16. : It's not that I want to collect them, per se. It's just that if we should happen upon them, I can use them in battle to fire up my engine.ORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutSoulCoinsBranchORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutSoulCoinsBranch = False
13. : Evil's evil, but it can be put to good use. Sometimes. Maybe. Right?End
22. : We were both part of Zariel's inner circle. Her by choice. Me by force.ORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutMizorasJudgement_PresentBranchORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutMizorasJudgement_PresentBranch = False
80. : In the grand scheme of things, I'm inconsequential to Zariel. Sure, I've got the engine. But I wasn't even her strongest fighter.
70. : But she favoured me like a child favours a captive pet. Mizora envied the attention, I suppose.
76. : I'm sure when Zariel gave her the order to hunt me down, Mizora was delighted.
53. Player: She's given me no further instructions to harm you, at least.REALLY_WYLL
44. : I guess that's good news, right? Maybe Zariel's found some other poor sap to occupy her interest.
32. Player: Do you think she'll keep coming after you?
88. : I don't know. You'd think she'd have more important things to do. Devils and their pride.devnote
39. Player: I can see why you were so keen to escape.
56. : No kidding. The fighting, the chaos, the betrayal... it had the makings of a good stage show, but I did not want to be one of the players.
21. Player: Change the subject.ORI_Karlach_State_ReturnToDefaultBranchEnd
38. Player: Leave.End
26. : We didn't lose him. We sent him away. To the Hells, to serve Zariel as a fucking lemure.devnoteORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutWyllsDeathBranchORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutWyllsDeathBranch = False
18. : I keep going over what I'd have done diffferently, if I had the chance. We could've just done exactly what Mizora said. Bought ourselves a little time to get Wyll free.devnote
8. : I was so certain I didn't want to do anything that'd help Zariel. But I was wrong.
67. : We failed him. I failed him. I just can't forgive myself for that.devnoteEnd
33. : Funny you should ask. I was just thinking about what would've become of us without that nautiloid.ORI_Karlach_Event_AskedHowTheyEndedUpBranchORI_Karlach_Event_AskedHowTheyEndedUpBranch = False
48. : I mean, I know where I'd be. Trapped in Avernus still, with you on my tail. Which means you'd be...,
REALLY_WYLL
48. : I mean, I know where I'd be. Trapped in Avernus still, with the Blade of Frontiers on my tail. But what about you?
97. Player: I would have been continuing my mission for Lady Shar.ShadowHeart_InParty_Knows_SharWorshipper, REALLY_SHADOWHEART
24. : Good old Lady Shar. Fair enough. I probably would've been stuck serving an evil mistress too, if I'm honest.
30. : I know we're different, but I'm glad that mad ship brought us together. Who knows where we'll end up?End
63. Player: I would have been heading for Baldur's Gate. I have matters to tend to there.ShadowHeart_InParty_Knows_SharWorshipper = False, REALLY_SHADOWHEART
40. : I wonder if we ever crossed paths in the Gate. We would've been a lot younger, but I feel like yours is a face I wouldn't easily forget.
60. Player: Chasing a terrible devil called Karlach across Avernus - you might have heard of her.REALLY_WYLL
28. : Wonder if you would've caught me. Would we have figured it all out, come to terms, or would it have been a case of last lunkhead standing?
85. : Happy the nautiloid intervened before we snapped each others' necks.End
82. Player: Raging against ghaik in my Rite of Ascension.REALLY_LAEZEL
41. : Now there's a sight I'd like to see. The great Lae'zel climbing a mind flayer like a scorpion, taking it down with one fatal strike.
93. : You'd be magnificent.End
89. Player: Prowling Baldur's Gate at night, finding victims I can lure back to Cazador.ORI_Astarion_Knows_Vampireness, REALLY_ASTARION
61. : It's hard to picture, honestly. That Cazador could never beat you in a fair fight.
10. : Not the Astarion I know.End
35. Player: Oh, who can say? Maybe lounging in some tavern.ORI_Astarion_Knows_Vampireness = False, REALLY_ASTARION
81. : I'd like to have joined you there. Roaring fire, frosty drink, a bard in the corner...
58. : You probably would've told me to kick rocks, but I'd have a good time.devnoteEnd
96. Player: I've a... condition I need to manage. I'd still be looking for a cure.ORI_Gale_Knows_LearnedBackstory = False, REALLY_GALE
2. : We have more in common than I knew. I won't pry for details. Right now, at least.devnoteEnd
14. Player: Wandering the wilds of Faerûn searching for a cure to the orb. If I lived that long...ORI_Gale_Knows_LearnedBackstory, REALLY_GALE
51. : Living a normal lifespan is so yesterday. Believe me.End
84. Player: This is... all there has ever been. I remember only snippets of red.REALLY_DARK_URGE
37. : It'll come back to you. Maybe you'll recognise something we pass, or maybe we'll find out what happened to you.devnote
64. : I get the feeling we've got a long road ahead of us. I hope we find you some answers along the way.End
34. Player: I... I think my home is somewhere in Baldur's Gate. Perhaps I will find something to belong to there.,
REALLY_DARK_URGE
34. Player: I'd be back in my home, not a care in the world.
27. : Ah man, lucky you. That's the dream. Maybe when this is all done, you can show me where you came from.
