I know exactly how my character would respond to Aradin here if I had full control of her dialogue. She'd just sigh and very bluntly remark: *"You're an idiot."* And then she'd give Aradin the most annoyed and disappointed look possible before she then went on to detail the very big difference in skill and achievements between the respective groups by saying something along the lines of: *"You got chased back to the Druid Grove with your tails between your legs by a bunch of goblins and then abandoned your contract to us with zero word about any sort of "cut" if we were to succeed where you failed. Us, on the other hand? We wiped out the entire goblin camp, dealt with their leaders, ventured through and survived the Underdark while battling Minotaurs, a Bullete, and a Spectator along the way. We made it through the shadow-cursed lands to kill the unkillable cleric of Myrkul responsible for that curse, thus cleansing the land of that curse. Freed the demigod daughter of Selune who has very little patience for spineless self-serving cowards like you. And that's just a brief summary.

Honestly kinda hilarious that he rolls up to your camp and tries that while LEVEL 3 Like mate you got your ass handed to you by the goblins, and you think it's gonna go well?
Its even funnier if you are playing as the dark urge on a resist playthrough. Yeah show up to the former chosen of the god of murder's front door. So at that point there are two demigods in that camp.
It might be scary if you were limping back to camp with 2 HP and no spells. You would have to run around until Aylin slaughtered them all herself, maybe do some long range attacks.

When he said: 'Leave the nightsong to me', I made sure not to touch a hair on his head with any of the playable characters, so I could say: Oh, you wanna fight Dame Aylin in a fair duel? Alrighty then. She's right there, bro; Go ahead. 1v1 her. I won't do anything to you and I won't heal, buff or otherwise lift a finger to help Dame Aylin in her fight against you. Let's see who comes out on top. Needless to say, she does. It was hilarious to watch. Like, bruh, how did you think this was gonna go? I literally just told you she's an immortal and powerful aasimar. Why the fuck would you say some dumb shit like: 'leave her to me.' Your narrow ass couldn't handle goblins, but you're gonna 1v1 the daughter of a powerful goddess?
Aradin: Don’t worry about the night song. Leave her to me. Also Aradin: *is literally the weakest person in his group.* Dude is saying shit like he can take on a demigod, when I’m not even confident he could beat the wizard in a fistfight.

Bro couldn't even handle a few goblins and he really thinks he can take on a damn angel? What happed to what he said before that gold is no good if you're too cold to spend it? Dude should have let it go.

Shadowheart: "Thank you so much.......oh, do you also have something that can get burnt skin out of carpets?"

