Recruitment[]

Neera (Beregost, initially) — Desperate in Beregost

Neera is available to recruit from Chapter One on. She can be found in Beregost, south-east of the northern entrance, seeking aid against a group of mages hunting her, Neera barely gets to introduce herself before being confronted by the pursuing mages. Ekandor, the leader of the mages, demands your party step aside or be attacked. Regardless of your decision, Neera will force a battle in which she preemptively teleports Ekandor away using Wild Magic. After the ensuing battle with the remaining mages, Neera can be recruited.

“	I met a half-elf named Neera on the road and rescued her from a group of Red Wizards intent on studying her talent for wild magic. Her spells are unpredictable but sometimes far more powerful than those of other spellcasters. Her personality seems just as unpredictable, so I hope I made the right choice in bringing her along.	”
— Journal: Something Wild^[1]^[2]

If Edwin Odesseiron is in your party during the encounter, Edwin will recognize Ekandor as a fellow member of the Red Wizards of Thay and attempt to mediate with his colleague. After Neera's preemptive teleportation of Ekandor, Edwin pulls rank with the remaining mages since he is the ranking Red Wizard in Ekandor's absence. As a result, the henchmen disperse without a fight. Neera will then begin her usual dialog by asking to join the party, however Edwin will then threaten to leave since his own brethren are hunting her. Thus, the player must choose between keeping Edwin or recruiting Neera.

“	I met a half-elf named Neera on the road and rescued her from a group of Red Wizards intent on studying her talent for wild magic. Between her unpredictable spells and manner, I thought it better to let her go on her way. She said she would be at the Friendly Arm Inn.	”
— Journal: Wild Thing^[3]

If you dismiss Neera, she will be found in the Friendly Arm Inn.

Quests[]

Biography[]

“

When asked about her past, NEERA says she has been on the run from Red Wizards for months and months. She seems quick-thinking and a little glib, but you have heard that wild mages are among the most powerful spellcasters... as long as they don't have an accident.
Despite her cheerful and capricious demeanor, you sense her past haunts her. As much as she loves unleashing the powers of her wild magic, she also seems to fear the harm it can cause.

Dialogues[]

	You! HEY, YOU! Yes, you. I don't see anybody else around here. A little help, please?
	There's bandits! Vicious, magic bandits! And they must have gone to advanced bandit school or something. They're trying to capture me!
	Listen, I'd love to give you a really long and detailed explanation of what's going on but—oh, look! WE'RE OUT OF TIME.
	My hero! Now, where are the rest of your men hiding? I'll be honest, I was betting on you having a legion of soldiers, because you'll need it, and—OH GOODNESS, THEY'RE HERE.
	I am really, really, really, really, really sorry about what just happened. I didn't want to involve you, but if I hadn't run into you when I did, they'd be elbow deep in my brains right now.
	No use at all! Can't cook, can't clean, can't dance. You may as well just let me go.
	Really? REALLY? That's just great. People like you really bolster my faith in strangers.
	Casting wild magic is like... playing a flute by ear. I just kinda... picked it up as I went along, doing what felt natural. In magical terms, I can play a pretty mean tune. But when I miss a note, the flute shoots fire at everyone.
	Also, the flute sometimes turns me into a hamster.
	What a dirty mind you have! It's nothing like that. I just want to know more about how to handle my wild magic.
	Oh dear! Meklin! So good to see you. I see you weren't hindered by any of my misdirection spells... that were cast purely as a practical joke.
	Half-elven! And I have no idea what money you're talking about. Well, I may have taken a few coins for the road, but I hardly think that's worth chasing after me...
	I was gonna pay him back! Eventually! At some point! In the future. If I could find him.
	Come now, it was just a little gold. What's money between friends?! Chums? Acquaintances?
	I am very, very, very, very, very sorry about what just happened. I didn't want to steal from Meklin; I just had no other choice. I wish things had turned out differently.
	I'm glad you see it my way. Now, if we run into a stocky dwarf by the name of Orthan with a burn on his forehead, just pretend I'm a deaf mute and you found me in a ditch.
	Kidding!
	I am not a thief! It was a momentary lapse of ethics in a life-or-death situation. I'm on the straight and narrow, I swear it!
	And I'm sure you've never done anything wrong? No one is perfect, not even you. Let's go find a seer and see whether we can conjure up an image of you kicking a small dog.
	I have a feeling you're gonna eat those words someday.
	Ooh! You are TERRIBLE. I hope that when you finally die, you spend eternity being gnawed on by hell hounds.
	Hell hounds are not a myth!
	No! They're real, and they breathe fire! And they come from the Nine Hells! They can melt iron bars!
	Shut up. I hate you.
