Interactions

Ardent Kur'ashk can be initially found in the Crèche Y'llek Infirmary, lying in a bunk bed. He viciously derides any outsiders, if spoken to as a non-gith; however, he reveals slightly more nuance to his kin, expressing disappointment at how relaxed the crèche is acting in the presence of an inquisitor.

He will turn hostile after either of two circumstances:

• If Ghustil Stornugoss is allowed to leave her chamber after the encounter with the Zaith'isk, locking the party inside.
• When the entire crèche becomes hostile after the completion of Discover the Artefact's Secrets.
