+This is a transcript of the interaction with [[Kith'rak Voss]] and [[Sarth Baretha|Sarth Baretha's]] [[Githyanki]] squad near the [[Mountain Pass]].

If this event occurs while Lae'zel is at camp, then Lae'zel is later added back to the party, she will not alter the conversational outcomes.</ref> or if [[Lae'zel]] speaks to Voss while under control of the party.
