When first meeting Linsella, she stands in Moonrise Towers' kitchens training {{CharLink|Barnabus|'Barnabus'}}, with the other gnolls {{CharLink|'Timothy'}} and {{CharLink|'Tomelia'}} nearby. {{Coords|117|-178}}

She offers to demonstrate her domination over the gnolls by forcing 'Barnabus' to dance or pray, during which his primal rage will attempt to rebel against her hold. The party can pass a {{Ability check|Wisdom|16}} to sever her control, allowing the gnoll to murder his master. Once the gnolls are no longer dominated, they will attack the party unless another DC 16 skill check is passed, using [[Persuasion]], [[Intimidation]] or [[Illithid Persuasion]]. The Dark Urge will not need to pass a check to pacify the gnolls, being recognized by 'Barnabus': "...he grovels with a howl of pining awe..." and offering up a few more lines of dialogue.  
She offers to demonstrate her domination over the gnolls by forcing 'Barnabus' to dance or pray, during which his primal rage will attempt to rebel against her hold.  


Alternatively, the party can reinforce her domination, or do nothing. Linsella will compliment the player if the former is chosen and reward them with a {{SmRarityItem|Severed Arm}}. If the latter is chosen, 'Barnabus' will collapse and die from the mental strain.
=== Sever her control ===
The party can then sever her control, allowing the gnoll to murder his master:
 
* {{Dialogue option|''Compel the gnolls to pulp their master.''|tags=Dark Urge|roll=Wisdom|dc=16}} {{Approval|Astarion|+1}} {{Approval|Karlach|+1}} {{Approval|Lae'zel|+1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}} {{Approval|Halsin|+1}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Sever her control once and for all.''|roll=Wisdom|dc=16}} {{Approval|Astarion|+1}} {{Approval|Karlach|+1}} {{Approval|Lae'zel|+1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}} {{Approval|Halsin|+1}}
 
Successfully doing so will reward inspiration for {{Background|Urchin}}, {{Background|Charlatan}}, {{Background|Haunted One}} backgrounds.
 
Once the gnolls are no longer dominated, they will attack the party unless the party passes another ability check:
 
* {{Dialogue option|Easy! I freed you - I'm a friend.|roll=Persuasion|dc=16}}
* {{Dialogue option|Try it - I dare you.|roll=Intimidation|dc=16}}
* {{Dialogue option|Match it growl for growl.|tags=Barbarian|roll=Intimidation|dc=16}}
* {{Dialogue option|Now, now, Barnabus - ''behave''.|tags=Illithid, True Soul|roll=Wisdom|dc=14}}
* {{Dialogue option|''The creature thinks you prey - adjust your body language to display as a threat.'|tags=Ranger|roll=Animal Handling|dc=16|advantage=y}}
 
The Dark Urge will not need to pass a check to pacify the gnolls, being recognized by 'Barnabus': "...he grovels with a howl of pining awe..." and offering up a few more lines of dialogue.
 
=== Reinforce her control ===
Alternatively, the party can reinforce her domination:
 
* {{Dialogue option|''Put aside dreams of mincing her. Help her take back control.''|tags=Dark Urge}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}} {{Approval|Karlach|-1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Reinforce her efforts with your own.''}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}} {{Approval|Karlach|-1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}}
 
Linsella will compliment the player and reward them with a {{SmRarityItem|Severed Arm}}, and the party character will receive inspiration if they have the {{Background|Entertainer}} or {{Background|Charlatan}} backgrounds.
 
=== Do nothing ===
* {{Dialogue option|It seems you're not as commanding as you think.}}
 
If the latter is chosen, 'Barnabus' will collapse and die from the mental strain.
