Involvement

Act One

Ardent Kur'ashk can be initially found in the Crèche Infirmary, lying in a bunk bed. He viciously derides any outsiders, if spoken to as a non-gith; however, he reveals slightly more nuance to his kin, expressing disappointment at how relaxed the crèche is acting in the presence of an inquisitor.

He becomes hostile after either of two circumstances:

• If Ghustil Stornugoss leaves her chamber after the encounter with the Zaith'isk, locking the party inside.
• When the entire crèche becomes hostile after the completion of  Discover the Artefact's Secrets.
