'''Kith'rak Voss''' is a ruthless [[githyanki]] knight in the service of his queen, [[Vlaakith]]. He rides a red dragon steed named [[Qudenos]].

Line 71: Line 46:
Voss is a [[Kith'rak]] in githyanki society, a fearsome warrior captain who reports directly to the lich queen [[Vlaakith|Vlaakith CLVII]]. Per [[Lae'zel]] and lore found in-game, Voss has been the right-hand knight of Vlaakith and her predecessors, dating back to Vlaakith I, who succeeded the first githyanki leader [[Gith]] thousands of years in the past. [[Qudenos]] the [[Dragon|Red Dragon]] is his steed and closest comrade.

Voss is direct and brutal, expecting the deference due to Vlaakith's personal silver sword. Other gith [[Non-player characters|NPCs]], including Lae'zel, hold him in esteem and may even be cowed by his presence. He will still talk with—and potentially even be friendly to—non-gith, but githyanki characters<ref>Or a character appearing as a githyanki using {{SAI|Disguise Self}}.</ref> will have special interactions with Voss that reflect their place in gith society.

If Lae'zel is allowed to speak for the party, a single persuasion check convincing her to "play along" with Voss's order resolves the encounters without violence.
If Lae'zel is allowed to speak for the party, there will be a persuasion check to convince her to "play along" with Voss's order. However, this is followed by deception checks to convince Voss that Lae'zel is telling the truth.


Regardless of how the interrogation ends, Voss will depart on Qudenos once the dialogue has finished. He does not participate in combat, and will teleport away with Qudenos at the first opportunity if preemptively engaged.

====Campsite Visit====
Once [[Discover the Artefact's Secrets]] is complete, Kith'rak Voss will make a surprise visit when you fast travel or [[long rest]] outside of the Creche. He will speak directly to Lae'zel, trying to reason with her about the truth of Vlaakith's tyranny after her own recent betrayal. Further, he will claim to be opposing Vlaakith's reign, and that the occupant within the Artefact is the key to her being overthrown. A critical choice must be made:

* If you choose to listen to him and reason with Lae'zel, he will urge you to meet him again in Baldur's Gate at [[Sharess' Caress]].

* Alternatively, you can urge Lae'zel to attack him, leading to an optional boss fight. This will have considerable consequences, yet earn you [[Voss' Silver Sword]]. The [[Letter to Voss]] on his body will direct you to Sharess' Caress, continuing [[The Githyanki Warrior]] questline.

If the party refuses the deal, Voss relocates to the [[Lower City Sewers]] near the [[Undercity Ruins]] waypoint. There, he waits for the party and will grant them the sword before leaving to gather his forces.
If the party refuses the deal, Voss relocates to the [[Lower City Sewers]] near the [[Undercity Ruins]] waypoint. There, he waits for the party and will grant them the sword before leaving to gather his forces.


If the party attacks him in the Sewers, he'll call you traitor and will teleport away on his turn, even if restrained, silenced, or incapacitated. He may still be killed if the party can slay him in a single turn.

===Act Three - Upper City===
 
Voss will confront the party as they approach [[High Hall]]. His reaction varies greatly depending on the choices that the party made inside the [[Astral Prism]] after their initial loss to the [[Netherbrain]]:
 
* If the party chose to free Orpheus and either Karlach or the player character became a Mind Flayer, then Voss is overjoyed at his friend's freedom. He then agrees to help them as part of the [[Gather Your Allies]] quest.
 
* If the party chose to free Orpheus and then allowed him to sacrifice himself to become a Mind Flayer, then Voss initially believes they betrayed him and killed Orpheus. He is shocked and horrified to learn that his Prince sacrificed himself for the cause, but will still offer to help them as part of the Gather Your Allies quest.
 
* If the party chose to trust the Emperor and let him or Karlach consume Orpheus, then Voss is enraged and the party must pass a {{Ability check|Persuasion|30}} or {{Ability check|Deception|30}} to prevent him from attacking them. If the check is successful, then Voss will both stand down and agree to help the party as part of the Gather Your Allies quest.
 
* If the party chose to trust the Emperor and the player character became a Mind Flayer to consume Orpheus, then an additional {{Ability check|Persuasion|25}} or {{Ability check|Intimidation|25}} must be passed before the {{Ability check|Persuasion|30}} or {{Ability check|Deception|30}} to prevent Voss from attacking and secure his aid in the Gather Your Allies quest
