'''Linsella''' is a halfling [[True Soul]] who works in the kitchen in [[Moonrise Towers]] during [[Act Two]].
{{DiQ|You use a '''spoon''' to stir the soup, Barnabus. Forget the axe, my darling.|Linsella|, instrucing Barnabus}}
== Overview ==
Linsella was gifted by the Absolute the ability to "rewrite the lives of her faithful". Her ability enforces the condition {{cond|Dominated Will}} on creatures, and allows her to control them. It is possible Linsella is controlling the True Soul gnolls who can be found along the [[Risen Road]] with [[Flind]].
== Involvement ==
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.
=== 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}}


== Background ==
Successfully doing so will reward inspiration for {{Background|Urchin}}, {{Background|Charlatan}}, {{Background|Haunted One}} backgrounds.
Linsella was gifted by the Absolute the ability to to "rewrite the lives of her faithful". Her ability enforces the condition {{cond|Dominated Will}} on creatures, and allows her to control them. It is most likely Linsella controlling the True Soul gnolls who can be found along the [[Risen Road]] with [[Flind|Gnoll Warlord Flind]].


== Act Two ==
Once the gnolls are no longer dominated, they will attack the party unless the party passes another ability check:
When first meeting Linsella, she will be in Moonrise Towers' kitchens training '[[Barnabus]]'. The player can ask for further demonstration of her control, then pass a wisdom skill check to sever her connection. Once the gnolls are no longer dominated, they will kill Linsella and attack the party unless a skill check is passed.
 
* {{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.
