Lady Esther | Lady Esther {{Coords|-43|-128}} is northeast of the Trielta Crags Waypoint in the Mountain Pass. Esther asks the party if they've seen the "stupid little hive" known as the crèche. She explains that she was chased off after trying to buy one of the githyanki eggs. The [[Society of Brilliance]] asked her to acquire one of their roe so they can incubate it and, once it hatches, raise the spawn in their tradition. Esther asks the party if they'd be willing to acquire an egg for her, and she'll reward the party handsomely for their service. | ||
The party can insist upon payment upfront with a successful Persuasion | The party can insist upon payment upfront with a successful {{Ability check|Persuasion|21}}, agree to do the task, refuse, or kill Esther outright. | ||

Find the Cable Car Wheel {{Coords|-47|-74}} and succeed in a {{Ability check|Strength|15}} to summon the cable car. Climb on the cable car and use the wheel to move towards the Monastery. Follow the path east until a cutscene triggers where a group of githyanki warriors shoot down some cultists. Unfortunately, the Rosymorn Monastery Doors are locked and magically enchanted, but there are broken windows that can be climbed through {{Coords|64|31}} just west of the doors. Once inside, there are a number of drunk Kobolds who can be snuck past or killed. Move north to the giant crack in the wall. From here, jump up the rocks to get higher up on the Monastery. | ||

After moving west, follow the stairs to north to reach the Monastery Basement (X:74, Y:80) where [[Crèche Y'llek]] resides. The githyanki are suspicious to outsiders - Lae'zel can smooth the way without any checks if she's in the party, or the party can gain access by persuading, intimidating, or deceiving the guards. | After moving west, follow the stairs to north to reach the Monastery Basement (X:74, Y:80) where [[Crèche Y'llek]] resides.
