— Elin, letting the party into the Wyrm's Rock

Involvement

Main article: Find a Way into Wyrm's Rock Fortress

Elin is the commander of the Flaming Fist garrison in the Wyrm's Rock Fortress. She guards the South Drawbridge Checkpoint and prevents the party from entering unless they are in possession of a pass, or can convince her by any means described below.

Surprisingly for a first-in-charge for a whole fortress, Elin is standing guard in person with Gai, Shah, and three Steel Watchers.

The party must speak with her to enter the city via the bridge. Based on the party's actions before approaching Elin, they might have the means to get the free passage into the fortress. Otherwise, they have to pass a difficult ability check (variating on the character's features) or choose to leave.

Companion approval

• Gaining the passage by any "free" means or by succeeding any ability check grants a +1 point of approval from every possible companion currently present in the party.
• Choosing the option "Leave." after Elin asks for an admission grants  -1  -1  -1  -1  +1  +1  -1
