Investigating the spider carcass ({{SkillCheck|Investigation|14}}, 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. Using this information, she can be turned hostile against Yurgir, and his legionnaires ([[Deception]] or [[Persuasion]] DC 16). Succeeding an additional check ([[Persuasion]] DC 30) will subdue her and turn her into an ally if you attack the fiends later on.

=== With Speak with Animals ===
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:
 
* {{Dialogue option|The orthon sold you to me. I'm your master now.|roll=Deception|dc=16}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}} {{Approval|Karlach|-1}} {{Approval|Wyll|-1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}} {{Approval|Halsin|-1}}
* {{Dialogue option|You only love your master because he's been dosing this meat. He's manipulating you.|roll=Persuasion|dc=16}} {{Approval|Karlach|+1}} {{Approval|Astarion|+1}} {{Approval|Gale|+1}} {{Approval|Wyll|+1}} {{Approval|Halsin|+1}} {{Approval|Minthara|+1}}
 
Curing Nessa of the spider carcass meat, using anything that removes {{Cond|Charmed}} or {{Cond|Poisoned}} 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 ===
If spoken to without speak with animals, the party can only deduce that there is something off about the displacer beast:
 
* {{Dialogue option|''Something doesn't seem quite right - take a closer look.''|roll=Nature|dc=16}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Something doesn't seem quite right - take a closer look.''|tags=Druid, Ranger|roll=Nature|dc=16|advantage=y}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Make eye contact with the beast.''|roll=Animal Handling|dc=16}}
 
And then make another check for more clues, or pet the beast:
* {{Dialogue option|''Give it a scratch behind the ears.''}} {{Approval|Karlach|+1}} {{Approval|Astarion|+1}} {{Approval|Wyll|+1}} {{Approval|Halsin|+1}} {{Approval|Shadowheart|+1}} {{Approval|Lae'zel|-1}} {{Approval|Gale|+1}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Reach out to stroke one of its tentacles.''}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Look around to see who it might be in love with.''|roll=Perception|dc=16}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Check the ground for signs of other paw prints.''|roll=Investigation|dc=16}}
