=== Act Two ===

{{main|Kill Raphael's Old Enemy}}

==== Killing Yurgir ====

[[Bard]]s and [[Warlock|Warlocks]] are given a unique opportunity to defeat Yurgir and his group through dialogue checks. It is also possible for other classes if they pass an [[DC]] 14 [[Insight]] check after Yurgir recites his contract. {{note|There's an Insight check during dialogue to figure out that the lyrics hide a trick, then a persuasion roll of 16 to convince Yurgir to kill his minions, then a Persuasion roll of 21 to convince him to kill his Displacer Beast, then yet another 21 Persuasion roll to convince him to kill himself. Even succeeding on just the first roll will make the fight significantly easier.}} Listening to Yurgir recite his contract earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Catchy Tune''' ([[Entertainer]] background). Tricking Yurgir to kill himself earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Killer Poetry''' ([[Haunted One]] background). Obtaining Yurgir's [[Hellfire Hand Crossbow]] awards the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Tools of the Trade''' ([[Outlander]] background).

It is also possible to sneak up on Yurgir and his group, avoiding conversation entirely. Stealing from Yurgir's chests (such as using stealth) will lock the party out of all friendly negotiations with him, even if the characters doing the stealing were not detected.

==== Freeing Yurgir ====

{{main|Break Yurgir's Contract}}

While in peaceful negotiations with Yurgir, the party can speak with his displacer beast, [[Nessa]],{{note|If you want to fight Yurgir, you can get Nessa, the displacer beast, to fight against him with a Persuasion roll of 30, after investigating the [[spider meat]].}} and one of the merregons; [[Hoarding Merregon]] who can be traded with, found at {{Coords|-660|-760}}. {{note|If you trade with it but then kill Yurgir and his minions, it does not drop any gold you used to purchase wares, nor most of the ordinary items traded.}}

=== Act Three ===

==== Visiting camp ====

If the party freed Yurgir from his contract, the orthon will appear one night during a [[Long Rest]]. He will compliment the [[campsite]] and tell the party to seek out the diabolist [[Helsik]] in order to access Raphael's abode, the [[House of Hope]]. When questioned on his motives, Yurgir appears genuinely thankful for helping him with his contract and considers it a favour repaid.

 

Yurgir is encountered again while leaving the House of Hope after stealing from Raphael. In the ensuing fight, if the party helped free him from his contract, he will switch allegiances and help the party kill [[Raphael]]. If the party killed Yurgir in Act 2, he can still be persuaded to aid the party with a {{SkillCheck|Persuasion|30}}.

If Yurgir aids the party, he will become an ally for [[Gather Your Allies]]. When summoned, he becomes a playable [[Companions#Temporary_Companions|temporary companion]] through the action {{SAI|Hellstalker Yurgir}}.
