“You use a spoon to stir the soup, Barnabus. Forget the axe, my darling.„
Overview

Once the gnolls are no longer dominated, they will attack the party unless another DC 16 skill check is passed, using Persuasion, Intimidation or Illithid Persuasion. 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.
Alternatively, the party can reinforce her domination, or do nothing:
- [DARK URGE] Put aside dreams of mincing her. Help her take back control. -1 -1 +1