47. : My family home's long gone, but I'll show you my favourite chowhall in the city, if it's still standing.End
91. Player: I know so little of this world that I've forgotten. There is much to see.,
REALLY_DARK_URGE
91. Player: I'd be in the middle of another adventure, blessedly free of any tadpole.
50. : I can picture you getting mixed up in some outrageous shit. Giants, beholders, Thayans, the works.
5. : Maybe once we've wrapped up the current shenanigans, we'll rest a bit and find some new heap of trouble to throw ourselves at.End
9. Player: You know I can't remember anything before the Nautiloid... And I don't know if I want to.,
REALLY_DARK_URGE
9. Player: So much has happened, I can barely remember what life was like before the abduction.
72. : Lucky you. Sometimes I think I'd be better off indulging in a bit of light oblivion.
94. : Well. We may as well make some good memories mixed in with the body horror, eh?End
36. : He got his claws into me early. I was a wild kid - brawling my way through the city.ORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutGortashInCOLBranchORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutGortashInCOLBranch = False
95. : One of my mates got wind of a bit of work guarding some indoorsy type with lots of enemies. Seemed like easy money, so I went in for it.
83. : He took one look at me and said I was perfect. I liked that. Not like that, you know. Just - it felt like a good fit.devnote
71. : I kept him safe, and he paid me well. Well enough to move into a better neighbourhood and put something away for the future. My future.
78. : I respected him. Trusted him. And he returned that trust, that respect. His life was in my hands, and I took that seriously.
52. : The whole thing with Zariel happened so fast. I had no idea what had gone down until it was over. One minute I was in Baldur's Gate, a happy, healthy not-quite-kid. The next, I was burning up in Avernus with an engine for a heart.
31. : Zariel laughed. Said she paid him well for my services. She'd wanted to test her new machine, and he said I'd be able to handle it.
29. : He was right. Sometimes I wished he weren't. Evil, evil bastard.End
42. : You saw the extent of Flo's friendship. She'll lend you a hand, long as she can crush your spirit while she's at it.MOO_MoonriseBazarSoulCoins_OM_Karlach_COM, ORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutFloBranchORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutFloBranch = False
54. : I knew never to let my guard down around her. But she always made me laugh, even when I least wanted to.
11. : If she'd been completely different from who she was, we might've been real friends.
49. Player: She gave you a note. What did it say?
1. : Nothing worth reading. Cambion manipulation at its most obvious.devnote
65. Player: Unfortunately, a leopard can't change its spots.
4. : And a devil will never not break your heart.End
43. Player: Pity. Sounds like she meant something to you, in whatever small way.
74. : I guess she did. Much as it makes me want to puke to admit it.
25. : Devils, you know? Fucking devils. They really screw with you, don't they?End
15. Player: You do have real friends now. Me, for one.['Karlach 5']
92. : Maybe someday, anyway.devnoteApproval_AtLeast_0_For_Sp2 = FalseEnd
59. : Thank the gods. And I do, every day.devnoteEnd
57. : Mizora. She lives off crumbs from Zariel's table. I've always hated the lick-arse. Obviously, the feeling is mutual.devnoteORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutMizorasJudgement_NotPresentBranchORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutMizorasJudgement_NotPresentBranch = False
66. : Thank the gods it's over, I say. My last trip to the Hells ever, ever.ORI_Karlach_Event_AskedBackFromHellBranchORI_Karlach_Event_AskedBackFromHellBranch = False
20. Player: Wasn't any part of you tempted to stay? Hope will probably turn that place into a real home.
46. : No such thing as a home in the Hells. If Hope's happy, good for her. But mark my words, some devil or other will push in and claim the place sooner or later.
23. : Stick around in Avernus long enough, and you'll run out of hope entirely.
69. : No, soldier, I'd rather live out my days in the world I love than live forever in a world I hate.
0. : I don't know much, but I do know that.End
86. Player: I knew we'd make it out in one piece.
68. : Right you are. Got what we came for, and then some.
12. Player: Never say never.
6. : NEVER EVER. I mean it. That was my last hurrah in that hole for good.
7. : Engine's running like a bat out of Avernus again, though. Gods, I almost forgot how hot this thing is.devnote
3. : Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Probably.devnoteEnd
73. : I don't know what I was expecting. Something beyond-real.ORI_Karlach_Event_JaheirasHouseBranchORI_Karlach_Event_JaheirasHouseBranch = False
19. : My life would've been so different if I ended up working for her instead of Gortash. Looking after these kids. Making a difference.devnote
55. : Maybe in the next life.devnoteORI_Karlach_State_ReturnToDefaultBranchEnd
79. : Wasn't all that long ago. I never knew the whole of how and why, but I remember the devils slavering with delight.ORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutElturelBranchORI_Karlach_Event_AskedAboutElturelBranch = False
