Interactions[edit | edit source]

Ch'r'ai Tska'an and her group of gith will ambush the party as they are approaching the Road To Baldur's Gate Waypoint. Carrying the Qua'nith Psionic Detector, whether gifted by Voss or looted off his corpse, allows the player to more easily spot their ambush and surprise the raiding party.

If the party was not marked for death by Vlaakith, Tska’an and her entourage will not appear at the ambush spot. If this is the case, Tska'an can be fought in the Knights of the Shield Hideout in Act Three as part of the quest Visit the Emperor's Old Hideout.

In combat, Tska'an functions as a gish and a warlock.
