}}'''Kith'rak Voss''' is a ruthless [[Githyanki]] knight in the service of his queen, [[Vlaakith]], and rides a red dragon steed named [[Qudenos]]. | |||
== | ==Gameplay== | ||
* During [[Act One]], the player may first encounter Voss if they venture close enough to the "Mountain Pass" area to the northwest of [[Waukeen's Rest]]. Voss will first be seen astride Qudenos, landing nearby to give orders to the other Githyanki. | |||
** After this initial cutscene ends, Voss will begin pacing the area around the dead Flaming Fists' and the other Githyanki under his command. At this point, the player has the ''option'' to walk up to Kith'rak Voss and initiate conversation with him, and if present, with Lae'zel ''and'' Voss. | |||
** Several possible outcomes for this scene will trigger a combat encounter where Voss orders the other Githyanki to attack. However, Voss ''himself'' has not yet been observed to take part in an encounter triggered ''by this conversation.'' | |||
** It is plausibly still possible to attack Voss without triggering this conversation,{{Verify}} but he will always leave the scene on his own once the conversation concludes. | |||
* Voss can be encountered for a second time after completing [[Discover the Artefact's Secrets]], and under the right conditions he can become hostile and attack the party. | |||
* Voss has not yet been observed to cause, or directly participate in, additional combat encounters during Act Two, and Act Three.{{Verify}} | |||

If Kith'rak Voss or his Githyanki underlings are approached by the player, he will interrogate the player about the object of his mission, the [[Mysterious Artefact]], which he believes is a powerful weapon that can be used against the [[Mind Flayer]]s. Regardless of how the interrogation ends, Voss will depart on Qudenos once the dialogue has finished. | |||

Voss will still talk with, and potentially even be friendly to non-Gith, but Githyanki characters (including if [[Disguise Self]] or other similar abilities are used) will have special interactions with Voss, reflecting their place in Gith society. | |||
[[Lae'zel]], if alive but not in the party, will react to what happened.

If the player follows her dialogue continues. If the player leaves and takes a Long Rest, though, Lae'zel will die, Voss will be gone, and the other Githyanki under his command will be hostile. | |||
Lae'zel will leave and approach Voss on her own | |||
=== | ===Act Two - Campsite Visit=== | ||
{{SpoilerWarning|act=2}} | |||
After completing the [[Discover the Artefact's Secrets]] quest, Kith'rak Voss will make a surprise visit when you fast travel or [[Long Rest]] outside of the Creche. He will speak directly to [[Lae'zel]], trying to reason with her about the truth of Vlaakith's tyranny after her own recent betrayal. Further, he will claim to be opposing Vlaakith's reign and how the occupant within the Artefact is the key to her being overthrown. A critical choice must be made: | |||
* If | *If you chose to listen with him and reason with Lae'zel, he will urge to meet him again in Baldur's Gate at the [[Sharess' Caress]]. | ||
* | *Or you can urge Lae'zel to attack him, leading to an optional boss fight. This will have considerable consequences, yet earn you [[Voss' Silver Sword]]. The [[Letter to Voss]] on his body will direct you to [[Sharess' Caress]], continuing [[The Githyanki Warrior]] questline. | ||

At the head of the Honor Guard mounted on red dragons, Orpheus fought Vlaakith's knights in a battle in the Astral Plane, where he praised Gith and accused Vlaakith. Yet he was overcome and defeated by Kith'rak Voss on [[Qudenos]] and imprisoned within the [[Astral Prism]], so that Vlaakith I (and now [[Vlaakith|Vlaakith CLVII]]) may exploit the powers he inherited from his mother. | ||

== | == Trivia == | ||
* ''[[Kith'rak]]'' is a high-ranking [[Githyanki]] military title. | |||
* Lae'zel states that he has served as a knight since Vlaakith I, the first queen of the githyanki; this would mean that he is potentially thousands of years old given the stasis of time in the [[Astral Plane]], and later dialogue from Lae'zel stating that the "current" queen Vlaakith, is many, many generations removed from Vlaakith I. | |||
