Overview[edit | edit source]

Pandirna was married to Almara, who passed away prior to Act One. In letters to her late wife, Pandirna expresses regret in not being able to prevent Almara's death. She now feels obligated to protect the people around her.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Act One[edit | edit source]

Pandirna guards the storage hut in the Emerald Grove. She drank a potion from Auntie Ethel Auntie Ethel, who claimed she would become "as strong as a bugbear". Although the potion worked it also caused Paralysis Paralysis in Pandirna's legs, relegating her to guard duty.

Pandirna can be reached by lockpicking the front door or entering through the rear roof. Behind Sazza Sazza's cage, a path leads around the cavern toward the rear of the storage hut. If the party attacks Pandirna, pickpockets her, or loots the nearby crates, she becomes hostile and calls for the guards.

To receive the dialogue option to offer Pandirna a cure, the party member that interacts with her must be a bard, cleric, druid, or paladin. The paralysis can be cured with Lesser Restoration Lesser Restoration or the Amulet of Silvanus. After being cured, Pandirna allows the party to wander the room, but not to touch anything.

The Dark Urge has the unique option of breaking Pandirna's legs, which kills her without alerting the guards. This is an oathbreaking action for paladins following the Oath of the Ancients.

If causing hostilities in the area, Pandirna is Knocked Down Knocked Down and Paralysed Paralysed, and the party cannot interact with her. This can be done after promising to cure her, getting approvals, then telling her to wait.

If Minthara Minthara and her raiding party are primed to assault the Emerald Grove, Pandirna will be fit once more and be atop the grove's ramparts alongside Guex Guex, busy filling up empty barrels with oil. If the raid is been beaten back or the goblins' leaders are dead, Pandirna can then be found with the other tieflings near the entrance of the Grove, making preparations for the road ahead.

Idle banter[edit | edit source]

During the Emerald Grove assault, Pandirna will be rallied by Asharak Asharak:

  • Asharak
    Looking well, folks - keep it up.
    • Guex
      Yes sir!
      • Asharak
        I'm not 'sir'. I was a doorjack in Elturel.
        • Pandirna
          'Yes sir'.
          • Guex
            Shut it, you - and help me with these barrels.
  • Asharak
    Remember - get down to the cave as soon as you hear the horn.
    • Guex
      What happens if they attack before we get the signal?
      • Asharak
        I reckon you'll hear something.
  • Asharak
    Almost done?
    • Pandirna
      Nearly. We've ransacked the packs for anything that'll burn.
      • Asharak
        Good. Reckon we can brave a few nights without lamp-light if it means burning these buggers.

Pandirna can also be seen chatting to Guex Guex while filling barrels of oil:

  • Pandirna
    Gods, this oil bloody stinks.
    • Guex
      Not so bad as burning goblin will, I'd wager.
      • Pandirna
        It seems... cruel, when you say it like that.
        • Guex
          Cruel? Imagine what they'd do to us, given half the chance.
  • Pandirna
    Can we just get this done, please? I want to get below before -
    • Guex
      Before what? Afraid you might actually have to fight?
      • Pandirna
        Look. Asharak already picked who he wanted on the walls, right? And it wasn't us.
        • Guex
          You might be afraid of your own shadow, but some of us -
          • Pandirna
            Puff out your chest all you like - I'm going where it's safe.
  • Guex
    Would you be careful? We're going to spill if you don't stop shaking.
    • Pandirna
      I'm not shaking.
      • Guex
        Please, you're trembling like -
        • Pandirna
          I'm not. Shaking.
          • Guex
            All right...
