2. We also know Mizora was captured and her pod isn't too far from Karlach so distance is not an issue
3. Anders was sent by Zariel, pretty much the same way the gur was sent by Cazador. They're both being actively hunted.
5. The paladins were fighting gnolls as well, as stated by them multiple times and are likely including those battles
2. I take it that comes from dialogue with Wyll? I've never bothered with him so I don't know much about him.
3. Okay so Zariel knows Karlach is on the ship, then knows where the ship has crashed and where Karlach is. Given that Zariel knows what a super-dooper fighter Karlach is why does she send a small party of average minions?
5. Fair point.
