Brynna is a novice of the Absolute. She is searching the Wilderness for survivors of the Nautiloid Wreck alongside her fellow believers Edowin and Andrick.

Involvement

Act One

Brynna is found in the Forest at X: 139 Y: 446 worrying over her brother, Edowin, who is dying from the wounds sustained from an owlbear attack. She is more suspicious than her brother, Andrick, if the player should try to help.

Brynna has been tasked with looking for survivors of the Nautiloid Wreck. If the player reveals they are a survivor, or otherwise reveals themselves to not be a follower of the Absolute, she and her brother will turn aggressive. While you have a few possible Skill Checks involving Medicine or Illithid Persuasion, any choice will continue things peaceful.

If the player does not reveal their allegiance, the remaining siblings will ask the player what they should do next. They can be convinced to keep looking, to leave for the Goblin Camp, or to seek out the owlbear that attacked them. Whatever the case, so long as thing are resolved peaceful with the cultists, the party is rewarded 70 Experience. She can prove a useful ally against the owlbear and if she survives can be told alongside Andrick to either continue their search for survivors of the Nautiloid or return to the Goblin Camp.

In the Goblin Camp, Brynna will say they haven't found the weapon they were looking for, and comment on her unusual allies. She will turn hostile with the rest of the camp if you attack the leaders within the Shattered Sanctum or after the raid on the Emerald Grove.

Spoiler warning! This section reveals interactions with The Dark Urge.

Killing both Brynna and Andrick will award the Inspirational Event Reuniting Friends (Haunted One background).
