Stirge (gnome)

The Stirge is an NPC from the game, Neverwinter Nights. He is a murderer of infants, and was imprisoned in the jail at Waterdeep. At the time the PC encounters the Stirge, he has escaped the prison along with four accomplices, and has a bounty on his head. The PC may either kill him and collect the bounty, take his ear as a proof of death and allow him to go free, or simply allow him to go free. His fate is unknown if the PC chooses to let him go free.

The Stirge, along with criminal accomplices Wyvern, Yesgar, Zor and Delilah, form a memorable multi-part quest in Act 2 of the game. This group was the first to successfully escape from the jail at Waterdeep.
