Nesha Leesha is a Baldur's Gate citizen. She is waiting for a friend to join her at the Blushing Mermaid tavern.

Overview

Quests

Involvement

Nesha Leesha is standing on the open terrace of the Blushing Mermaid (X: -145 Y: -96), outside the tavern itself (she may sometimes walk a couple of meters to the west). She is a bit nervous and her banter lines reveal that she is visiting the establishment for the first time. When the player approaches her, Nesha tells them that a friend invited her for a drink but has not arrived yet.

Nesha Leesha is one of the marked targets on the Bloodstained Parchment that potential aspirants of Bhaal can kill in order to become an Unholy assassin. The serial killer Dolor is after the names on this list but will instead target others on the list such as Cora Highberry and Figaro Pennygood.

If the player character tells Nesha that her name is on the serial killer's list, she will not believe them at first. To convince her, a DC 15 Persuasion check is required. On a successful check, Nesha becomes frightened and runs away. This earns Approval from Jaheira.

If the player character decides to become an Unholy Assassin by completing Impress the Murder Tribunal, they may tell Nesha that they intend to kill her. This will turn Nesha and all nearby tavern personnel and clients temporarily hostile, except several Tipplesome Patrons inside the tavern and its owner Captain Grisly. Those NPCs will remain neutral unless attacked.

Nesha Leesha can be looted for the quest item Nesha's Hand, which can be used to gain access to the Murder Tribunal.

Quotes

This place certainly has an interesting… aroma to it.

Notes

  • If Nesha was not warned, but still survived, she will stay at the tavern terrace until the party's next Long Rest [Needs Verification]. If spoken to, she will issue a meaningless phrase, like most common Baldurian NPCs around the city.
  • Nesha Leesha can be pickpocketed for Potion of Speed and Potion of Invisibility. These may also be looted from her body, if she hasn't used them in the fight.
  • If the party attacks or unintentionally harms any of Tipplesome Patrons or Captain Grisly, then they will become hostile. This makes Auntie Ethel throw off her disguise as Captain Grisly and immediately triggers the Save Vanra quest, bypassing all interactions within Help the Hag Survivors quest.
