Involvement

Act One

Cal can be found at the Emerald Grove can be found arguing in The Hollow arguing with Rolan and Lia on whether they should remain in the Grove to help the Tiefling Refugees or leave. While Cal attempts to mediate, Lia believes they should stay and help the tiefling refugees, but Rolan thinks they should leave. The party can convince them to leave or stay.

Act Two

Even if the trio were convinced to stay behind to help, and all three survived Act One, they will end up split in Act Two. When the tiefling refugees are ambushed, Cal and Lia are abducted by cultists and held captive in Moonrise Towers Prison. The remaining tieflings at the Last Light Inn will ask the party to  Rescue the Tieflings.

Cal does not appear in Act Two if the trio were not convinced to stay.

Idle banter

Cal attempts to calm Lia and Rolan as they argue about whether to stay in the Grove during Act One:

• Rolan: We don't even know these people!
  • Lia: That doesn't matter.
    • Rolan: Of course it does. You would choose strangers over us!
      • Lia: That's not what I said.
        • Cal: Can we stop shouting? No?

• Cal: Calm down! Please.
  • Lia: I won't leave them behind!
    • Rolan: You're going to get us killed!

If Cal, Lia, and Rolan stay in the Grove:

• Cal: Don't be grumpy, Rolan. We'll get to the city soon.
  • Rolan: I am not grumpy.
    • Cal: The scowl on your face would frighten a troll.
      • Rolan: Heh. You're an idiot.

• Cal: How long until Rolan shows off his Thunderwave?
  • Lia: Depends. How many people are dumb enough to ask?
    • Cal: Hah! True.

If Cal, Lia, and Rolan do not stay in the Grove:

• Cal: How long will it take to get to Baldur's Gate?
  • Rolan: Depends. How often are you going to ask that?
    • Cal: Hey, sis. How long will it take to get to Baldur's Gate?
      • Lia: *Sigh.*

• Rolan: We should add the Elfsong Tavern to the list.
  • Lia: So long as you're paying.
    • Cal: Drinks on Rolan? Count me in.
      • Rolan: I swear, I've never met such a pair of cheapskates.
