AnonymousFolk Hero Act 2: If you pass a check when speaking to the Bugbear smith in Moonrise, you not only get a discount, but you get an inspiration for basically comparing who has the bigger "sword", in the same area there is a Gnoll who is mind controlled, turning that control onto the Halfling also nets you an Inspiration Point. Down in the basement, if you managed to get ALL the Tieflings to Last Light, there should be 4 in the cells a few cells away from the gnomes, successfully freeing all of them, gets the Folk Hero an inspiration point. The quest itself is a little buggy in how it works and trips atm, but freeing all the folks nets you the inspiration; the simply need to leave the cells for you to get it, though for some reason, I had it appear both when they left the cell, and specifically when they boarded the boat(each exclusively.).

Is anybody in a situation where Smythin is not found in the Shattered Sanctum?

Does Wyll react if you have this as an origin for a custom character?

Inspiration: Rescued from the Flames; is to save a man trapped on the opposite side of the hall of the snooty councilor, trapped by a fallen beam. Breaking any of the doors starts a timer, which can be pushed back very, very briefly by using Control Water and calling it down via Scroll, Cleric, or Quarterstaff: Raindancer - which is once per LONG REST. You can make an investigation check to leverage the beam, use strength to straight lift the beam, and if you fail both those checks, you can just straight attack the beam which has 30 HP. Once you free the man from the beam, use the HELP action on him, and break the door, nearly invisible due to funky camera angles, directly beside him. The only requirement is getting the Beam removed, not saving the man himself, so you CAN leave him to burn, gaining the Dark Urges currently bugged version of this Inspiration(which pops way sooner at the Illithid in the crashed Nautiloid), AND getting the Folk Hero's Rescued from the Flames. Make sure Wyll or any Folk Hero people are as close as possible. This one seems to be finicky when it comes to distance, sometimes not having party members included, despite being literally three walking animations behind the active character. Easy enough to get, but you gotta beeline it asap when you break down one of the doors, which I recommend doing at a distance with a BOW as any of the doors being broken will cause a forced movement effect directly backwards, which for the doors on the inside, can push you all the way downstairs, thus wasting valuable time regrouping the necessary folk.

Snake Whisperer is in the full release, triggers immediately after you go back to Arabella's parents and complete the quest.
