Overview
Background
Priestess Gut is one of the spiritual leaders of the cult. She is one of three leaders at the Shattered Sanctum, alongside Minthara and Dror Ragzlin.
Involvement
Act One
Gut can be found in the main hall of the Shattered Sanctum. She offers all party members the Brand of the Absolute, which can grant permanent bonuses.
The party can follow her to the chapel and attack her or comply with her wishes. If the party complies, she gives them a potion to make them fall asleep, and they wake up imprisoned. If the player character drinks the potion as an elf, drow or half-elf, their 
prevents the potion's effects, which causes Gut to attack immediately. Additionally, a paladin's resolve enables a Constitution Ability check to resist the effects of the potion.
If the party is imprisoned and its members fail the respective checks to free themselves, they are rescued by a dwarven warlock named Korrilla at the service of Raphael, who kills Gut and Polma instantly.
Gut can be killed to complete the quest 
. The quest can also be completed while ignoring her. To do so, Halsin must be first freed in the Worg Pens but left there. Then, after agreeing with Minthara to seize the grove, the party must talk to Halsin in the Worg Pens and immediately travel to the Emerald Grove. All this must be done without a long rest. At the Emerald Grove the party must side with the Tiefling defenders. If the goblin forces are defeated and Minthara is killed or knocked out, then and are completed without killing Dror Ragzlin and Gut.
