Barbara Duke

**Barbara Duke** is a tiefling bard adventuring through her golden years. She and her sister, Ruthless Baddie Ginsburg, operate several illicit businesses that have made them both very rich. The two have a tense relationship.

She was enjoying a nice brunch when the undead attacked King Demetrius' coronation. Barb joined the fight against the undead soldiers. She fell in battle when a poisoned scimitar slashed her. This is when the orc cleric named Holy Lady Labya joined the fray and healed Barb.

Barb attended the festival with her friend Rory "The Mane Attraction" Sharptooth. She seems to have a calming effect on the leonin barbarian.

The bard has a very aggressive interrogation technique that led to the party learning about the existence of Queen Nekros.

Barb is a very maternal figure. She's warm, generous, and quick to share her disappoint in others.

The tiefling worships Kruphix and Klothys.

Barb and the rest of the Acolytes in Sexy Tights were able to defeat Queen Nekros and her army. During the festival celebrating their victory, she helped summon and assassinate Phaenax. She abstained when it came time to choose between Layla and Labya for godhood seeing either as an affront to the cosmic order. After Labya destroyed Layla's body, the ghost girl possessed the cleric and the two ascended together to become Timeless Beauty and Grandfather Clock.

Barb accepted Kruphix's divine mission to save Waterdeep.
