Mattis

Mattis is one of the tiefling refugees seeking shelter at the Emerald Grove in Act One.

Overview

Mischievous but good-natured, Mattis works as a scam artist for  Mol's child-gang. His younger sister is  Silfy.

Involvement

Act One

Mattis and Silfy have a storefront in the Emerald Grove near X: 245 Y: 550. When the party first interact with Mattis, he offers to sell them a  'Magic' Ring. The interacting party character can counter with their own magic trick by passing a check:

• [ROGUE] [SLEIGHT OF HAND] Vanish the ring with a reverse Hammar's Flourish. (DC 10 )
• [SLEIGHT OF HAND] Mimic his trick and make the ring disappear. (DC 15)
• [BARD] [PERFORMANCE] Spin the ring in an elaborate parlour trick. (DC 10)

Otherwise, Mattis attempts to demonstrate a magic trick with the ring but no matter what he successfully call heads or tails. Astute player characters who are Rogues, Sorcerers, Wizards, or Warlocks can identify the magic ring as a fake, to which Mattis says he is just trying to make a buck, and offers to sell them his wares.

If the interacting party member decides to peruse Mattis' wares, Silfy tries to rob them. On a successful Perception saving throw, they catch Silfy in the act and retrieve the stolen goods. On failure, ⁠Find Your Belongings is initiated.

Stealing Mattis' lucky magic ring before talking to him grants the following inspiration:

• ⁠Artful Dodger ( Urchin background)
• ⁠Made You Look ( Entertainer background)

If ⁠Save the Refugees is completed, as the tieflings are preparing to leave the Grove, Mattis and Mol argue about the items he wants to bring. At this point he can no longer be traded with until Act Two.

Act Two

Main article: Investigate the Selûnite Resistance

If Mattis survives through Act One and  Cal,  Lia, and  Rolan were convinced to stay in the Grove, Mattis travels to the Last Light Inn and is inside with another storefront.

Although most of his goods are arguably cheeky and worthless junk with occasional items of note, Mattis can be persuaded to offer or sell a  Tower-Shaped Key, which can be used to unlock a location during ⁠Investigate the Selûnite Resistance.

Act Three

If the tiefling children are saved by Rolan in Act Two, Mattis moves his shop to the Requisitioned Barn in Rivington. He states that he looted Moonrise Towers after the party's fight with  Ketheric Thorm.

Idle banter

 Meli will complain to Mattis as they are packing for Baldur's Gate:

• Meli

  Hands off, Mattis! I earned this!

• Mattis

  I helped you earn it.

• Meli

  Well, I'm stealin' on my own when we get to Baldur's Gate.

• Mattis

  Fine by me. I bet there's plenty of adults with loose pockets there.
