After talking to Andres, you will have to find the Devil. She is injured and resting near the riverside not far from Andres location. After reaching there there will be some dialogue options. Pick up the below choice to befriend her.
- Yes, I am – the people who are hunting you sent me.
- They told me you’d slaughtered innocent families.
- You were in hell? So was I, not long ago.
After this conversation, you will realize that the Devil is also infected with the parasite. This will generate some trust between you and her.
- It wasn’t me – it was the parasite from the mind flayer ship.
- I didn’t see you aboard. Where were you?
- You were expecting the ship?
- What makes you so important to them?
- So you want me to kill the people hunting you?
- What do I get in return?
As you agree to do this task, the Devil will become your companion. You will have to fight Andres and his guards. Siding with the Devil is a wise choice because you are getting a powerful crew member. Karlachk is strong and can be counted as a valuable party member.
In the end, it is your choice whom to spare. If you investigate corpses in the area you will find that Paladins are cruel and are the real devils. For good you can pick the Devil’s side, fight Andres, and add her to your crew.
