Upon approaching Aelis's | Upon approaching Aelis's grease summons, he will tell the party to halt and accuse them of being allies of the [[Cult of the Absolute]]. Over the course of a rambling speech, he reveals that he was one of the "three finest thieves in Baldur's Gate" alongside [[Bareki]] and [[Sarin]] before the trio broke into [[Gortash]]'s office. In doing so, they discovered the secret plot of [[The Absolute]] and were hunted down by Absolutists until they fled into the sewers. They became increasingly paranoid until [[Sarin]] believed that Aelis and Bareki "had gone strange" and hid the treasure that they had stolen from Gortash. This convinced her friends that she had been taken over by the Absolute so Bareki decapitated her and Aelis burned her until only her skeleton remained. | ||
Throughout the conversation, Aelis will repeatedly address a nearby Grease Elemental as 'his cousin' and pause as if he can hear it speaking. He eventually reveals that he summoned his elementals to bear witness to Sarin's funeral and act as fuel for the fire. | Throughout the conversation, Aelis will repeatedly address a nearby Grease Elemental as 'his cousin' and pause as if he can hear it speaking.

===Encounter Details=== | |||
Aelis will spam {{DamageType|Fire}} damage spells at the party while using {{SAI|Fly (Class Action)}} around the battlefield to get into better positions. The ground is covered in {{Area|Grease (surface)}} which can easily be ignited. | |||
Some of his grease summons are so far away that they may not be close enough to join the fight right away. | |||
All of the grease summons are vulnerable to {{DamageType|Fire}}. | |||
===Tactics=== | |||
Despite the numerous allies at his disposal, Aelis is not a particularly challenging fight. He is the only real threat and his own fire spells will ignite the {{Area|Grease (surface)}} and damage all his allies. | |||
{{DamageType|Fire}} damage spells such as {{SAI|Scorching Ray}}, {{SAI|Fireball}}, and {{SAI|Wall of Fire}} can all decimate the grease summons due to their vulnerability, though Aelis himself has resistance to fire damage. | |||
Aelis may be slightly difficult to approach due to the grease on the ground, his many allies, and his ability to {{SAI|Fly (Class Action)}} away from threats. Using spells like {{SAI|Misty Step}}, {{SAI|Dimension Door}}, or {{SAI|Grant Flight}} can make it easier to reach him. | |||
