Alfira: Difference between revisions

The party can find Alfira on the hill overlooking the druidic shrine circle at the [[Emerald Grove]]. She is frustrated over not being able to compose a song for her recently deceased teacher, Lihala, and can help by inspiring her.

If one party member offers their aid by by performing together, they receive Lihala's lute and have to play it. The party member can attempt to play along with her:

Succeeding both checks (one failure allows a retry) helps Alfira make significant progress in composing her song, and the party member, who helped her, gains {{WeaponType|Musical Instruments}} proficiency, if they did not have it already. [[Bard]]s are not required to make any ability checks to help her.

If the party member offers their aid by encouraging Alfira with words, she becomes inspired and a cutscene plays where she performs her near-finished song for the party. Doing this will not reward the musical instrument proficiency however.

After helping her in either way, she titles her song ''The Weeping Dawn'' and confesses in tears that she was there with her teacher when they were ambushed by [[Gnoll|gnolls]], who killed Lihala, and was just trying to create a worthy eulogy for her. The party can also gain the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|24px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''A Bard's Muse''' ([[Entertainer]] background). Alfira remains in this location giving her song the finishing touches and singing it periodically.

If she is alive after the party returns from the [[Goblin Camp]], she is with the other tieflings getting ready to leave for the [[Campsite]]. At the celebration, she can be found talking with {{CharLink|Lakrissa}}, and offers the player character to compose a song about them and their deeds.

After the party, she left with the other tieflings an can be met later in [[Act Two]].

If not wanting to help her, the party can either leave, convince her to give up, insult her, or steal / destroy her lute with the following options:

If the {{CharLink|The Dark Urge|The Dark Urge}} is chosen as [[Origin]], Alfira visits their camp shortly after crossing the bridge to the [[Blighted Village]], whether the party has interacted with her or not. Whether the party allows her to spend the night at camp or not, the player character wakes up to find her disemboweled by their own hands. They can decide whether to hide the evidence or not, or whether to embrace their handiwork or be horrified by it.

To keep Alfira alive, she must be {{SAI|Toggle Non-Lethal Attacks|knocked out}} in the Emerald Grove before taking the long rest that triggers her visit. If Alfira is already dead, knocked out, or otherwise unavailable at this time, she is replaced by a [[Dragonborn|dragonborn]] [[Bard|bard]] named {{CharLink|Quil}}.

This event can be delayed by other events, for example if Karlach is recruited before Wyll then his arrival takes precedence as the camp event that night and Quil instead arrives the next night, so it might be necessary to knock out Alfira multiple times.

When the long rest is completed and Alfira is still alive, she can be found at the place where she was knocked out and can be met later at the camp celebration. After that she can be encountered in [[Act Two]], where she can award the party with the {{SmRarityItem|Potent Robe}}. Otherwise, if Alfira is killed the party cannot acquire the Potent Robe.
