Involvement

Act One

Main article: Find the Githyanki Crèche

Stornugoss is in the Doctor's Office of the crèche at X: 1286 Y: -800. She is initially friendly to the party, but may become hostile if provoked. If the party seek treatment via the Zaith'isk, Stornugoss oversees the 'process' of this treatment, and is the focus of another conversation which occurs after it concludes. During this conversation, the selected responses may cause Stornugoss to become hostile.

Following the Zaith'isk treatment sequence, if Stornugoss leaves the Infirmary after ending the conversation, she tries to lock the door behind her. After doing this, and after a period of time has passed, a combat encounter begins with Stornugoss and several other githyanki soldiers attacking the party.

If Stornugoss becomes hostile and starts a combat encounter, the entire crèche does not become hostile; only the characters inside the infirmary area will attack, though other githyanki who wander close to the combat area will join.
