** If Wyll is brought along for the first meeting with Karlach, the two will confront each other. Wyll reveals that Karlach is the quarry he's been hunting for his patron, while Karlach claims to be a victim, not an agent of Zariel. Either of the parties can be sided with, though siding with Wyll results in battle with Karlach. The situation can also be defused by convincing Wyll that Karlach's words are true, as backed by the vision everyone shares during the dialogue thanks to their tadpoles. | ** If Wyll is brought along for the first meeting with Karlach, the two will confront each other.

Karlach has a very strong sense of right and wrong. She enjoys helping innocent people with their troubles and not expecting anything in return, something she finds in common with Wyll after their rocky first meeting. She approves of kind interactions with those in need, standing up for what's right, and being decisive with enemies. Setting her up for some fun, such as carousing or making some mayhem, also earns her approval, and being a compassionate friend to her, or a kind partner, is the easiest way of earning her trust and love. | Karlach has a very strong sense of right and wrong.

Dealing favourably with villains doesn't sit well with her, and siding with {{CharLink|Enver Gortash|Gortash}}, even if strategically sound, earns her disdain. Minimising her problems, especially that of her malfunctioning mechanical heart, is another sure way of earning her contempt. | ||
