During the assault on the Emerald Grove by {{CharLink|Minthara}} and her raiding party, Arka is among the first line of defence atop the gate, alongside {{CharLink|Asharak}}, {{CharLink|Elegis}}, and {{CharLink|Zevlor}}.
The player character can find Arka in the Makeshift Prison aiming her crossbow at the goblin Sazza who is in the middle of taunting Arka, while Memnos is trying to talk his friend down. The player character can either stand back and watch the scene play out to its bloody end or intervene and stop the execution by stepping in front of the Crossbow and passing any of the following skillchecks:


*{{SkillCheck|Intimidation|10}}
If Arka dies during the assault but Memnos survives, he buries Arka next to Kanon's grave, telling her that Kanon will be waiting for her.{{ref|''"Rest well, Arka. I'm sure Kanon's waiting for you."'' - Memnos}} He also comments that she would not want anyone to mourn her.
*{{SkillCheck|Persuasion|10}} (Two separate rolls)
*{{SkillCheck|Detect Thoughts|12}}


If the [[Detect Thoughts]] roll fails, both Arka and Memnos gain the Temporarily Hostile status and initiate combat with the Players Party.
If Arka and Memnos survive, or if the goblins' leaders were killed, they both move to Kanon's grave, Arka saying that Kanon has been avenged, and Memnos mentioning that Kanon would be proud of Arka. After the tieflings leave for [[Baldur's Gate]], her body can be found alone near the bridge to the Blighted Village.


If the [[Intimidation]] or one of the [[Persuasion]] rolls fail, the player character is allowed to make another roll that they did not choose before. If that roll is also failed, both Arka and Memnos become hostile.

— Arka after defending against the goblin raid

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Act One[edit | edit source]

Arka is initially seen fighting on the Emerald Grove ramparts when the goblin party chase Aradin Beno Aradin, Barth Barth, and Remira Remira to the front gates of the Grove. Her brother, Kanon Kanon, is mortally shot by Goblin arrows while attempting to open the gate. After the conflict ends, she remains at her brother's corpse while her friend Memnos Memnos attempts to console her. Regardless of what the player character says or if they leave the area, Arka will grab a nearby crossbow and run toward the imprisoned goblin Sazza Sazza to enact vengeance.

The party can convince Arka to take or spare Sazza's life. If Arka does not take revenge on Sazza, she can be found mourning with Memnos near Kanon's grave after the defeat of the goblins in the Goblin Camp. If she kills Sazza, her body can be found at X: -44 Y: 408, just east of the Goblin Camp.

If travelling to the Rosymorn Monastery Trail or the Shadow-Cursed Lands before resolving Kagha Kagha's ritual, the Rite of Thorns, the tieflings are expelled from the Emerald Grove and Arka's corpse can be found among the pile of refugees near the bridge to the Blighted Village.

During the assault on the Emerald Grove by Minthara Minthara and her raiding party, Arka is among the first line of defence atop the gate, alongside Asharak Asharak, Elegis Elegis, and Zevlor Zevlor.

If Arka dies during the assault but Memnos survives, he buries Arka next to Kanon's grave, telling her that Kanon will be waiting for her.[1] He also comments that she would not want anyone to mourn her.

If Arka and Memnos survive, or if the goblins' leaders were killed, they both move to Kanon's grave, Arka saying that Kanon has been avenged, and Memnos mentioning that Kanon would be proud of Arka. After the tieflings leave for Baldur's Gate, her body can be found alone near the bridge to the Blighted Village.
