— Damays, about Lae'zel

Involvement

Act One

Damays and Nymessa have captured Lae'zel and are discussing their next steps. Damays wants to bring Lae'zel back to their camp but Nymessa wants to leave her in the cage. When the party arrive in the area, Lae'zel telepathically demands for the player character to free her. This initiates  Free Lae'zel.

A party member can offer to aid Damays and Nymessa in killing Lae'zel, or persuade them to release her by passing an Ability Check. If the interacting party member is a drow, drow half-elf, duergar, or githyanki, the tieflings will attack out of fear. Their attack can be dissuaded by passing a DC 5 Intimidation check.

Before leaving the area, if the tieflings were not dispatched through intimidation, the party can ask if they know of a healer. They will direct the party to seek out Nettie, which updates  Find a Cure and initiates  Get Help from Healer Nettie.
