'Barnabus' is a gnoll who works in the kitchen in Moonrise Towers during Act Two.

— 'Barnabus'

Involvement

'Barnabus' and his fellow gnolls, 'Timothy' and 'Tomelia', work in Moonrise Towers' kitchens, being trained against their vicious nature by Linsella to speak and behave courteously.

After seeing a demonstration of Linsella's abilities, her controlling connection over 'Barnabus' can be broken by a Wisdom check. The gnolls will attack and kill Linsella, then attack the party unless another skill check is passed.

If the Dark Urge severs Linsella's control over 'Barnabus', he will grovel to his "Lord", and he and the two other gnolls will become allies.

The gnolls will aid the party's assault on Moonrise Towers if they were befriended and freed from Linsella's hold.
