When found, Karlach explains that she too was on the nautiloid and was infected with a tadpole, but that she's not the monster she seems, and that her current priority is to get rid of the paladins hounding her and spreading lies. At odds with what the paladins, or Wyll, told the party about her, the group can press her further. Karlach explains that she escaped [[Avernus]] and the archdevil [[Zariel]], and that the paladins in the toll-house are nothing more than bloodhounds sent to bring her back to the [[Nine Hells|Hells]]. If Wyll was brought along, he confirms she's indeed his target and attempts to convince the party to aid him in slaying her. Karlach pleads that she's no agent of Zariel but rather her victim, and that she took the first opportunity she had to escape Avernus and return home. The tadpoles infecting the group will react to this, prompting Karlach to share her memories of recents events, seemingly confirming her story. Regardless, the party can decide to side with Wyll, and indirectly with the paladins, and kill Karlach claiming her head, or take her for her word and agree to spare her. Though initially intent on killing her, Wyll can be convinced to spare her after the visions were shared, and he will direct his anger at his patron for deceiving him. | When found, Karlach explains that she too was on the nautiloid and was infected with a tadpole, but that she's not the monster she seems, and that her current priority is to get rid of the paladins hounding her and spreading lies.

If Karlach was recruited before Wyll, he will arrive at camp during a [[Long Rest]] to kill his quarry. In this scenario, the party can still side with Wyll and kill Karlach, or convince him to stand down and join the party. Alternatively, | If Karlach was recruited before Wyll, he will arrive at camp during a [[Long Rest]] to kill his quarry. In this scenario, the party can still side with Wyll and kill Karlach, or convince him to stand down and join the party. Alternatively, they can instead decide to challenge Wyll to a fight. Karlach will try to stop this, as she does not want Wyll dead. The party can still recruit Wyll as normal, or choose to go against Karlach’s wishes and attack Wyll anyway, much to her [[Approval|contempt]]. If Wyll died in this instance, Karlach will mention that someone likely misguided him. | ||
Bringing Karlach to the paladins leads to a confrontation where Anders eventually drops the act and confirms her words as true: the paladins are servants of Zariel, and the archdevil wants her favorite attack dog back. After slaying them, a frenzied Karlach rages around the toll-house, setting it ablaze. When talking to her after she cools off, she confesses that she has an infernal engine for a heart that allows her to burn as hot as the Hells, though it's been running overdrive since leaving Avernus. She wants to find someone who has experience with infernal machines, and that she heard one of the paladins let slip that one is in the area. This begins {{Quest|The Hellion's Heart}}. | Bringing Karlach to the paladins leads to a confrontation where Anders eventually drops the act and confirms her words as true: the paladins are servants of Zariel, and the archdevil wants her favorite attack dog back.
