Encounter details

Aylin cannot die in combat; if her HP reaches 0, she becomes  Downed for one turn and attempts to regain 1 HP on the following turn. This healing can be prevented by certain effects, such as  Bone Chilled, but she continues attempts to heal on subsequent turns until she finally stands up.

Ramazith's Tower

During Act Three, the party can discover that the wizard  Lorroakan is the one responsible for offering a reward for the Nightsong's capture. If Aylin is informed of his search, she flies to Sorcerous Sundries to face him, convinced that he will not stop searching for her.

Siding with Dame Aylin

If the party decides to side with Dame Aylin, she joins the party as an ally against Lorroakan.

Siding with Lorroakan

If the party decides to side with Lorroakan instead, a furious Dame Aylin declares the current party member a traitor and kneels in prayer, summoning Selûne who in turn blesses Aylin with a condition called  Moonmother's Embrace and sends three powerful  Moonlight Slivers.

Moonmother's Embrace grants her an extra  100 temporary hit points, +4 to Strength and Charisma ability scores, and resistance to ⁠Cold, ⁠Lightning, and ⁠Fire damage. In addition, she will also focus her attacks on player characters.

Her  Child of the Moonmaiden passive is removed regardless of who the party sides with. This is presumably just so that the fight can end if Aylin falls unconscious (and the party escapes if they sided with Aylin). In other words, it is presumably just for technical gameplay purposes, and not meant to indicate a broken oath nor Aylin losing her mother's favor.

Each of the Moonlight Slivers has a condition called  Lunar Legionary, which grants  Brand of the Silverlight to all of their allies (including Aylin) and  Lunar Radiance to all of their enemies within 18 m (60 ft). This means Aylin is likely to have an extra 5d8⁠⁠Radiant damage on each of her weapon attacks per round making her exceptionally deadly.