Best part is this wouldn’t be the only time you ask for the maid services. Just a few nights later the vampire spawn are gonna come to play and that always tends to get messy
Imagine you’re a noob amateur Adventurer who ran away from a few low level goblins, begging to be let in the safety of the grove and then you decide to attack a literal immortal Angel and party of legendary, near demi-god Adventurers who slaughtered the entire goblin camp, killed the nigh-invincible Avatar of a God, defied the Goddess of Loss and almost single-handedly cleansed the Shadow-cursed lands. Yeah this guy is absolutely MENTAL if he even for a second thought he had any chance against them.
Levels and goblins aside. What makes him think that kidnapping a god’s immortal child is a good idea? It’d be clever to challenge her to a friendly spar and test his mettle to see if when’s worth kidnapping or not after. but bro literally walking up to people that’s a Durge equivalent and saying “nah, I’d win”
I do love how there's two of the exact same little plot movements in this game. You can bring Karlach to the paladins, and Aylin to Lorroakin. "Hey, I got what you wanted... Have fun."
Wait where is everyone else who joins your camp? Normally this late in the game, you have tons of other companions and allies in the camp who just dogpiles on them
In these kinds of night encounters you only have your current party and possibly the NPCs directly involved in the confrontation. The rest of your companions are mysteriously absent till morning.
If Gale was The God of Ambition Gale would've gotten so much power from the sheer audacity for Aradin, bitch who couldnt fight GOBLINS, and had to sneak attack the same teifling who let him in leading to another person's death.
The funny part is that I might've lied to him to protect him if he hadn't said that shit about how kidnapping costs more. My first playthrough was literally names "The Best Intentions". It was meant to be played as straight, pure good as possible, but even I couldn't help but let this man walk his stupid, happy ass straight into his own grave.
this is so goofy to me. the guy that was struggling to fight goblins and I have to save at the start of the game coming to my group like "heh, yeah. I can take them." when I have gotten to the point where I can cast power word "scrunch"
This is like Ichigo charging at Aizen thinking he can take him down and Aizen just stops his sword with one finger and completely wipes the floor with him in 1 second 😂
Ths game really needs enemy npcs that will surrender and beg for mercy or flee. No way those mercs would fight to the death after Aradin got smeared across the floor.
ah yes "leave the night song to me!" says the man who got his ass beat by goblins and he now suddenly thinks he can 1v1 a literal demi-goddess in full paladin plate and a divine sword. mans has the survival instincts of a moldy lemon
You know, You'd think he'd know not to mess with you when you slaughtered the entire goblin camp that he couldn't handle on his own, made it through the underdark, saved the nightsong, and revealed that said night song was infact an immortal demigod, when he couldnt even get past a few goblins. Then again, considering his actions in the grove, I'm genuinely surprised he made it as far as he did.
The only thing that would make this better is if you would actually get a option to tell him why he is stupid, something along the lines ''You, the one who ran from a group of goblins wants to challenge us, the ones who defeated the apostle of myrkul? And after that what? How do you inted to beat an Immortal Angel warrior?''
I love how they just barely tickle(and the only reason they got even close to killing someone is because 3 people in your party are casters), and Aylin just deliver'eth triple crits, and obliterates everyone :D
In my first playthrough I also met him, but avoided telling him anything. That guy was suspect to me from the beginning. But of course I lost the opportunity to get rid of a lot of the furniture ...
I don’t tell him and don’t tell her about it till after Lorrokins defeated. She loses Daughter of the Moonmaiden tag if she kills Lorrokin. Nicer to keep her out of it.
I was wondering why though, people noticed that she becomes an oathbreaker if she kills him, but he is a classic antagonist, but somehow selune doesn't approve🤔
@@trevorsreya8277 keep him for additional exp. If you say to him here you have a night song, he will later at night attack your camp bringing exp and mediocre loot. Funny thing is while his goons are more or less on the same level as you are himself is lvl 3, and that was a bold choice for the endgame
If you let him go then the other two crew members also die, and while Aradin may be terrible, I don't feel like the other two showed any signs of deserving death, especially since they don't show up to attack your camp when Aradin decides to in act 3.
I think my favorite part of this encounter is that he's still level 3, like the random people he found to help him are all level 8 and despite him starting in the same location we did (probably a higher level as well) he did not level up even once, and he's got such an ego thinking we did everything including "hiding" away from him specifically Its honestly so funny
Aradin thought process: “Oh no! Goblins! Better run away crying before I get hurt!” “You won’t get the night song, that’s a deathwish. You’re not going to get it.” “Oh, not only have you done the impossible, but you look like you’ve been through hell and back… PUT’EM UP BUSTER, IS TUSLING TIME!”
I'm guessing this happens if you long rest before talking to Lorrokan or something. I know he threatened to do it, but never saw him. I just assumed he was just all bravado, given he couldn't even face down goblins. Let alone complete the trials of Shar, or even to do anything worth while during chapter 2
One of the few times in my goody good Paladin playthrough were I straight up felt fine lying to someone. Not because I'd've felt bad merking Aradin, because not even a paladin can cure stupid, but because I legit felt like Aylin and Isobel didn't need dumbasses like this bothering them
Just started a new file and was so disappointed when Aradin didn’t “accidentally” die when the goblins first came to the Grove 😆 So now I’ve got something to look forward to 👀✨😈
I always feel bad for Aradin. People hate on him, but he saw most of his friends get brutally murdered by goblins. He has the right to be a little grumpy. 5,000 gold is basically nothing by act 3, I'd just give him the money if the option existed.
Makes me wonder why he was so desperate for the $ that he would do something as dumb as this. The real life equivalent is seeing a person with a Shotgun in full ballistic armor that you know some rich guy will pay 20,000$ for, and then seeing that same person guarded by Black Ops squadrons with a tank next to them. And deciding to attack them while you have a baseball bat after being asked not too.
it can be useful rarely imo. it doesn't even charm an enemy, it just makes them stop hitting the charmer. most of the time it doesn't really change anything, since they had their 1 attack already which caused the charm))
@@ZiggyWhiskerz that too! but even if it's success it is kinda useless or maybe i had way more expectations like to get a full control of the targeted enemy...
I killed him every time after he knocked out Zelver, I thought he was useless and took the two useful things he had. The night song quest and the experience. I've never seen this dialogue lol
Aradin: Looks like me an the boys are gonna just have to roll up and take the nightsong. Should be easy. My LV 9 monk/thief rogue multiclass: Imaginary Technique, 200+ damage.

