Varrl

Youth Varrl is a Githyanki in Baldur's Gate 3. He can be found at the Classroom in Crèche_Y'llek at X: 1358 Y: -774.

Involvement

Varrl is encountered in the midst of being reprimanded by his combat instructor, Sa'varsh Kethk. Kethk is disgusted by the youth's countenance, soft for a githyanki warrior, and seeks a challenger to fight the boy in order to teach him a lesson. If uninterrupted, the party steps up to fight, or if an ensuing ability check fails, Varrl will be killed.

Alternatively, if passing a DC 21 Persuasion check, Varrl will be spared and can be talked to afterwards. Varrl will confess that he has doubts about the teachings of Vlaakith and, if two subsequent ability checks are passed, reveals he has been reading the story of Orpheus and hands over Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part Two: Sacrifice. If you offer to let him read your copy of part one, found in the Arcane Tower in the Underdark, only one check is required and you can keep both books. The party can subsequently betray Varrl's confidence by revealing his heretical education to Kethk. This results in Varrl's death.

Vaarl can also be talked to if he is knocked out, then subsequently healed. He does not recover on his own, not even after a long rest.
