Small Portrait of Vlaakith

The Small Portrait of Vlaakith

The Small Portrait of Vlaakith is an interactable object located in the Crèche Y'llek found underneath Rosymorn Monastery.

Involvement

Upon interacting with the painting, Lae'zel identifies the depicted as Vlaakith. The party can examine the painting more closely, at either the face or the small symbol on the corner:

• Study the subject's features.
• [GITHYANKI] Gaze upon Vlaakith's regal countenance.
• [GITHYANKI] [HISTORY] Inspect the symbol more closely. (DC 14)
• [HISTORY] Inspect the symbol more closely. (DC 21)
• [DEXTERITY] Draw a new face onto the portrait. (DC 16)  +1  +1  -1  +1

If the History check is passed, a small symbol painted on it can be recognized as a comet, the sign of Orpheus.

If the Dexterity check is passed to deface the painting, the painting is turned into the Vandalised Portrait of Vlaakith, featuring a beard, bushy eyebrows, a monocle and horns. Otherwise, if the check is not passed, the painting is turned into the Portrait of Vlaakith, with some dashes of orange paint running down the canvas.

In both instances Youth Vis'kiir comes over and frantically tries to undo the damage before any inquisitor sees. If failing the above check and then spoken to, he puts any consequence befalling the inhabitants of the Crèche on the party. However, this does not appear to happen while the party is there and the vandalism is not noticed by the two Githyanki patrolling the vicinity, Raider Ahu'u'rag and Warrior Yr'rk.

Vandalising the painting with a sucessful roll causes a chastising from Lae'zel, depending on the approval the party has with her.
