Lakrissa

Lakrissa is one of the tiefling refugees seeking shelter at the Emerald Grove in Act One.

We're tougher than we look. We've survived persecution. Survived Avernus.

— Lakrissa on her fellow refugees

Involvement

Act One

Lakrissa usually guards one of the secret entrances into the sanctuary above the Secluded Chamber, in the Grove.

If the party speak with her, Lakrissa responds with a sarcastic-pessimist attitude, saying their chances of survival are low. If the interacting party member obliges her, they can bet 10 Gold on whether they survive the trip to Baldur's Gate.

If Lakrissa survives after the goblin leaders are killed, she attends the celebration and converses with  Alfira. Lakrissa assures the player character that she has not forgotten of their bet (if they made one), but reminds them her people have not reached the city yet. The player character can then tell her to forget the bet and invite Lakrissa and Alfira to a drink instead, once they reach the city.

If the party travel to the Rosymorn Monastery Trail or the Shadow-Cursed Lands before resolving  Kagha's ritual the Rite of Thorns, the tieflings are expelled from the Grove and Lakrissa's corpse is among the pile of refugees near the bridge to the Blighted Village.

Act Two

If Lakrissa survives Act one she is later captured and moved to Moonrise Towers Prison with several other tieflings. Rescuing them from the prison advances ⁠Rescue the Tieflings. If Alfira also survives Act One, reuniting them confirms they are romantically involved, and Alfira rewards the party with the  Potent Robe.

If Lakrissa is not freed from Moonrise Towers before the  Nightsong is dealt with, or if the party visiting the Last Light Inn after releasing the prisoners but before Lakrissa makes it safely to the inn, then her corpse is in the Oubliette, together with those of all the other prisoners.

Act Three

If Lakrissa survives to Act Three, she moves to the Elfsong Tavern where she waits tables. If the party bet her in Act One, party members with the  Folk Hero background are granted the inspiration ⁠A Bet Is a Bet. If Alfira also survives, the two of them are on the roof and where they share news of their relationship with the party.

Idle banter

Act One

If the Grove prepare for a goblin raid during Act One, Lakrissa and Kaldani attempt to build a barricade together:

• Lakrissa

  Right. Should hold together.

• Kaldani

  Should?

• Lakrissa

  Well. We won't be long finding out, I suppose.

• Lakrissa

  Goblins better bloody show up, after all this effort we're putting in.

• Kaldani

  Yup. Murderous is one thing, but late? Beshaba pass over.

• Lakrissa

  You think it'll make any difference?

• Kaldani

  What?

• Lakrissa

  All this. Getting ready, like.

• Kaldani

  I... I don't know.

If the Grove prepare for a goblin raid during Act One, Lakrissa and Rikka visit Dammon for supplies:

• Rikka

  I do need some armour, you know.

• Lakrissa

  Me too.

• Dammon

  Can't outfit all of you at once.

• Dammon

  Anything else?

• Lakrissa

  Yes. A stiff drink.

• Rikka

  Make that two.

• Rikka

  I'm worried. I don't think we're ready.

• Lakrissa

  Ready as we'll ever be.

• Dammon

  Lakrissa's right. Can only do what we can.

Act Three

• Alfira

  How's your shift going?

• Lakrissa

  A rich arsehole sent his drink back three times - so I spat in his last one.

• Alfira

  Lakrissa!

• Lakrissa

  He said it was 'delicious'.

• Alfira

  Rent is due soon. I was thinking I could do some busking?

• Lakrissa

  No need, I picked up some extra shifts.

• Alfira

  You didn't have to do that.

• Lakrissa

  I know - I wanted to. You just focus on your music.

• Alfira

  We made it, Lakrissa.

• Lakrissa

  Damn right - and not even pissy druids or cursed shadows could stop us.

• Alfira

  Only because I had you.

• Lakrissa

  Nah - you'd have been fine without me. But the company was welcome.

Notes

• Lakrissa sells camp supplies, but is not marked as a trader on the map. In Act One she can only be traded with the first time she is spoken with. In Act Three she can be traded with normally.
