Involvement

Lady Oberon's Bodyguard is in the mess hall, on the first floor of Wyrm's Rock Fortress. She accompanied her mistress,  Lady Freida Oberon and, while waiting for her lady to descend from Audience Hall, spends time chatting with the retinue of other patriars. She is engaged in casual conversation with  Lady Durinbold's Bodyguard, discussing the misfortunes of the Elturel tiefling exiles, and their fate in hands of  Ulder Ravengard and Gortash.

If spoken with afterwards, she expresses confidence in the Steel Watch, repeating her lady's opinion.

If the party confront Gortash, Lady Oberon's Bodyguard can be found along with all other invited guests and their retinue – slaughtered in the Audience hall.

Idle banter

• Lady Oberon's Bodyguard

  Lady Alia says the Absolute's army won't be causing trouble for Gortash - or for us.

• Lady Durinbold's Bodyguard

  I'm not sure I believe her, but does it really matter?

• Lady Oberon's Bodyguard

  Meaning?

• Lady Durinbold's Bodyguard

  Meaning that in the games of generals and dukes, we're not even pawns, just dust on the board.

• Lady Durinbold's Bodyguard

  What happens next is out of our hands.

• Lady Oberon's Bodyguard

  Gortash's got Ravengard on his side. That should tell you something.

• Lady Durinbold's Bodyguard

  What? That every duke's just the same as the last, sticking up for each other as the sky falls around us?

• Lady Oberon's Bodyguard

  Gods, it must be exhausting to be so cynical.

• Lady Durinbold's Bodyguard

  Not as exhausting as all that boot-kissing you've been doing.

• Lady Oberon's Bodyguard

  Ravengard's a hero! Elturel would still be stuck in the Hells if it weren't for him.

• Lady Durinbold's Bodyguard

  Have you seen the tieflings at the south gate? Elturel's exiles, cast out by their own city.

• Lady Durinbold's Bodyguard

  Your precious hero 'liberated' them from one hell only to trap them in another.

• Lady Oberon's Bodyguard

  Shut your mouth. Ravengard is a legend.

• Lady Durinbold's Bodyguard

  Ravengard is a charlatan. Like every last patriar of this wretched city.
