Sazza
“I'm gonna bite the 'eads off yer kids. An' yer birdies. An' yer dogs!„
Involvement
Act One
When approaching the Makeshift Prison through the Emerald Grove gateway the first time Sazza will be held at crossbow point by Arka, who seeks vengeance for her dead brother Kanon. Arka's friend, Memnos, is attempting to dissuade her from the senseless act of violence. The party can choose to either help Sazza by interfering with Arka's plans to shoot her, or let Sazza die by Arka's hands.
If the party chooses to help Sazza and then speaks with her, she will offer to introduce the party to True Soul Priestess Gut, who has powerful healing abilities. Sazza will then be a temporary companion with 9HP and must be escorted out of the Grove safely. If doing the Save the Goblin Sazza quest in her favor, then she promises to put in a good word for the party with her tribe, helping to bypass the checkpoints at the Goblin Camp and Shattered Sanctum. When meeting Minthara, she will try to present the party as captives to cover her failures in the raid, but be called out on the fact that the party consists of True Souls. With the threat of punishment looming, the party can decide her fate which can lead to her death or reimprisonment.
- If the party speaks to Sazza after she is spared a second time, she can be persuaded with a DC10 check to give up information, she will inform the party of a secret cache behind the waterfall near the bridge. X: -133 Y: 398 .
- If Sazza is not freed and escorted out of the grove, then the Save the Goblin Sazza quest will resolve with her death, and her corpse may be looted through the cage.
- If all three goblin leaders are killed after Sazza was freed and escorted out of the grove, she will die instantly upon the third goblin leader's death.
- If Sazza is freed and Minthara is not killed but knocked out and the other two goblin leaders are killed, she will remain alive and can be encountered later in Act Two.
Act Two
If kept alive during Act One, Sazza can once again be encountered in the audience chamber at Moonrise Towers, being judged along with other goblins for their failure to secure the Artifact. Their fate is given to the party to determine, and she can once again be set free (which will award an achievement) or can be executed with varying degrees of cruelty.
If freed again, Sazza and the other goblins immediately flee from Moonrise and cannot be spoken to again. It is noted by the party themselves in a dialogue option that she and the other goblin likely fell prey to the Shadow Curse on account of them not having a 
Moonlantern.
However, if Sazza was spared, a scrap of a letter from her can be found in the 
Chest of Grateful Words in the Epilogue. It says she has been wandering to find anyone who'd still be devoted to the Absolute (ignorant about her goddess's fall), and ended up in a cage, captured by ornery cat people (probably 
Tabaxi). In her letter, Sazza asks the player character to save her - again.
