— Cal, arguing with his siblings

Background[edit section | visual editor]

Cal, Lia, and Rolan grew up together. While Cal and Lia are biological siblings, all three of them maintain a sibling relationship with each other. Out of the trio, Cal has the calmest temper, often serving as a mediator between the two.

Involvement[edit section | visual editor]

Act One[edit section | visual editor]

Cal can be found in the The Hollow of the Emerald Grove, arguing with Lia Lia, and Rolan Rolan on whether they should remain to help the tiefling refugees or leave. While Cal attempts to mediate, Lia fervently believes they should stay and help the tiefling refugees, while Rolan thinks they should leave. The party can convince them to leave or stay:[1]

Convince to stay[edit section | visual editor]

The following options convince the trio to stay:

  • [PERSUASION] You should all stay. A single blade could make a difference. (DC 10)
  • [DRAGONBORN] Clan is everything. You don't abandon those you swore to protect.
  • [TIEFLING] Have you forgotten Elturel? We should stand by our people - no one else will.
  • [BARBARIAN] Only cowards run from a fight.
  • [RANGER] I'd choose the wilderness over the dangers of a city any day. Stay.
  • [MONK] To leave is a heavy choice - it will weigh on whatever path you walk next.
  • [PALADIN] 'Where the weak have need, the strong have a duty'. Stay.

Convince to leave[edit section | visual editor]

The following options convince the trio to leave.

  • Get out while you can - the goblins will be back.
  • [GITHYANKI] If they cannot fight, they will die. That is as it should be.
  • [EVIL CLERIC] Why die for those who can't defend themselves?

All other options, or deciding not to interact with them causes them to leave on their own as well.

Camp celebration[edit section | visual editor]

If the goblin leaders are killed, Cal takes part in the festivities at the party's Camp alongside Lia and Rolan.

Act Two[edit section | visual editor]

If the trio are convinced to stay behind to help, and all three survive Act One, they are split apart in Act Two. When the tiefling refugees are ambushed, Cal and Lia are abducted by cultists and held captive in Moonrise Towers Prison. The remaining tieflings at the Last Light Inn then ask the party to Rescue the Tieflings⁠Rescue the Tieflings.

If not freed from Moonrise Towers before dealing with the Nightsong Nightsong, his corpse can be found in the Oubliette with those of all the other prisoners.[2]

Cal does not appear in Act Two if the trio are not convinced to stay.

Act Three[edit section | visual editor]

If Cal survives Act Two and Rolan chooses to side with the party against Lorroakan Lorroakan, he appears in Sorcerous Sundries together with Lia, one long rest after Lorroakan's death.

Idle banter[edit section | visual editor]

Cal attempts to calm Lia and Rolan as they argue about whether to stay in the Grove during Act One:

  • Rolan
    We don't even know these people!
  • Lia
    That doesn't matter.
  • Rolan
    Of course it does. You would choose strangers over us!
  • Lia
    That's not what I said.
  • Cal
    Can we stop shouting? No?
  • Cal
    Calm down! Please.
  • Lia
    I won't leave them behind!
  • Rolan
    You're going to get us killed!

If Cal, Lia, and Rolan stay in the Grove:

  • Cal
    Don't be grumpy, Rolan. We'll get to the city soon.
  • Rolan
    I am not grumpy.
  • Cal
    The scowl on your face would frighten a troll.
  • Rolan
    Heh. You're an idiot.
  • Cal
    How long until Rolan shows off his Thunderwave?
  • Lia
    Depends. How many people are dumb enough to ask?
  • Cal
    Hah! True.

If Cal, Lia, and Rolan do not stay in the Grove:

  • Cal
    How long will it take to get to Baldur's Gate?
  • Rolan
    Depends. How often are you going to ask that?
  • Cal
    Hey, sis. How long will it take to get to Baldur's Gate?
  • Lia
    *Sigh.*
  • Rolan
    We should add the Elfsong Tavern to the list.
  • Lia
    So long as you're paying.
  • Cal
    Drinks on Rolan? Count me in.
  • Rolan
    I swear, I've never met such a pair of cheapskates.

Notes[edit section | visual editor]
