Involvement[edit | edit source]
Merony confronts the party the first time they climb the ladder, stating that entry to the Szarr Palace is forbidden. The party can make a passive DC 15 Insight check to determine that she is just a drone and is not quite "all there". The party can then attempt to pass by passing an ability check:
- [INTIMIDATION] Another word from you and you'll fly out of this tower. (DC 15)
- [DECEPTION] I am inspecting the security, on your master's orders. (DC 15)
- [ROGUE] [DECEPTION] Cazador hired me for a job - it's very hush, hush. If you don't let me in, he's going to be most upset. (DC 15
)
Or the party can attack the guards:
- I'm here to kill Cazador Szarr.
- Attack.
If Astarion is present, she tells him that he should be at the ritual and that he must not be late. No check is required to pass.
Casting Greater Restoration or similar on Merony or her companions causes them to play voice lines such as "All I remember is wanting to serve him." They vanish after the voice line is played.
