'''Yurgir''' is an Orthon, a powerful type of [[Fiend]] from the Nine Hells. He and his band of [[Merregon Legionnaire]]s can be found in the [[Gauntlet of Shar]], where they have been trapped by consequence of a contract with [[Raphael]].  
'''Yurgir''' is an Orthon, a powerful type of Fiend from the Nine Hells. He has been trapped in the [[Gauntlet of Shar]] by [[Raphael]] through a contract between them. Initially the player is ambushed by Yurgir. He catches the scent of [[Raphael]] immediately. Yurgir laments his hatred towards the devil and explains the details of their contract. As a result of the contract he intends to kill anyone that dare venture into his wing of the temple. Yurgir and his band of [[Merregon Legionnaire|Merregon]]s are ready to attack. Through conversation, the party can learn more about his circumstances and about the fate of the Dark Justiciars.
 
==Overview==
=== Background ===
Yurgir is an orthon who has been trapped in the Gauntlet of Shar for many years, unable to fulfil the requirements of his contract with Raphael. Under the devil's orders, he and his merregons devastated Ketheric Thorm's Dark Justiciars, killing all they found from the Grymforge to the Gauntlet.


=== Description ===
== Related Quests ==
Yurgir is a towering and foreboding figure, a veteran of the blood war who is confident in his command. He speaks in a low rumble, his skin hard and red with three large sets of horns curling from the crown of his head.
 
Yurgir loves a good fight, and has respect for capable warriors.

== History ==
== Yurgir's Contract ==
Before signing a contract with Raphael, Yurgir fought on the front-lines of the Blood War. {{ref|"Now I'm free of Raphael's blasted contract, I can return to the frontlines." - Yurgir in the House of Hope}}
 
Sometime around the late 14th century DR, [[Ketheric Thorm]] began amassing an army of [[Dark Justiciar]]s. A Selûnite [[Infernal Mason|mason]] who had worked for Ketheric, including creating Moonrise Towers,{{ref|Dialogue with the [[Infernal Mason]]}} had tried to build a resistance against him to no avail. He eventually contacted Raphael, asking him to destroy Ketheric's army.{{cite text|Mason's Log|[[Infernal Mason|Morfred]]}}
 
Yurgir signed a contract with Raphael to "''Wander Shar's halls''" and "''leave no Justiciar alive to obey''". {{ref|Yurgir reciting his contract.}} His contract stated that he must fulfill its terms, die trying, or forfeit his freedom and become Raphael's slave. Yurgir carried out his attack with his legion of merregons, breaking through the walls of the [[Grymforge]] and killing the Justiciar presence there. {{ref|Investigation with [[Stonemason Kith]]}} He and his legion then moved to the Gauntlet of Shar to defeat the remaining Justiciars.
 
With no more Justiciars to be found, Yurgir and his band seemed to have succeeded. However, Yurgir remained bound to the Gauntlet. Unbeknownst to Yurgir, Raphael had given to the final Dark Justiciar, [[Lyrthindor]], a [[One Becomes Many|book]] which planted in him the idea of splitting his body into parts to escape. {{cite text|One Becomes Many|[[Raphael]]}}
 
Unwilling to break his contract and enter into servitude, Yurgir remained in the Gauntlet, hunting shadows for a hundred years.
 
== Involvement ==
=== Act Two ===
{{main|Kill Raphael's Old Enemy}}
Yurgir stands ready to ambush the party in the [[Gauntlet of Shar]]. Proceeding through his encounter can ultimately go two ways: helping Yurgir, or killing him.
 
==== Killing Yurgir ====
While exploring the Gauntlet, the party is lured by a [[Displacer Beast]] into a ambush with Yurgir and his Merregons. Yurgir catches the scent of [[Raphael]] on them immediately and voices his hatred of the devil, explaining the details of their contract. As a result of the contract he intends to kill anyone that dare venture into his wing of the temple. The party can continue speaking to Yurgir to learn more about his circumstances and about the fate of the Dark Justiciars, and even agree to try and help free him.
 
[[Bard]]s and [[Warlock|Warlocks]] are given a unique opportunity to defeat Yurgir and his group through dialogue checks. It is also possible for other classes if they pass an [[DC]] 14 [[Insight]] check after Yurgir recites his contract. {{note|There's an Insight check during dialogue to figure out that the lyrics hide a trick, then a persuasion roll of 16 to convince Yurgir to kill his minions, then a Persuasion roll of 21 to convince him to kill his Displacer Beast, then yet another 21 Persuasion roll to convince him to kill himself. Even succeeding on just the first roll will make the fight significantly easier.}} Listening to Yurgir recite his contract earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Catchy Tune''' ([[Entertainer]] background). Tricking Yurgir to kill himself earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Killer Poetry''' ([[Haunted One]] background). Obtaining Yurgir's [[Hellfire Hand Crossbow]] awards the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Tools of the Trade''' ([[Outlander]] background).
 
It is also possible to sneak up on Yurgir and his group, avoiding conversation entirely. Stealing from Yurgir's chests (such as using stealth) will lock the party out of all friendly negotiations with him, even if the characters doing the stealing were not detected.
 
==== Freeing Yurgir ====

{{Q|''Spill all the blood sworn to the night.''<br>''Silence all prayers; smother each rite.''<br><br>''Wander Shar's halls; hungry to slay;''<br>''Leave no Justiciar alive to obey.''<br><br>''Leave none to hear it, then be set free;''<br>''This song is your oath, swear, swear to me.''}}
Yurgir's contract with Raphael stated that he must defeat all of Ketheric Thorm's Dark Justiciars, which he and his merregons thought to have completed after leaving naught but rats in the Gauntlet. However, after exploring the area, the party will discover a book at the foot of the large statue of Shar. ''[[One Becomes Many]]'' reveals that the rats in the area are actually parts of the final Dark Justiciar, baited into splitting by Raphael.


The party can defeat the rats, and then [[Lyrthindor]], and return to Yurgir so that he and Raphael can renegotiate the terms of his employment, or simply kill him anyway. Either choice will lead to Yurgir returning to Raphael's House of Hope.

* {{RarityItem|Dark Justiciar Gauntlets (Uncommon)}} can be found lying on a pile of boxes near the door to Yurgir's place: {{Coords|-660|-760|Gauntlet of Shar}}.


While in peaceful negotiations with Yurgir, the party can speak with his displacer beast, [[Nessa]],{{note|If you want to fight Yurgir, you can get Nessa, the displacer beast, to fight against him with a Persuasion roll of 30, after investigating the [[spider meat]].}} and one of the merregons; [[Hoarding Merregon]] who can be traded with, found at {{Coords|-660|-760}}. {{note|If you trade with it but then kill Yurgir and his minions, it does not drop any gold you used to purchase wares, nor most of the ordinary items traded.}}

==== Visiting camp ====
==== {{SAI|Concussive Burst|w=40}} ====
If the party freed Yurgir from his contract, the orthon will appear one night during a [[Long Rest]]. He will compliment the [[campsite]] and tell the party to seek out the diabolist [[Helsik]] in order to access Raphael's abode, the [[House of Hope]].
