    Synopsis:

    Karlach's engine is burning very hot, and it's wearing her out. WE're signalling the toll the engine takes on her, bringing the issue of death forward. She's strained, a bit out of breath

    How to trigger:

    Recruit companion Karlach and long rest in CRE or in SCL.

              Karlach
              : You leave your left flank wide open. If I'm ever not around to cover it, you may find yourself on the wrong side of a goblin spear one of these days.

        • 30. Player: You're tough - that thing in your chest won't overpower you.

            : Tell that to the inferno where my heart was, soldier. Actually, don't. I don't want to piss it off.

        Karlach
        : I need to find a mechanic. A good one, or this thing's going boom.

        Karlach
        : Thing's been running in overdrive since I left Avernus; I'll burn clean through anyone who gets too close.
        • 5. Player: You said it was a gift from Zariel - how?

            Karlach
            : The short version: Clever sadism. The longer version: I worked for a guy who sold me into Zariel's service. She put the engine in my chest, and now it's burning me up.