I told him to go ahead and show up, because him versus an aasimar and a squad who'd taken down am avatar of a god was never going to end in his favor (I threw his corpse into the harbor)

I love how they just barely tickle(and the only reason they got even close to killing someone is because 3 people in your party are casters), and Aylin just deliver'eth triple crits, and obliterates everyone :D
In my first playthrough I also met him, but avoided telling him anything. That guy was suspect to me from the beginning.
But of course I lost the opportunity to get rid of a lot of the furniture ...
Btw his corpse stuck there instead, I threw it away manually. Aradin is the new furniture
Aradin showing up at my camp in the middle of the night and it’s NOT to bang???
This game 😤
@@zjjohnson3827 I was surprised how many fans he has lol
@@greetingsargonian he is both hot and pathetic
That’s a lot of peoples’ preferred type
I count myself among their number. He may be a weak ******* idiot jackass but he’s handsome and has a nice accent. There’s some potential there.
@@johnreineck4938 the heart wants what heart wants!
Wow I always killed the wizard immediately after. Didn’t think Aradin was dumb enough to come to the camp especially at level three. Buddy is a joke
That fire wall spell was ABSOLUTE-ly beautiful
I don’t tell him and don’t tell her about it till after Lorrokins defeated. She loses Daughter of the Moonmaiden tag if she kills Lorrokin. Nicer to keep her out of it.
I was wondering why though, people noticed that she becomes an oathbreaker if she kills him, but he is a classic antagonist, but somehow selune doesn't approve🤔
@@greetingsargonianConsidering Selune has a pretty strong vengeance streak like her twin sister, it doesn't make sense to me tbh.
@@rustyjones7908 yeah and also Lorroakan was the direct threat to Selune's daughter I don't get it either
For this scene alone, I had my character throw his sword and just punch Aradin in the face “For old time’s sake”
2:51 talking a lot of shit for someone within fireball distance and aoe.
I love Aradin, I would have liked if he could join the party as a ranger
@@adriel8498 idk I think he wants be a leader too much)
Really? That man is clearly an abject coward and would abandon you the moment you get into any straight fight.
That's so funny, I never even thought of telling him the truth
I was wondering if there was any reason to keep him alive in act 1. Apparently not.
@@trevorsreya8277 keep him for additional exp. If you say to him here you have a night song, he will later at night attack your camp bringing exp and mediocre loot. Funny thing is while his goons are more or less on the same level as you are himself is lvl 3, and that was a bold choice for the endgame
@@greetingsargonian I wanna think those higher level guys agreed to the job, and were fully planning on betraying him for a higher pay cut.
If you let him go then the other two crew members also die, and while Aradin may be terrible, I don't feel like the other two showed any signs of deserving death, especially since they don't show up to attack your camp when Aradin decides to in act 3.
I think my favorite part of this encounter is that he's still level 3, like the random people he found to help him are all level 8 and despite him starting in the same location we did (probably a higher level as well) he did not level up even once, and he's got such an ego thinking we did everything including "hiding" away from him specifically
Its honestly so funny
@@buttermanaws4693 Yeah every time I got this, he is level 3)) Even his goons are more high-level than he is
How do you go this camp?
It is a room in the inn, you can buy it or negotiate
lol the fact that he couldn’t handle a bunch of goblins and he tries to take on the camp us hilarious
Aradin thought process:
“Oh no! Goblins! Better run away crying before I get hurt!”
“You won’t get the night song, that’s a deathwish. You’re not going to get it.”
“Oh, not only have you done the impossible, but you look like you’ve been through hell and back… PUT’EM UP BUSTER, IS TUSLING TIME!”
Lvl 3 against Dame Aylin, main character. Very smart Aradin.
Running the party limit begone mod is going to make this fight HILARIOUS.
In my run he died in the battle he first apeared. Never knew how foolish he was.
I'm guessing this happens if you long rest before talking to Lorrokan or something. I know he threatened to do it, but never saw him. I just assumed he was just all bravado, given he couldn't even face down goblins. Let alone complete the trials of Shar, or even to do anything worth while during chapter 2
