Saving Arabella AGAIN (Minor Act 1/ Act 2 Spoilers!!)

[igor140]

In my first playthrough, I saved her, and then found her again in Act 2, followed her progression, and she's probably my favorite NPC in the game. Alfira is a close second.

For my second playthrough, I'm doing a chaotic evil Dark Urge, which obviously entailed siding with the goblins. I still wanted to save Arabella, but when I went down into the kids hideout to see if there way anything to loot (aside from their tiny bodies... really ****ing dark)... I saw Arabella's body among them.

Is there a way to save Arabella? I'd really like to run into later on as the Dark Urge... it seems a shame for her to die here : /

In a word: No.

If either
A) The grove gets sealed (too many long rests without stopping ritual)
B) you enter an act 2 area/mountain pass pathway to creche and the goblin vs grove dilemma autoresolves
C) You side with the goblins

All the tieflings and children are scripted to die. Either right outside the grove as in A, on the road to baldurs gate as in B or in the grove cave hideout in C.

The only way to save any of the tieflings is to kill the goblin leaders, one way or another.
