Involvement[edit | edit source]
Moonrise Towers[edit | edit source]
If observed approaching the main entrance to Moonrise Towers for the first time, Malik stops the party and psionically probes their tadpoles through the use of his 
own. Upon recognizing the party lead as a True Soul, Malik asks for news from the field; the party can respond with a variety of dialogue options. If asked why he is on guard duty at the entrance, he reveals being tasked to recognize fellow True Souls.[1]
If Minthara is freed from the Moonrise Towers Prison, the party can lead her out of Moonrise Towers through the main entrance. Passing by Malik and Merim results in their blocking the party's path, demanding an explanation as to why Minthara is not in her cell. If convinced the party has the authority to escort her out (or that she has been fully subjugated), they are satisfied and the party may leave peacefully;[2] otherwise conflict results.
- [PERSUASION] She's completely loyal to me. I'll keep her in line. (DC 14)
- [INTIMIDATION] She goes where I take her - get out of my way. (DC 14)
- [DECEPTION] She's entirely repurposed, and has no will of her own. (DC 14)
