Involvement[edit section | visual editor]

Act One[edit section | visual editor]

Ephren is at Waukeen's Rest inn, together with several other recruits - Fist Recruit Aelis Fist Recruit Aelis, Fist Recruit Ito Fist Recruit Ito, Fist Recruit Pavel Fist Recruit Pavel and Fist Recruit Tristan Fist Recruit Tristan, as well as Gauntlet Dain Gauntlet Dain and Gauntlet Yeva Gauntlet Yeva. She is kneeling in front of the dead body of Flaming Fist Jacek Flaming Fist Jacek, uttering a prayer[1].

Ephren was part of the squad accompanying Duke Ulder Ravengard Duke Ulder Ravengard on his way from Elturel and staying at the inn when it was attacked by a horde of goblins and drow.

If a party member decides to talk to her, they can ask a few questions on the attack, offer condolences or comment on the situation, depending on their character's class. Clerics Clerics of Helm Helm have also an option to join Ephren's prayer.

However, if the chosen party member is a Lolth-Sworn Drow Lolth-Sworn Drow, Ephren considers them an attacker and must be convinced otherwise, or fought. The player character then has several options that might placate the Fist:

[2]
  • [DETECT THOUGHTS] [INTELLIGENCE] Cast Detect Thoughts.
    • I am no monster - I mean no harm to you. Tell me what happened here.
  • [INTIMIDATION] Think carefully, colnbluth [3]. Do you truly wish to anger Lolth's favoured? (DC 5)
  • [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] Go on, try it. (DC 5 Advantage Icon.png)
  • [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] TRY IT, WEAKLINGS. (DC 5 Advantage Icon.png)
  • [PERSUASION] Be at ease. I didn't come seeking battle. (DC 5)

If successful, Ephren asks the party to speak to Gauntlet (not clear which one) and leave her to her mourning. If the party undertake the task of rescuing all possible survivors (notably, Counsellor Florrick Counsellor Florrick) from the burning building, Ephren does not participate, remaining near Jacek's body, and stays there even after Florrick commands the Fist to search for Duke Ravengard, and all other Fists depart.

Act Three[edit section | visual editor]

In Act Three, Ephren is only mentioned by Roger Highberry Roger Highberry (if he survived the encounter with the serial killer at the Wine Festival). Sorting the correspondence, Roger finds a  letter from Ephren, obviously bringing the word for Molly the Orphan Molly the Orphan about her father's death.
