Mar'hyah: Difference between revisions

'''Angry Mar'hyah''' can be found verbally abusing [[Oyster Boy Dringo]] in the kennel of [[Sword Coast Couriers]]. Upon striking up conversation with her, she will turn to the player and say "Woof", derisively demanding to know why a living thing other than a dog is wandering into her kennel. The player can ask to buy the dogs but she refuses to let them do so. They can also chide her for being too harsh to Dringo, but she dismissively says that its the only way to teach him because he 'behaves worse than the dogs'. Mar'hyah only begins to show interest in the player when they mention that they may have a dog that once came from this kennel- [[Scratch]]. She deceptively asks the party to bring him here so she can check him for 'worms and so on'.

If the player summons Scratch to the kennel, Mar'hyah will demand that they return him to her. She explains that [[Gomwick]] was merely his handler but she is his rightful owner since he is property of Sword Coast Couriers. The player can choose to give up Scratch, attack Angry Mar'hyah, or attempt to pass a {{Ability Check|Intimidation|18}} or {{Ability Check|Persuasion|18}} to get her to stand down. Paladins will have a special dialogue option to confront her about her treatment of the dogs and Dringo, allowing them to bypass the check. Druids will have a special {{Ability Check|Intimidation|18}} with advantage instead of the persuasion check. Failing the checks will limit the player to the other two options.

After the party successfully convinces her into giving up Scratch, Oyster Boy Dringo sees his opportunity and pipes up to mention that she has a history of abusing ALL the dogs, not just Scratch. The player can either tell him that they only care about Scratch, or they can attempt to pass a {{Ability Check|Deception|20}} or {{Ability Check|Intimidation|20}}. Failing the checks causes her to refuse and then fire Dringo, making him leave for good. Succeeding the check results in her leaving the kennel for good while Dringo releases all the dogs from their cages.
