Involvement

Farlin can be encountered on the Western Beach west of the South Span Checkpoint in Wyrm's Crossing during Act Three at X: -212 Y: Y:87. She and a group of Guild members are arguing with the  Stone Lord's crew lead by  Caïros near a docked ship from Moonrise Towers, accessible by taking the western path between the South Span Checkpoint and Open Hand Temple.

Upon approaching the two groups, Farlin asks for help fighting the Stone Lord's men, promising that the Guild will pay. If agreeing to help, the Guild joins the party in a fight against the Stone Lord's men. Doing so grants the inspiration ⁠Stacking the Deck for party members with the  Criminal background.

If declining to assist, appealing to Cairos, or preventing either side from fighting, both groups turn hostile. The party can also wait nearby for the fight to begin, join in, or wait for it to end.

If siding with Farlin, she puts in a good word for them with  Tusgront who guards the entrance to the Guild. He then lets the party inside the Guildhall without requiring a dialogue check.

If Caïros' side wins the fight and the party kill them afterwards, party members with the  Criminal background gain the inspiration ⁠Easy Pickings.

Speak with Dead

If Farlin is killed, she can be spoken to using  Speak with Dead. She explains that she was sent from the Guild to seize the Stone Lord's haul for  Nine-Fingers Keene, though she did not know what it was besides being a valuable item.
