Karlach can be encountered as part of [[Wyll|Wyll's]] story or by speaking to [[Anders]] in the [[Toll House]] in the quest [[Hunt the Devil]]. She can also simply be stumbled upon on [[The Risen Road]] (X:111, Y:506). Karlach is below the bridge of the Toll Road, near the stream. Here, she appears to be struggling to control herself, her body engulfed in flames.

Here, she appears to be struggling to control herself, her body engulfed in flames.


If Wyll or the Paladins were spoken to before Karlach, the party has a chance to question Karlach on her motives. She claims she is no devil, simply a victim of the Blood War who was involuntarily conscripted. The tadpole aids in proving her motives, showing Karlach desperate and afraid, hoping to escape to her home of Baldur's Gate.

Choosing to believe Karlach has her join the party. She asks for help - her former master, the archdevil [[Zariel]], sent a group of demons after her who are masquerading as Paladins of [[Tyr]]. They are holed up in the Toll House, recovering from wounds from their first confrontation with Karlach. Karlach asks that she be brought along to confront them. If Karlach is brought along, Anders is shocked and afraid. He says the paladins won't survive another assault and begs the party not to let her hurt them. An Insight check (DC 10) reveals there's a squint in his eyes that indicates he's lying. Using [[Detect Thoughts]] also reveals Anders serves Zariel. If Anders is simply called out on his lie, he quickly drops the act and reveals his true allegiance with Zariel, attacking the party. Once the battle is over, Karlach goes into a frenzy, destroying things and setting fire to the Toll House. Karlach explains she has an Infernal Engine for a heart that lets her burn as hot as the Hells. Unfortunately, it seems to be running in overdrive ever since she left [[Avernus]]. She says she needs to find a mechanic that can tune up her engine and that the paladins let slip that a tiefling infernal mechanic is in the area.
