Halfling blacksmith of Jolev and active member of the Starlit Door. She has aspirations of rising within the ranks of the organization one day.

“I have a feeling you’re on the right path.” - Taron's Trophy (RPA-ADV2) 

She is skilled in demolitions, most notably responsible for the explosion at Taron's Arena in Sabek.

Rose inspects the halted scene of destruction with pride. “Everything went even better than expected,” she says. - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

Rose can be playful, but will do whatever job needs to be done for the Starlit Door;

Rose places three fingers under her left eye. Then she points at you. When you mimic this gesture, she smiles and returns to her work. - Taron's Trophy (RPA-ADV2)

She's genuinely curious, and seems to think she can find something to embarrass the king with later. - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

She also tends to be quite cryptic;

Ms. Rose, blacksmith from Jolev and member of the Starlit Door, was a mysterious person. She kept secrets in her shop, even from those she trusted. - Gate of Brizoor Waal (RPA-ADVF)

Rose, King Taron, and Tarik Nowlin all grew up in Jolev together;

“You know we used to call him the Coward of Jolev? Ran from everything and never wanted to get his boots muddy when we were young.“ Rose, about Taron - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

You slip Taron’s ring on your finger and focus your mind on Rose. She’s lost in a series of memories of all the times she chased a devious young Tarik around the hills and beaches of Jolev. - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

“Gods, she was a real bully,” he tells you. “Never left me alone when we were young. After her dad died, she started talking about the planes and wearing the Starlit Door’s ring. - Tarik, Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

Rose's father lost his life in service to the crown, on an expedition to acquire relics of intraplanar power;

“It was a shame what happened to her father under Amalia’s command,” he tells you, “but still, that is no excuse for what she has become.” - Taron, Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

The tension among the three of them persisted and then worsened when Rose’s father went missing on a mission for the queen. It was Amalia’s orders that led to his fate, but it was Taron’s interest in the power of planar artifacts that motivated the mission. - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

After slipping on Taron's ring it is revealed she harbored many deeper feelings for his wife, the late Queen Amalia:

But another, more powerful possibility motivates Rose’s search — the chance of finding something that belonged to Amalia, Taron's late wife and the former queen. Apparently, Rose’s feelings for Amalia run rather deep. - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

It seems she kissed a boy for the first time — and a girl for the second time — both here in this cave. The boy’s name you don’t recognize, but the girl is Amalia, former queen of Nalos. - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

One moment stands out above the rest, a formative memory. Rose sits alone on a bluff looking out over the ocean, pining for a childhood love who married a man and would soon be crowned Nalos’ new queen. - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

She also has harbored a level of resentment for King Taron:

You hand Rose the bluestone fireball and she gleefully crushes it against King Taron’s face. The resulting explosion blows you and Rose against the chamber walls, but she cannot stop laughing. “Oh gods! I’ve always wanted to do that.” - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

You slip Taron’s ring on your finger and focus on Rose. It seems Taron’s display of taxidermied heads is even more disturbing to her than she is letting on. She knew Taron fairly well in their youth, and to think that he could enjoy having such a grotesque collection makes her worry not only about him but about her own judgment of character. - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

It seems Rose blames Taron for the death of his wife, Queen Amalia. - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

Rose is the blacksmith in Jolev and will sell you weapons.

If she deems you worthy she will tell you about her family's history with the Starlit Door when inquiring about her ring;

“The ring belonged to my great grandmother. My family has always held an interest in the fate of our world. The cosmos must be balanced, with Ulos at the center of it all.” - Rose, Taron's Trophy (RPA-ADV2)

She will also give you a statement from Frogkin sage Uulog Gorpip.

Encountering Rose in an alleyway, it becomes evident she is responsible for the bluestone explosive diversion at Taron's Arena in Sabek so the Starlit Door can claim the Eye of Ulos:

You question the merchant further and learn that a Halfling woman with a strange ring planted a satchel near the wall and then ran off before anyone was the wiser. - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)

You notice traces of explosive bluestone powder on her shoes, and you see the Starlit Door insignia on her ring. It seems Rose had a role to play in the cult’s plot against Sabek. - Tome of Encounters (RPA-ADV4)

• Get the jump on her:
  • Succeed, and she runs off wounded, unable to complete the rest of her mission.
  • Fail, and she escapes into the sewers, winking mockingly.
• Get her attention and strike up a conversation:
  • Succeed, and she relays her plans.
  • Fail, and you provoke her attack.
    • Succeed, and she runs off wounded, unable to complete the rest of her mission.
    • Fail, and she escapes into the sewers, winking mockingly.
• Let her slip away:
  • She winks in recognition almost to mock you.

Rose fights against the Ogre Tog and the Human Jeremy Duntum, aided by floating, multicolor spheres, within a vault in Mikto, Plane of Secrets:

• If you side with the Starlit Door, you will fight alongside her:
  • If you defeat the opposition and are favored by the Halfling, she will greet you warmly. You claim the site, and find a green rune.
  • If you defeat the opposition and are disfavored by the Halfling, you will no longer be held against and claim the site, finding a green rune.
  • If you fall to the opposition, you stumble through a rift back to Elsifor's Tent at Brizoor Waal in defeat.

The rest of Sabek is frozen in time thanks to the actions of King Taron. You alone are able to move freely through the city and numerous rifts that you find.

You discover Rose as you step through a rift in the Frogkin Temple in Bogroot Swamp. She stands frozen in front of the statue of Buurglap, holding an ornate bowl in her hands. Two Klynoks appear on the other side of the temple, seemingly interested in the bowl in her hands. Depending on your previous interactions with them, you will have a choice to make.

• If known to them, you can either:
  • Help the Klynoks take the bowl.
  • Drive them off with force.
• If you are considered hostile, you can:
  • Defend yourself.
  • Refuse to draw your weapon and attempt to make peace.

Following this encounter, you may be able to free Rose from her current frozen condition. She could prove to be of help in other locations. And you may just learn a thing or two about others along the way.

Visiting Rose's shop, you see an iron that needs working, as well as a good idea where she might keep her gold:

• Assist Rose and impress her with your skill, paid with a piece of equipment.
• Steal the coin from her stash while she is distracted.

The blacksmith is working on a candle stick as you watch her work you know what needs to be done even though you have never worked at a forge before. When the blacksmith steps away for a moment,

• You step in and help the blacksmith finish the candle stick.
• You take over and shape the candle stick into a piece of art.
