Overview

Pandirna is married to Almara, who passed away prior to Act One. In letters to her late wife, Pandirna expresses regret in not preventing Almara's death. She now feels obligated to protect the people around her.

Involvement

Act One

Pandirna guards the storage hut in the Emerald Grove. She had consumed a potion from Auntie Ethel, who claimed she would become "as strong as a Bugbear". The potion succeeded but caused  paralysis in Pandirna's legs, relegating her to guard duty.

The party can reach Pandirna by lockpicking the front door or entering through the rear roof. Behind Sazza's cage, a path leads around the cavern toward the rear of the storage hut. If the party attacks Pandirna, pickpockets her, or loots the nearby crates, she becomes hostile and calls for the guards.

To receive the option to offer Pandirna a cure, the party member that interacts with her must be a bard, cleric, druid, or paladin. The paralysis can be cured with  Lesser Restoration or the Amulet of Silvanus. After being cured, Pandirna allows the party to wander the room, but they are not permitted to touch anything.

The Dark Urge has the unique option of breaking Pandirna's legs, which kills her without alerting the guards. This is an oathbreaking action for paladins following the Oath of the Ancients.

In case that Minthara and her raiding party is primed to assault the Emerald Grove, Pandirna will be fit once more and be atop the grove's ramparts alongside Guex, busy filling up empty barrels with oil. If the raid has been beaten back or the goblins' leaders are dead, Pandirna can be found with the other tieflings near the entrance of the Grove, making preparations for the road ahead.
