Efink Murderdeath
Efink Murderdeath is a high elf cleric, pale and beautiful, who leans into the fear of wet hair among the Dark Lord's forces, so her wispy robes and hair are always wet BK E1·00:03:33. She floats in a freezing pool, from which her mind passes into the realm of spirits BK E1·00:04:40. There she questions the spirits Abaseel, Azrah and Orgrah about the next task for dominion over the realm for the Dark Lord of Shadows, and Abaseel is her favorite BK E1·00:05:33 BK E1·00:06:23. Afterward she takes up her staff, stolen from the wizard Randolph BK E1·00:11:14.
Efink Murderdeath is a high elf cleric and oracle in the service of the Lord of Shadows, who reads the future through spirits in a pool and a rolled bone BK E1·00:03:33 BK E1·00:05:33 BK E1·01:33:18. The spirit Abaseel shows her a vision of her father, whom Brennan names as Telmeir the Calm, and she later says she has had a vision of his fall BK E1·00:06:57 BK E1·00:07:16 BK E1·00:42:32. At the council she backs Leiland's claim that his delegate will find the crown, proposes a blood pact when the Lord of Shadows falls, and tries to revivify him, but it has been too long BK E1·01:29:13 BK E1·01:43:41 BK E1·01:47:31 BK E1·01:47:39.
At the volcano she asks her father Telmeir how he feels, and she pulls out divorce papers that carry Percival's name BK E2·00:10:56 BK E2·00:29:34. She says she is torn between her father and her husband, who she has hated forever but who now has status BK E2·01:06:40. She pleads with her father that she only wanted to make him proud, while Lilith's web whip forces his Dexterity save, and he drops into the lava BK E2·01:30:03 BK E2·01:32:12 BK E2·01:34:45. She also claims to be pregnant, and Amy says at the table that this is a dirty lie BK E2·01:28:33 BK E2·01:28:38. She secretly heals her husband and gets him to join the team BK E2·01:54:22 BK E2·02:09:10. Afterward Brennan tells the villains that Telmeir is fully dead, Lilith says she is sorry about Efink's father, and Efink answers that the battle is the closure in the caldera for her, forever BK E3·00:03:22 BK E3·01:20:06 BK E3·01:20:15. She throws her divorce papers into the lava BK E3·01:21:07. She proposes that they jump onto the good wagon, then asks Percival to kiss her and pushes him off the balcony BK E3·01:56:08 BK E3·02:03:37 BK E3·02:03:44.
On the airship she heals Markus, fights with her Spirit Guardians, which she calls the Elven paparazzi, and ends the battle holding the helm wheel, detached from the ship BK E4·00:07:10 BK E4·00:17:28 BK E4·02:40:01. She asks why they did not kill Galfast and whether it was because of her husband BK E4·00:10:10. As she falls, Brennan notes that both her father and her husband fell earlier that day, and the spirits come to tell her that all will be good, which she answers by telling them to get out and saying they have lied to her BK E5·00:17:43 BK E5·00:17:59 BK E5·00:18:26. The spirits then leave her, and her divination abilities are gone BK E5·00:19:42 BK E5·00:47:02. Markus tells her that her husband, the king, is dead and that she is the only standing royalty BK E5·00:47:27. She tells the statue of Gogmoth that she now worships the line between good and evil, and asks Lilith for a hug BK E5·01:44:14 BK E5·01:52:00.
In the tomb she fires lightning with her staff and casts Sanctuary on Lilith BK E6·00:17:59 BK E6·00:20:27. She decides she must become the necro boatman and so decide who becomes the new crowned king BK E6·01:05:29. She casts Turn Undead on the boatman, who saves, and she then dispels the holiness from her weapon so that the boatman takes 34 radiant damage BK E6·01:45:31 BK E6·01:46:05 BK E6·01:47:31. After Lilith cuts the cord and says goodbye, Brennan says the boatman is no more and Efink stands in the center of the boat BK E6·01:59:46 BK E6·02:01:16. The baby asks whether she pronounces it to be true, and she answers yes BK E6·02:42:54 BK E6·02:42:58. In the ending Brennan says she is bound to the fountain of blood, where all the secrets she has ever wanted lie BK E6·02:53:48. Amy says she becomes a more accessible sort of bartender therapist, and Keldriel comes to talk to her BK E6·02:45:34. She asks the ghost orc Olag whether she looks better covered in blood than ever before, and he says she looks great BK E6·02:54:24 BK E6·02:54:38.
