Timber is a Squirrel in Baldur's Gate 3.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Timber patrols the area of the Emerald Grove below the bugbear assassin, at the top of the elevator above the sacred pool. If a character without Speak with Animals Speak with Animals active interacts with her, she will immediately bite them (no damage) for trespassing on her territory.

The party can choose to either kick the squirrel or study the squirrel's behaviour.

  • [DEXTERITY] Kick the squirrel. (DC 10) Astarion approves +1 Wyll disapproves -1 Karlach disapproves -1
  • [DEXTERITY] Kick her. (DC 10) (if using Speak with Animals) Astarion approves +1 Wyll disapproves -1 Karlach disapproves -1
  • [ANIMAL HANDLING] Study the creature's behaviour. (DC 10)

If the party member kicks the squirrel, the squirrel will smack against the tree and die. If the party member fails to kick the squirrel, they can try one more time.

If the party studies the squirrel, they will learn that this is Timber's territory, and they will have several further options to scold/threaten her:

  • [ANIMAL HANDLING] Scold her with a click of your tongue. (DC 10)
  • [INTIMIDATION] Get out of here. Now. (DC 10)
  • [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] ROAR. (DC 10 Advantage Icon.png)
  • [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] Growl threateningly. (DC 10 Advantage Icon.png)

If using Speak with Animals, she will tell you immediately this is her territory, and the party member can respond:

  • All right, you win. I'm leaving. (ends conversation)
  • [GITHYANKI] [INTIMIDATION] I'm not to be trifled with, creature. (DC 10)
  • [INTIMIDATION] Back of, squirrel. Or I'll make you. (DC 10)
  • [PERSUASION] There's plenty of room for both of us. (DC 10)
  • [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] ROAR. I WILL EAT YOU. (DC 5)
  • [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] I could eat you whole - you can pretend I'm gone, once you're in the dark of my belly. (DC 5)
  • [WIZARD] [WARLOCK] [SORCERER] [INTIMIDATION] One word and I can fry you to a crisp. (DC 5)
  • [BARD] [INTIMIDATION] Let me pass, or I'll spread word about this wonderful patch of land ripe for the taking. (DC 5)

Successfully passing all ability checks will result in a compromise being reached and the character being rewarded with a Hyena Ear.

Dark Urge[edit | edit source]

If the The Dark Urge is chosen as Origin, interacting with Timber without Speak with Animals will automatically result in her death. If Speak with Animals is active, choosing the "Last words I won't remember" Dialogue option will kill the squirrel without a check. Either way, killing Timber earns the Inspiration Icon.pngInspirational Event Indulge Thine Appetites (Haunted One background).

Companion approval[edit | edit source]

  • [Dexterity] - Kick the squirrel (Note: Astarion seems to only approve if it's known that it's Timber's territory.) Astarion approves +1 Wyll disapproves -1 Karlach disapproves -1
  • The Dark Urge: "My instincts are sharp, daggered things. Stay out of their way." or "It came right at me!" Karlach disapproves -1 Shadowheart disapproves -1Wyll disapproves -1 Astarion approves +1
