Ten facts about the tiefling refugees that you may not know, from the dialogue files (as of Patch 7)

Arabella is nine years old, per Zevlor if she dies. (Edit: Per Arabella's own speak with dead, she's nine and a half. As anyone who has dealt w kids knows, that half MATTERS!)

Danis and Bex want to name their cat Geoffrey, per a dialogue with a Githyanki Tav (who may get cats and gnomes confused)

Okta (the cook) has unique dialogue if you steal her cauldron.

Speaking of: Ikaron is Okta's son (in files for the goblin attack, the pair are referred to as "ChefAndSon" respectively)

Doni (the grunting kid) does not have a single line of traditional dialogue - but DOES have a line with Detect Thoughts ("Got to keep watch... but it's so bright and noisy here. Want to be back in the hideout")

If Cal and Rolan both die but Lia survives in Act 2, there are no fewer than four dialogue lines, ambients, or devnotes suggesting Lia plans to imminently kill herself. Despite arguing with her siblings the loudest, she is the one who takes losing the others hardest - even moreso than Rolan. Rolan endures to Lorroakan but goes bad, while Cal just...shuts down. But Lia plans to walk off into the shadows and let them claim her. She does not appear in Act 3 in this scenario. (See also: Why Rolan, Cal, and Lia won't truly have their happy ending unless they split up post-game)

Zorru survives to Act 3 by having escaped AFTER being captured alongside Lia/Cal/Danis/Lakrissa. Given this means he survived the Absolute's forces AND the Shadow Curse (unprotected) AND the Githyanki, this makes Zorru just about the luckiest low level NPC in the game

Alfira, a tiefling bard of at least moderate skill and knowledge, knows next to no songs or stories featuring tiefling heroes, just ones with tiefling villains, in Act 1. (A good reason to convince her to write a song about tieflings at the party!)

During the Goblin Battle, Memnos prays to no fewer than four gods - in order, Torm (for courage), Helm (protection), Tymora (Good fortune), and Kelemvor (for mercy, as god of the dead)

The devnote for the famous 'Don't be greedy' line is 'Slight smile - half joking'. Yes, dear reader, Rolan is flirting with you or teasing you just a tiny little bit.

"It's just one bonus comic!" I say, "how many panels could it be, 4?"

I gotta stop lying to myself and pretending I'm capable of doing short follow up comics lmao. There'll be a part 3 to this eventually, it just won't be quite as quick as this one was

Part 1 • Next Part

CRIMSON THUNDER comic - Protection

Oh, if they finally meet, and as you can see, I made some slight changes. Everything is falling into place. ✧٩(•́⌄•́๑)و✧

I like to believe that Rolan has those moments of genuine concern.

The three tiefling siblings: Lia, Rolan and baby Cal

Some headcanons I have about them:

Lia is the middle one and Cal the baby brother. We have no confirmation of their ages but Cal seems to be very innocent to me, so he's the youngest lol.

We know that canonically Rolan isn't blood while Cal and Lia are. I hc that Rolan sort of was found by Cal and Lia's mom and was adopted by her. He never called her "mom" while she was still alive, more like "miss _____".

Their mom was busy working a lot of hours so Rolan took care of the siblings: he cooked for them, bathed them, etc. Yes, I'm diagnosing Rolan with Elder Sister Syndrome 🫵

Mom died when Rolan wasn't even of age, like at 16 or 17. Rolan probably had to do some odd jobs since he was 14 to support the family but by the time she passed away, he had to find a more sustantial job.
