Ellyka

Ellyka is a tiefling scout encountered to the west of Waukeen's Rest near the entrance to the Mountain Pass during Act One.

That bridge was going to be my passage to Baldur's Gate. To safety. Now I've to find another way.

Involvement

Risen Road

Ellyka is initially neutral, but can become hostile if provoked.

While in combat with Ellyka, it is still possible for a character to move into the trigger zone for the usual cutscene that occurs at the Mountain Pass area. This will abruptly end the combat encounter, and Ellyka will run away from the location, but remain marked as "hostile."

Conversation

• For most player-avatar characters, Ellyka will warn the character she is speaking to about a group of Githyanki up ahead.
• Ellyka is 'less friendly' to characters using a Githyanki racial appearance. She will refer to the character as a 'flatface' and a few unique dialogue choices are available to select.
• While speaking to Ellyka as a Githyanki character, she will attack the party if the player selects any of:
  • "They may be my kin. I will investigate."
  • "First and last warning - lower that weapon."

Crèche Y'llek

Ellyka can later be found dead at Crèche Y'llek. Using speak with dead you can discover she travelled to Rosymorn looking for the Blood of Lathander, and was captured and tortured by the Githyanki for information on Moonrise.

Speak with Dead

Ellyka can be spoken to through the use of  Speak with Dead.
