• Take the egg from the Hatchery.

• The githyanki egg has been destroyed.
• We kicked the egg off a cliff.
• We tricked Lady Esther into taking an owlbear egg instead. She thanked us, and rewarded us.
• We gave Lady Esther the githyanki egg. She appreciated our help and rewarded us.
• Lady Esther is gone. There's no chance of giving her an egg now.
• We tricked Lady Esther into taking an owlbear egg instead.
• We gave Lady Esther the githyanki egg. She appreciated our help.

Consequences

If Esther is given a genuine githyanki egg, the egg will show up in a portal at the Society of Brilliance Lodge in the Lower City in Chapter Three. The githyanki will be fully grown, going by the name Ptaris. He will reveal that he was raised by Lady Esther and a dwarf named Havkelaag, who sped up his aging. Ptaris will have murdered both of them and will become aggressive to the party if failed to be convinced that the Ptarian code he was raised by was wrong. Additionally, if the egg is given to Esther, the quest Retrieve Omeluum will not appear during Save the Gondians.
