Find Karlach

The fires of victory still burn as the Grove’s defenders gather, mourning their losses and clinging to hope for the future. After speaking with Lae’zel and Shadowheart, your thoughts drift to the heart of the festivities-where Karlach’s laughter rings out, bold and infectious.

You weave through the crowd, the tension of battle slowly melting away with every step. Karlach is unmistakable: her presence commands the space, her smile wide and genuine, her eyes bright with the thrill of survival and camaraderie.

She spots you, her grin growing wider. “There you are! Thought you’d gone off to brood with the moody ones.” She nudges you playfully, her energy contagious.

You chuckle, letting yourself relax. “I needed a break from all the doom and gloom. Figured I’d find the real party.”

Karlach throws an arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer to the firelight. “That’s the spirit! We fought hard. We lost some good people, but we’re still standing. Tonight, we live a little. Tomorrow, we fight again.”

The celebration grows more raucous as the night deepens. Tieflings and druids dance, their burdens momentarily forgotten. Karlach’s laughter is a constant, her stories growing more outrageous with each round of drink. She leans in, her voice dropping to a low, teasing tone. “You know, hero, there’s more ways to celebrate than just drinking and dancing.”

You meet her gaze, the heat between you unmistakable. “Oh? And what did you have in mind?”

She grins, her eyes smoldering. “Come on, let’s get out of here. I want to remember tonight for something other than just another victory.”

With a shared glance, you slip away from the firelight, the sounds of celebration fading behind you. The Grove is quiet beyond the clearing, moonlight filtering through the trees. Karlach’s demeanor softens, her bravado giving way to something more intimate.

She turns to you, her voice husky. “We survived. Let’s make the most of it.”
