=== Recruiting Lae'zel === | |||
Lae'zel is first encountered on the [[Nautiloid]] in the [[Prologue]], but she can only become a full companion in Act One. There are several places where Lae'zel can be found. She is trapped in a cage on the [[Ravaged Beach]] (X:224, Y:372). as part of [[Free Lae'zel]], if she survived the Nautiloid. If Lae'zel died on the Nautiloid, she shows up on the Ravaged Beach as a corpse, but can be revived, such as with a [[Scroll of Revivify]]. Lae'zel can also be encountered on [[Risen Road]], near the [[Mountain Pass]] as the party approaches the githyanki patrol. | |||
=== Finding the Creche === | |||
:''For detailed information on finding the creche, see [[Find the Githyanki Crèche]].'' | |||
==== Conflict at Camp ==== | |||
Once the party reaches the Mountain Pass and finds the githyanki patrol, [[Kith'rak Voss]] interrogates the party on the location of a stolen githyanki artefact. It is polyhedric in shape and inscribed with the sacred runes of the githyanki people. If [[Shadowheart]] is in the party, she clearly anxious if she's in the party, as she's aware she carries the [[Mysterious Artefact]] he speaks of. After the patrol is dealt with, an event occurs during a Long Rest at camp. Lae'zel is arguing with Shadowheart about the theft of an object owned by her people. Lae'zel demands the artefact, but Shadowheart tells her to back off and be grateful they have the artefact to protect them. Lae'zel suggests they duel at sunrise to settle things. | |||
During the night, the player wakes up to Shadowheart holding a knife to Lae'zel's neck. She says she'll tell the party Lae'zel was transforming, so she put her down. If nothing is done, Shadowheart slits Lae'zel's neck and smashes her parasite as it crawls out. The player can defend Lae'zel, causing Shadowheart to become hostile and have to be killed. Lastly, with a Persuasion check (DC 10), Shadowheart can stand down. In this case, Lae'zel and Shadowheart resolve their issues and agree not to fight again. | |||
==== Arriving at the Creche ==== | |||
=== Confronting the Inquisitor === | |||
Enter the Captain's Chambers, where the Kith'rak of the crèche is arguing with an Inquisitor. The way forward is blocked by a shield generated by the Githyanki Barrier Disruptor (X:1390, Y:-757). A Gith Shard is needed to open the way, which is on the person of [[Kith'rak Therezzyn]]. Steal it, or fight the Kith'rak to gain the shard. Inquisitor [[Ch'r'ai W'wargaz]] recognizes the party and tells them to enter, opening the way. Alternatively, if the Kith'rak is shown the artefact, she locks the party in and demands they go to the Inquisitor immediately. | |||
Once the party enters the Inquisitor's Chambers, Ch'r'ai bids the party to talk to him. If they don't, he slowly becomes impatient until he becomes hostile. If he's spoken to, he reveals he is very familiar with their movements. If the party raided the Druid Grove in [[Raid the Grove]], he says "I heard enough druids died by your hand to make the deity Silvanus himself weep." If the party defeated the goblins in [[Defeat the Goblins]], he says "I heard there is so much goblin blood on your hands that it soaks their children's nightmares." The githyanki became interested in the party when they became involved with the Absolute's movements. | |||
[[File:Vlaakith Creche Visitor Quest.jpg|thumb|Vlaakith wishes to kill the Dream Visitor.]] | |||
The Inquisitor demands the artefact. The player can ask questions or attempt to hand over the artefact, which leads to [[Vlaakith]] appearing through the Planecaster. Otherwise, if the player refuses, Ch'r'ai becomes hostile, along with the other githyanki in the room. He's joined in combat by Ardent [[Jhe'rezath]], Raider [[Kyrr'a'ath]], Warrior [[Brelal'reth]], and Ardent [[Qu'th]]. After this, Vlaakith appears to confront the party and demands the death of the individual within the artefact, claiming they are corrupting the object, which is actually an [[Astral Prism]]. | |||
Once inside the prism, the [[Dream Visitor]] speaks to the party and says they will only speak to the leader of the party. Enter, and the Dream Visitor explains that they power they use to protect the party was stolen from the githyanki. Additionally, the Visitor knows a secret that would threaten Vlaakith's empire - that she is a pretender who does not possess the same power that Mother Gith did. This is why she wants them dead. The Visitor kneels down and offers a blade to the player, stating that they can strike down the visitor if they believe it right. However, killing the Visitor was simply a test and they don't die if stabbed - instead mentioning that they are hurt by the betrayal. | |||
After the visit, the player returns and explains what happens. Lae'zel demands to know what happened, and she can be told that the Visitor couldn't be killed if an attempt was made, or that Vlaakith has been hiding things from her people. The party must depart the Astral Plane and return to the mortal plane. If the Inquisitor was not already dealt with, then he attacks the party, as he had never intended for them to leave alive. After this, the entire crèche becomes hostile and the party can fight their way through, attempt to sneak out, or use the Secret Stairway from the [[Find the Blood of Lathander]] quest. The crèche itself becomes a hostile area, so fast travel is not possible. | |||
=== Vlaakith or Orpheus === | |||
Visiting Creche Y'llek causes Lae'zel to greatly question her loyalties once she is betrayed by the Inquisitor and labeled Hshar'lak. While she wants to believe that Vlaakith is testing her faith, she is once again swayed by a camp visitor - Kith'rak Voss. Voss arrives during a Long Rest once the party has returned from the Astral Prism. | |||
Lae'zel can be convinced to return to Vlaakith's fold, even if she has heard Voss out and was betrayed at the creche. This is through a 30DC Persuasion check once the party enters [[Rivington]]. Vlaakith appears in camp and urges Lae'zel to kill Voss, claiming he's a liar. Choose "Kneel, Lae'zel. To be the god-queen's Chosen is an extraordinary honour." Lae'zel once again becomes a faithful servant of Vlaakith's. | |||
