Involvement

Act One

“

Grand Duke Ravengard could be inside! Don't just stand there - push!

„

— Yeva

Yeva can be first encountered in Act One, on the Risen Road, struggling to get inside the burning building of the Waukeen's Rest inn together with her subordinates  Fist Recruit Aelis,  Fist Recruit Ito,  Fist Recruit Pavel and  Fist Recruit Tristan.  Gauntlet Dain and  Fist Recruit Ephren are also present but do not take part in the rescue activity. As the inn burns after being razed by a horde of goblins and drow, Yeva attempts to push through the blocked main door to no avail. If spoken to, she explains they are trying to save  Duke Ravengard, who might still be trapped inside. If  Wyll is in the party (or played as an origin), he recognizes the name at once, but Yeva does not react, dedicated to current task.

A party member can step in and aid the Fists by crushing the door with a  DC 10 Strength Check. If successful, Yeva and other members of the squad run to the second floor, where Florrick can be heard shouting for help.

If freed, Florrick, along with Yeva and her Fists, immediately descends and goes outside. Florrick then announces to the Fists that Grand Duke Ravengard has been taken by the drow westward, and personally orders Yeva to report to the Manip (likely  Shuurga or  Vidor) for reinforcements.

Upon receiving their orders, Yeva, along with her subordinates and  Gauntlet Dain, run to begin the task assigned, away from the inn. Yeva is the only one of them who may be encountered in the game later.

Act Two

“

This is a bleeding shitshow. Half my squad's dead, the other half's sporting tentacles.

„

— Yeva, if freed from the mind flayer pod

Near the end of the Act Two, Yeva can be met again in the Mind Flayer Colony, imprisoned in a pod within the Tadpoling Centre. Upon interacting with the Neural Apparatus controlling the pods, it is revealed that Yeva has been captured and consigned to future transformation and – along with  Zevlor and  Manip Shuurga – has been imprisoned in one of several pods around the room.

Choosing to release Yeva and other pod captives immediately leads to a battle with several victims already transformed into  Mind Flayers and all  Intellect Devourers that spot the fight. If she survives, Yeva thanks the party and explains that she and her squad were defeated in their attempt to rescue Ulder Ravengard. She also confirms that the Duke was still human, alive and unbowed when she last saw him. Yeva then presumably escapes the colony with Zevlor and Shuurga, and is never seen again.

Notes

• Yeva had a different role in Early Access, especially in the form of interactions with  Wyll. She was the commanding officer of Wyll, before the latter turned to adventuring as a Warlock. She believed him to be all talk with no skill to back up his boisterous claims. Yeva had a completely different model in Early Access (see the Gallery section).
