== Walkthrough == | |||
=== The Arcane Tower === | |||
[[File:Arcane Tower Slate Quest.jpg|thumb|The Arcane Tower slate.]] | |||
The first '''Engraved Githyanki Disc''' is on the fourth floor of the {{Coords|-31|-296|Arcane Tower}}. The disc itself is on a bookshelf, although an additional disc, [[The Careful Art of Tir'su Ciphers]] (X:-34, Y:-288) is needed to interpret it if [[Lae'zel]] is not available. The disc is on a nearby desk on the same floor. Once the disc is read, its title changes to [[Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part One: Betrayal]]. | |||
=== The Githyanki Crèche === | |||
[[File:Classroom Creche Slate Quest.jpg|thumb|The Classroom slate.]] | |||
The second disc is at [[Crèche Y'llek]], in the Classroom (X:1357, Y:-769). There is a young student named [[Youth Varrl]] who has been beaten badly in combat. He's being berated by his teacher, [[Sa'varsh Kethk]], who says his next battle must be to the death. There are several options to proceed: | |||
* Choose "I'd bring him to the brink of death. Leave him asking why he deserves to live." or "''Offer to fight the boy yourself''." Then choose to make a non-fatal attack (Dexterity DC 16). Then, once the boy is taken away, heal him. | |||
* Talk the teacher down from having the boy fight by choosing "No, this is too far. He's learnt his lesson" (Persuasion DC 21). | |||
* Pickpocket the slate from Varrl. | |||
* Kill Varrl and loot the disc off his corpse. | |||
If Varrl is still alive, speak to him and he thanks the party for intervening. He almost calls them a certain name, but stops short. Question him on it: | |||
* [PERSUASION] Just like who? If there's a like-minded soul here, I'd love to meet them. (DC 14) | |||
* I just keep believing I can be better. I hope you will do the same. | |||
* [DETECT THOUGHTS] ''Seek the name the boy refuses to reveal.'' | |||
* I'm just like Orpheus? | |||
* Like Orpheus? Show the boy the chapter you stole. | |||
Varrl reveals he meant to say Prince [[Orpheus]]. Show him the slate from the Arcane Tower and he'll hand over his slate. | |||
=== Moonrise Towers === | |||
[[File:Balthazar Slate Quest.jpg|thumb|The Moonrise Towers slate.]] | |||
The final slate is at [[Moonrise Towers]]. It can be retrieved as part of [[Infiltrate Moonrise Towers]] when the party gains access to the upper floor. The slate is on a bookshelf in [[Balthazar|Balthazar's]] room (X:-127, Y:-182). The party can either lockpick the door or gain the key from Disciple [[Z'rell]]. | |||

=== The Fate of Prince Orpheus === | |||
