grant the bonus). If attempting to fail the Constitution rolls, you can easily inflict Poisoned on yourself by eating some of the rotten food found in the room next door.
If the player reads On Receiving Her Grace, found on the nearby table, they will unlock the dialogue option "I saw your book. Let me try some of those techniques". This will allow them to choose which tool – mace, knife, or axe – Abdirak uses, and thus changes the damage type inflicted to 
Bludgeoning, 
Piercing, or 
Slashing respectively. This can be used to the player's advantage by planning ahead to reduce damage taken. For example, selecting the axe option and casting Blade Ward or equipping the Amulet of the Unworthy[note 1] to gain Slashing resistance.
if the player removes their armour before letting Abdirak hit them, it will grant them 
- a temporary condition that gives a +4 bonus to Performance and Intimidation checks.
Defeat the goblins
Abdirak will leave the sanctum if the goblin leaders are killed. He can be found during the fight standing in front of a burrow contemplating that he is too big to fit to escape. He will be carrying the Ritual Dagger and Ritual Axe on him from the Bloodied Shrine.
