However, it doesn’t matter where you are abducted from. You are tadpoled directly above Yartar and then the Nautiloid is immediately attacked. Very little time passes between having the tadpole placed and entering Avernus. Just a few minutes.
For Karlach? Yeah i think it does ...
Bcs if she will be Origin character, and if she get the same cinematic start as we do (wich seems likely, they would hardly create special one just for single character) ... it means she was tadpoled before ... even tho just minutes, but still before ... the ship was even near her!!!
As for out Tavs ...
Well, thats less important, but still it would be nice to know in order to feel in your character.
But leaving it open is fine too i gues ... at least we can imagine whatever we want.

Just to throw in another thought, the dead fisherman on the beach mentions survivors from the crash. A beautiful woman that people couldn't look away from, and an elf.
I dont remember any of that ...
But if i had to guess, i would bet Mizora and Astarion prehaps?
Im quite certain Z'rell and Ketheric was not there ...
For one, such powerfull characters would hardly go unnoticed by full scale battle across whole ship ... and for two, it dont add up ... i mean, if they started in same place as we did, how did they become Chosen of The Absolute allready?
And we cant invite fifth person to travel with us ...
Some things are just game limitation, and therefore shouldnt be mentioned by story ... or at least keep them down.

My theory was that the beautiful woman was a mental illusionc created by the mindflayer in order to lure people to it.
Just have to say, this is fascinating idea ... love it! :3
The Githyanki followed the nautiloid into Avernus because killing Illithids is what they do. From my understanding, killing them is priority one over everything else, so following the ship wherever it might go for that purpose makes perfect sense to me. Though it's also implied the artefact is partof the reason as well.
Im willing to bet that the priority order was other way around.
