Involvement[edit | edit source]

Act 1[edit | edit source]

If Aradin Beno Aradin Beno and his crew leave Emerald Grove, Meli can be found in the Tiefling Hideout X: 87 Y: 71, practicing pickpocketing on a dummy.

Pickpocketing Barth[edit | edit source]

Main article: Return the Locket

If Aradin's crew stays for a drink, Meli will spawn at The Hollow X: 174 Y: 544 pretending to look at things in an open crate while the crew heads to a nearby table. The party can watch Meli steal a Brass Locket from Barth Barth's pocket and run up the ladder where Barth will catch him. Initiating conversation with either one will allow the choice to intervene and protect Meli, convince him to return the locket, or let Barth do what he wants.

There are four options:

  • Protecting Meli, "Don't lay a finger on that child." ( DC 10 Persuasion check or DC 10 Intimidation check) and he will run off with the locket.
  • Convincing Meli to return the locket ( DC 5 Persuasion check or DC 15 Intimidation check) and he might be persuaded to reveal that he stole the locket because it reminded him of his mother's.
  • Letting Barth strike Meli, the locket will fall out of his pocket, and the nearby guard Ikaron Ikaron will come over to investigate the disturbance.
  • If already having pickpocketed the locket from Meli, it is possible to return it to Barth. He's good, but I'm better. This will impress Meli and placate Barth.

After the encounter, Meli will run to the Tiefling Hideout where he can be found near the practice dummy and Barth will return to his crew at the table below in The Hollow. If speaking with Barth afterward, he may reveal that the locket was given to him by his mother while she was on her deathbed. If having allowed Meli to take the locket, it can later be recovered from the Tiefling Hideout and returned to Barth. He will then tell a backstory about the locket and its importance to him.
