Manip Nestor is a dwarven fighter and a member of the Flaming Fist. He can be found in Rivington in Act Three.

“

You - turn around and toddle your way right back out of here. Everything in this barn has been donated for the refugees - not you.

„

— Nestor, to the player character, if they were spotted inside the barn without permission

Involvement

Nestor is the chief of the Flaming Fist squad, guarding the goods donated to the benefit of refugees, put into storage inside the Requisitioned Barn. His subordinates are Fist Broadhorn, Fist Lochan, Fist Madigan, Fist Poole, Fist Rowan, and Fist Varone.

Nestor accepts donations of gold (500) or supplies (40) for refugees. Also, the party can donate any amount of various items. To this end, Nestor has a dialogue option to engage in trade, despite not carrying any inventory.

Interacting with Manip Nestor plays a vital part in resolving the  Investigate the Suspicious Toys quest. To check and find dangerous donations, the party should negotiate with Nestor to gain passage into the barn, which would otherwise be considered trespassing. If spotted inside the barn by any Fist guard, explanations of searching for wrong-stuffed toys are not taken seriously, and the party is taken to Nestor anyway.

The player character can use various options to gain access into the barn:

• [PERSUASION] I need to get into the barn - right now. Something dangerous might be among the donations. (DC 10) (after witnessing the basement of Arfur's mansion)
• [PERSUASION] I'd like to take the donation into the barn myself. (DC 20)

If the party was spotted exploring the barn without due permission, they can appeal to be investigating a crime:

• I was investigating a crime - I think some of the donations might be dangerous.
  • [INTIMIDATION] So you're fine with innocent people getting hurt just because you won't own up to your guards' negligence? (DC 18)
  • [PERSUASION] Please, go and check. It won't take much of your time, but it could save lives. (DC 15)
• [DECEPTION] I'll be honest with you: I'm hot on the trail of my client's prize pig Lulabelle. (DC 20)
• [FIGHTER] [DECEPTION] Fist <name> reporting for duty, SIR! I was asked to check on the barn. (DC 18)

If the party (unnoticed) tried to interact with donated dangerous toys and they exploded, they might use following options to explain themselves away:

• [PERSUASION] I almost died in the explosion myself! I want to find whoever's responsible. (DC 15) (toys exploded)
• [PERSUASION] Why would I disarm my own explosives? I just want to find whoever's responsible. (DC 15) (toys didn't explode yet)
• [DECEPTION] I was sent by the Council to check up on your operation. (DC 20)
• Because I've already found and dealt with the real culprit: Arfur Gregorio. You're lucky I was here. (Arfur already confessed)
• [DARK URGE] Activate the toy and toss it to him.

Companion approval and Inspiration

When first speaking to Nestor, he asks for donations instead of regular greeting. Some possible answers to his request grant the following approval/disapproval points from various companions:

• Player character: Donate some gold.  -1  +1  +2  +1  -1  -1  +1  +1
• Player character: I'll take a donation, please.  +1  +1

Interacting with Nestor invokes the following Inspirational Events:

•  Alms for the Unfortunate ( Noble background)
•  Food for the Soul ( Acolyte background) - if donating amount of supplies enough to take a Long Rest
•  Gifts of the Wilds ( Outlander background)
•  Never Trust an Honest Person ( Charlatan background) - lie to gain access into the barn
•  Sharing the Spoils ( Soldier background)
•  Spare What You Can ( Urchin background)
