Caïros

Caïros is the envoy of the Stone Lord, found in the middle of an argument with the Guild on the Western Beach in Rivington during Act Three.

Involvement

Caïros can be encountered arguing with Farlin on a beach, accessed by following the path west of South Span Checkpoint to a area with a ship that sailed from Moonrise Towers at X: -212 Y: 87.

Conflict between these two is inevitable, although the party can decide whether or not to get involved. If approached, the party are drawn into the conversation. Farlin explains that she is from the Guild, and asks the party for help. If opting to help Caïros, he insults them and both parties turn hostile. If trying to assist with a peaceful understanding, Caïros and Farlin turn hostile, and if waiting too long to intervene, the two begin fighting on their own.

If Minsc is brought along, he can try to explain that he is the Stone Lord, but Caïros does not believe him.

If Caïros' side wins the fight and the party kill them afterwards, party members with the  Criminal background gain the inspiration  Easy Pickings.
