'Barnabus' is a gnoll who works in the kitchen in Moonrise Towers during Act Two. He and his fellow gnolls, 'Timothy' and 'Tomelia', work in Moonrise Towers' kitchens, being trained by Linsella to speak and behave courteously.

Involvement

After seeing a demonstration of Linsella's abilities, her controlling connection over 'Barnabus' can be broken by a wisdom skill check. The gnolls will attack and kill Linsella, then attack the party unless a skill check is passed.

If the Dark Urge severs Linsella's control over 'Barnabus', he will grovel to their "Lord", and the three gnolls will become allies.

The gnolls will aid the party's assault on Moonrise Towers if they were befriended and freed from Linsella's hold.
