Rolan is an aspiring wizard at the Emerald Grove in Act One. He is bound for Baldur's Gate with his two siblings, where a prestigious apprenticeship awaits.
“My Thunderwave will make quick work of any goblin - just you wait.„
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Act One[edit | edit source]
Rolan can be found in the Emerald Grove arguing with Cal and Lia on whether they should remain in the Grove to help the tiefling refugees or leave. Rolan believes that they have no allegiance nor responsibility toward the refugees and should leave for Baldur's Gate for their own safety. Lia fervently argues that they should help the refugees because it is the right thing to do. She accuses him of being selfish, only caring about his apprenticeship to Lorroakan at Baldur's Gate. The party can convince them to stay in the Grove or leave.
If Rolan survives 
, he attends the Campsite celebration and performs a magic show for Cal and Lia. If Rolan, Cal, and Lia decide to leave the Grove, he dies alongside his siblings and other tieflings near the bridge to the Blighted Village.
Act Two[edit | edit source]
If Rolan stays at the grove and survives Act One, he can be found drowning his sorrows in alcohol at the Last Light Inn. He angrily tells the party that his siblings were taken to the Moonrise Towers as prisoners while he was defending the children of the tiefling refugees during an attack of The Cult of the Absolute. He is angry with the party because of his perception that they are the reason his siblings were in danger and insists on going to find them himself. He leaves for saving his siblings after fast travelling or long resting.
He can be found (and saved) on his rescue mission at the Ruined Battlefield, on the eastern shore of the river, south of the bridge that leads to the Reithwin Tollhouse at X: -54 Y: -111, about to be attacked by Shadows. If not saved before long resting, Rolan is afflicted by the Shadow Curse and dies.
Saving Lia and Cal before finding Rolan at the Last Light Inn results in him already being gone on his futile rescue mission by the time the party members arrive at the Inn.
Speaking to Rolan at the Inn, then saving Lia and Cal before running into him at the battlefield, might cause Rolan to die and to be afflicted by the Shadow Curse.
If Rolan is not persuaded into staying at the Grove, he and his siblings do not appear in Act Two; and his absence results in the deaths of many tiefling refugees during the Absolutist attack.
Act Three[edit | edit source]
If Rolan survives Act Two or leaves the Grove during Act One, he can be found at the front desk of Sorcerous Sundries in place of Lorroakan's Projection, although his behavior is stiff and the narration notes that something seems wrong.
During the conclusion of , whether Rolan sides with or against his master upon hearing his plans for Dame Aylin depends on several factors:
- If both his siblings survive Act Two, he sides automatically against Lorroakan.
- If only one of them survives Act Two, Rolan requires either a
DC 20 Intimidation check, DC 18 Persuasion check, or DC 15 Arcana check. - If neither of them are saved, he sides with Lorroakan; though he can also side with Lorroakan if his siblings were saved before the party first visits Last Light Inn. This outcome also automatically happens whenever Rolan is not persuaded into staying at the grove during Act One, implying they did not survive the journey.
After the battle, if Rolan sided against Lorroakan he resolves to master the tower's secrets on his own and pledges its resources to aid in the final battle, cursing Lorroakan as a bastard and confessing to suffering daily abuse from the man. Rolan then becomes an ally for .
If Rolan dies during the battle with Lorroakan, 
can be used to learn a little more of his background, including that he is not biologically related to Cal and Lia.
Companion approval[edit | edit source]
