Synopsis:
Karlach plays pretend with her partner.
How to trigger:
Partner her in act 3 LOW, go to the date and afterwards speak with her again.
35. : Hey, wanna play pretend?
0. : You and me. Let's imagine: I get to live fifty more years. We have a whole life ahead of us. What do we do?
43. Player: You deserve to see somewhere beautiful. Evereska, maybe?ELF
6. : You know what? I haven't the faintest idea what that is, but it sounds so delightfully elfy, I'd follow you no questions asked.
5. : Then again, I'd follow you just about anywhere.
4. : Dammit. I wish I had a longer road ahead of me. I want to walk it with you.
32. Player: Try to hide a tear.
25. : Gods! What a disaster. Finding love like this - finding you - so perfectly late.devnote
8. : I've always thought I was fearless. Never scared of a fight, of the future. But dying has taught me so much.devnote
18. : There's no courage in fearlessness. There's courage in being fucking terrified, but still going forward. Still being grateful. Still trying.devnote
33. : We're going to save this city. Together. It's going to be the last thing I do.devnote
3. Player: I'm with you, Karlach. Every step of the way.
49. : That's why I know we're going to win.

36. Player: But maybe you can still live, Karlach.
34. : Call me when you work out the secret to immortality. Until then, I'm just going to get busy living my life. The only one I've got.devnoteEnd
41. Player: Fuck yes.
39. : That's the spirit, soldier!devnote
7. : Let's get busy with it. I've got the rest of my life ahead of me. And a lot to do before I go.devnoteEnd
31. Player: I want that too. Gods, do I want it.
12. : I'm not really tough enough to face any of this, you know. I'm scared shitless.devnote
42. : But... there's a courage in me I never knew I had.devnote

20. : Please! I loved picturing our little-big life together. And maybe it's all playing out... somewhere. Among the realms. Among the stars.devnote
2. : Dying has given me a courage I never knew.devnote

44. Player: I'd love to take you to the ruins of Blingdenstone - its beautiful vaulted caverns.REALLY_UNDERDARK
28. : I haven't spent enough time in the Underdark. It's so beautiful - the colours, the creatures.
13. : I'd love for you to show me where you came from. Hear your stories. Meet your people.
10. Player: As my lifelong muse, my many masterworks would be about you.BARD
21. : 'Karlach on the stairs,' 'Karlach with a peach,' 'Karlach with her hair in plaits'. I can picture it all now.
47. : But I've got a creative streak of my own, you know. And making you laugh is my greatest accomplishment, every time I manage it.
38. Player: I'd like to spend a few years living in a secluded tree-home, a whole forest just to you and me.DRUID
46. : Gods, think of all the grass! The squirrels, the birds. I can practically smell it.
22. : And you could teach me everything you know. How to forage. How to hunt... berries. How to live.devnote
24. Player: I actually think you'd make a great mum.
29. : You know what? That was never part of my plan. But in this fantasy... I can picture it.
11. : You. Me. Two little usses. That's a pretty picture, isn't it?devnote
30. Player: It would look the same as it does now: adventure, fights - all of it together.
1. : Now you're talking. Faerûn is so big, and we've barely scratched the surface.
37. : I've always wanted to square up against a hill giant. With two of us, we might even stand a chance.
14. Player: You will get to live fifty more years. I just know it.
48. : We can dream, soldier. But the thing about dreams is they aren't real.
15. : Anyway, either one of us could drop dead tomorrow for any reason at all. No moment is guaranteed. Except this one. And this one. And maybe this one too.
27. : I have no less than anyone else: a guarantee of nothing.
23. Player: Let's not go there, Karlach. I don't want to think about you being gone.
45. : Hey - it's all right. I'm here now. And if you don't want to talk about the future, I understand.devnote
9. : But. How do I say this? I don't have the luxury of avoiding what's coming. All I have are these moments between us. devnote
40. : That might be all you get too, darling. It's hard. But it's real. I like real things. Even when they're hard.devnoteEnd
