If you use speak with dead on him, he wanted the gold to "buy peace" (probably retire?) and he find him in act 3, he sadly hoped you didn't lose your mates as much as he did.

It's when you don't properly defuse his encounter with Zevlor. If he punches out Zevlor, or if you punch him out first, he and his goons leave and post up outside the Blighted Village like this.
Funny to refuse a prayer when you live in a world where there is a concrete proof gods exist, and can literally talk to you and they do hear prayers. Like, I get being against worshiping gods for your own reasons, but Aradin is just being edgy
Has anyone else noticed that one of the dead adventurers is a member of Aradin's crew. Providing that's if he survived the battle with the goblins and you get this cutscene.

Either fail to diffuse the argument between him and Zevlor or have your tav punch in him in the dialogue. Afterwards, they'll run off, and you will have this conversation when you get to the Blighted Village. Alternatively, you could diffuse the argument between him and Zevlor, but don't talk to him in the Grove, and he'll sometimes appear here as well. Emphasis on the sometimes.
If youre a cleric of Kelemvor, the god of death, he actually is ok with you praying for his mates.
Ayo? Crazy. Is there a line afterwards?
He also likes it if you’re a follower of Tempus.
Kelemvor is the False God of Death.

A better question is, how in the Nine Hells did he survive the way back to Baldur's Gate?!

Cleric have a toooooon of options depending of their gods
I was modding some unused content the other day, he got offended when my cleric of Bane did the prayer.
Cleric of Talos dialogue is hilarious.
And yet so few. No reaction from Wyll for playing a cleric of Tiamat despite being featured in his backstory.

Or if you don't talk to him at the Grove he sometimes appears here but not always for some reason.
He's an asshole but I feel a weird sort of empathy for him, especially right here
I mean, the day you met him was basically the worst day of his life
@@comicstrider4851 Just like Laezel.
Doesnt excuse racism

At that point he might be too grief stricken to react logically.
In Forgotten Realms the gods exist, yet people gets killed (or worse) a lot. The first fact doesn't change the second one.
Welcome to fantasy atheism, it pretty much never makes sense and is usually an excuse for the writer/player to be edgy for the sake of it
@@ThrashTillDeth85Nah, Aradin likes if you worship Tempest (whatever his name is) or Kelemvor
Tyr and Helm as well

I am on my first playthrough, and I just intimidated him and Zevlor to back off and remain at the grove while I did all the work.

Aradin who? 3 play throughs and all that has ever been on that bridge for me is corpses. Love this game.
Actually, if you're a cleric of Tempus, aside from saying it was a cool prayer, he even considers worshipping this deity.

Hes super racist
@@eloijones882 so is Astarion but people are fine when he commits hate crimes
@@eloijones882 grrr nothing worse than racism in a game grrrrr
Regardless, he's still a piece of sh*t
@marinawilson3337 Eh, only real racist thing I can think Astarion says if when he meets the Gur in act 1, but that's about it.
If you're a drow hes surprisingly nice in his tone. Not NICE, mind, just comparatively nicer
What's the point of sharing a unique interaction if you're going to rush through the tiny bit of unique content?
How do you trigger this interaction?
I never see Aradin or any of his group outside of the Emerald Grove.

Wait, how does this happen? They never leave the grove
if you stay neutral with his fight against Zevlor, he and his friends will exit the grove after the confrontation.
If he gets punched he leaves
@@c4ndy4pple88 If Zevlor gets punched he also leaves, IIRC
Had the same conversation with a druid.
Wait how do you get this dialogue?
He sounds like rob stark....is that him doing the va?
No
How do you meet him on the road?
Fail your charisma check to calm him and Zevlor down when you first enter the grove. You get to see one of them punch the other too, which is fun
@@zylo4029 Thanks
I've never spoken to him on this part bec I always unalive them here for exp. lol
ew
Based XPmaxxing grindset
He so annoying
How can you have this interaction? I always meet him for the first time when he comes to the Grove asking for help and the goblins are chasing him.
Either fail to diffuse the argument between him and Zevlor or have your tav punch in him in the dialogue.