@@Diresilence I think he just waited til I cleared the way and just went to the city haha
A hasted Minthara, any proficent magical longsword, with a lvl in fighter for second wind, could solo those bums in 1 round lmao
I just tell him either she dead or I couldn't find anything. So I don't go through this stuff.
Key word: "tries".
I never got this combat but now I kind of wish I did. Next playthrough.
I love Aradin, I think his voice actor did an amazing job, but even I have to say that bro was NOT cooking
Me to Aradin: 'Do you understand how fucked you are?'
One of the few times in my goody good Paladin playthrough were I straight up felt fine lying to someone. Not because I'd've felt bad merking Aradin, because not even a paladin can cure stupid, but because I legit felt like Aylin and Isobel didn't need dumbasses like this bothering them
In my third playthrough, I wasted time (and reloaded twice) until Aradin died at the Grove gate. Felt good :)
I’ve never actually have him show up at my camp
I WAS SO SAD HE NEVER CAME TO MY CAMP!!! I was so ready for that scene i thought itd be hilarious. I wasn’t wrong lmao
I had just beaten Raphael in combat when he came to my camp. Then he comes in trying to be threatening. Good laugh.
Dude thought he could invade a camp full of level 10s as a level 3, and capture an immortal demigod…
how the hell are you doing 9 dammage on act 3
Shit happens
Really bad builds
his voice actor sounds so different compared to chapter 1 at least in my game
Just started a new file and was so disappointed when Aradin didn’t “accidentally” die when the goblins first came to the Grove 😆 So now I’ve got something to look forward to 👀✨😈
@@trinaangelm you will meet him again twice, you can get a night song contract from him in act 1 and then he is going to be here in act 3
I always feel bad for Aradin. People hate on him, but he saw most of his friends get brutally murdered by goblins. He has the right to be a little grumpy. 5,000 gold is basically nothing by act 3, I'd just give him the money if the option existed.
@@giga4052 well he did left some of his friends didn't he? And laughed about Liam being new and naive to think they will help him
I expected him to try something, but he never did on my playthrough. Didn’t know this was a thing.
Makes me wonder why he was so desperate for the $ that he would do something as dumb as this.
The real life equivalent is seeing a person with a Shotgun in full ballistic armor that you know some rich guy will pay 20,000$ for, and then seeing that same person guarded by Black Ops squadrons with a tank next to them. And deciding to attack them while you have a baseball bat after being asked not too.
The tadpole charm reaction almost never works. Ugh😅
it can be useful rarely imo. it doesn't even charm an enemy, it just makes them stop hitting the charmer. most of the time it doesn't really change anything, since they had their 1 attack already which caused the charm))
@greetingsargonian no I mean like 99% of the time enemies succeed their saving throws against it so it doesn't do anything at all. 😅
@@ZiggyWhiskerz that too! but even if it's success it is kinda useless or maybe i had way more expectations like to get a full control of the targeted enemy...
Aradin:
"I need the money from Lorroakan"
Me:
"Ever heard the saying: Money is useless on the Fugue Plane?"
I mean, who hasnt met the player that the GM has stressed getting into a fight with an Angel is a bad idea at level 3...
Why is there no option to hand over the Nightsong?
@@psychoticsy6350 you can give her to Lorroakan, but not to Aradin. At the end of the day he doesn't deserve the credit
I’ve seen him in front of Lorrakan’s in my playthroughs, but he’s never ambushed me at camp 🤔.
I killed him every time after he knocked out Zelver, I thought he was useless and took the two useful things he had. The night song quest and the experience. I've never seen this dialogue lol
what a cute little ankle biter with his 36 hp
I always kill Aradin in act 1 after this happened to me on my first honour mode run lol
Aradin: Looks like me an the boys are gonna just have to roll up and take the nightsong. Should be easy.

@@gilmadreth680 😆
I told him to go ahead and show up, because him versus an aasimar and a squad who'd taken down am avatar of a god was never going to end in his favor
(I threw his corpse into the harbor)
I wish Aradin got stronger as we progressed… I have no idea how he got to Baldurs Gate still level 3
@@Tenchigo100 probably waited til the shadow curse was lifted and I kill all the monsters lol
i didnt know u can reencounter them, im on my honor run and i just killed him at the bridge cause extra xp hehe
