Synopsis:

First meeting with Karlach, future Origin/Companion. She's a fugitive, wounded and hiding from cultists who are hunting for her to drag her back to hell.

The dialogue begins with a stream separating the player and Karlach, as she points a crossbow at them when they approach, holding them at bay.

She's fierce, defiant, and intense. But friendly and grateful if the player helps. Shouldn't be too angry - she's in a bad situation and doesn't know who to trust, but she's also been in far worse situations. She has a sense of humour about her predicatment, no matter how bad it gets.
