Encounter by the Mountain Pass
Without Lae'zel & Non-Githyanki character
Kith'rak Voss: What easy prey you make, walking right within my blade's embrace.
Kith'rak Voss: These creatures are so simple to ensnare, Baretha. You mewl too much about your task.
Sarth Baretha: Forgiveness, Kith'rak.
Kith'rak Voss: And as for you, tell me - why shouldn't I run you through this instant?
-
- (If you pass the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: Hmm. You make good use of silence. Too many think hot air will save them...
- Kith'rak Voss: If I have no use for you alive, I'll have your death, slow and sweet. Understand?
- Kith'rak Voss: A vessel fell from the sky. We seek a precious weapon that was taken from it.
- Narrator: *You suddenly feel a strange anxiety take hold - not your own, but that of the artefact you carry. Somehow, it's afraid...*
- Narrator: *You attune your mind to it. The artefact does not want to fall into the gith raiders' hands any more than it does the Absolute followers'.*
- Kithrak Voss: Help us find it and I will leave your blood beneath your skin, unspilled.
- Player: I'll help if I can.
- Kith'rak Voss: Of course. Obedience is your only hope. Now stand still...
- Narrator: *He begins to move his hand in a quick flurry of gestures.*
- Player: Do nothing
- Kith'rak Voss: What's this...?
- Kith'rak Voss: Ts'kva! You carry a ghaik parasite in your head! Death will be a kindness to you...
- Kith'rak Voss: Baretha! Rid us of this worm. I need to continue the hunt for the weapon.
- Sarth Baretha: At once... Htak'a!

- (If you pass the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: Bah! Nothing even approaching a useful thought in that skull. I ought to just kill you...
-
- (If you pass the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: Unlikely you'd be successful... but it costs me nothing to spare your sorry life.
- Kith'rak Voss: Very well, istik. Seek out survivors from the ship that crashed on this wretched world.
- Kith'rak Voss: Bring me their heads. Bring me the weapon. If you succeed, the reward will be great.
- Kith'rak Voss: Now go.
- (If you fail the check)

- Kith'rak Voss: So bold in the face of death... Perhaps you may live after all.
