Nessa
Nessa is a Displacer Beast who can be found in the Gauntlet of Shar.
“I am his love.„
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Nessa will try to lead the party into an ambush with Yurgir. If the party chooses (or pretends) to help Yurgir, Nessa can later be spoken to using .
Investigating the spider carcass ( DC 14 Investigation check, then Arcana DC 16) in the room adjacent to Yurgir's reveals that Nessa has been charmed into being Yurgir's pet with succubus spittle.
With Speak with Animals[edit | edit source]
If the party investigated the spider carcass, they can detect a similar spell in Nessa's breath and can attempt to convince Nessa to turn against Yurgir by passing one of the following checks:
- [DECEPTION] The orthon sold you to me. I'm your master now. (DC 16) -1 -1 -1 +1 -1
- [PERSUASION] You only love your master because he's been dosing this meat. He's manipulating you. (DC 16) +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1
Curing Nessa of the spider carcass meat, using anything that removes or conditions will also do the trick.
Otherwise, the party can only have a discussion about master/slave relationships and her "love" of Yurgir.
Without Speak with Animals[edit | edit source]
If spoken to without speak with animals, the party can only deduce that there is something off about the displacer beast:
- [NATURE] Something doesn't seem quite right - take a closer look. (DC 16)
- [DRUID] [RANGER] [NATURE] Something doesn't seem quite right - take a closer look. (DC 16 )
- [ANIMAL HANDLING] Make eye contact with the beast. (DC 16)
And then make another check for more clues, or pet the beast:
- Give it a scratch behind the ears. +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 -1 +1
- Reach out to stroke one of its tentacles.
- [PERCEPTION] Look around to see who it might be in love with. (DC 16)
- [INVESTIGATION] Check the ground for signs of other paw prints. (DC 16)

- Nessa is simply named "Displacer Beast" when inspecting her, however Yurgir will use the name "Nessa" when speaking about her in dialogue.
