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?
- Player: DC 15 Sleight of Hand check - Silently hold his stare and discreetly prepare to attack
- (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!
- (Dialogue ends, resulting in combat)

- (If you pass the check)
- Narrator: *You realize he's casting Detect Thoughts.*
- Player: Wisdom saving throw Resist the probing into your mind.
- (If you pass the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: Bah! Nothing even approaching a useful thought in that skull. I ought to just kill you...
- Player: DC 15 Persuasion check - I could help if you let me live - search for this weapon, perhaps.
- (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: Help? Absurd. You're already a hindrance, wasting my time.
- (See above)
- Player: DC 15 Intimidation check - Why are you hesitating, then? Try it, I dare you.
- (If you pass the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: So bold in the face of death... Perhaps you may live after all.
- Kith'rak Voss: Better to let stronger blood thrive. It can give rise to worthier foes and hardier slaves. Don't disappoint me.
- (See above)
- (If you fail the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: Killing vermin requires no daring.
- (See above)
- Player: [BARBARIAN] Advantage DC 15 Intimidation check - Give it a try. I'm hungry for a little fun.
- (If you pass the check)
- (If you fail the check)
- Player: DC 15 Persuasion check You ought to just leave. You've no right to decide my fate.
- (If you pass the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: My blade is my right. If I can take your life, it is mine. But perhaps you have other uses...
- (See above)
- (If you fail the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: I have every right. I am strong, you are weak.
- (See above)
- Player: [OATH OF THE ANCIENTS] DC 15 Persuasion check You must've seen my knowledge of these ancient lands. I could be of use to you.
- (If you pass the check)
- (If you fail the check)
- Player: Attack
- Kith'rak Voss: Bah! Nothing even approaching a useful thought in that skull. I ought to just kill you...
- Narrator: *You realize he's casting Detect Thoughts.*
- [WIZARD]/[WARLOCK]/[SORCERER] Player: Wisdom saving throw - He is casting Detect Thoughts - steel your mind to resist it
- (If you pass the check)
- (If you fail the check)
- (seeabove)
- Player: Attack.
- Player: You'll need to start from the beginning - what is this weapon you're after?
- Kith'rak Voss: Do not speak. Your bleating offends me ears. Just stand still...
- (See above)}
- Player: Produce the artefact. Ask if this is what he seeks.
- Kith'rak Voss: It cannot be.
- Kith'rak Voss: Just like that, you offer up what I seek. Remarkable. You have my thanks.
- Kith'rak Voss: In gratitude, I'll grant you a swift death. Baretha? You know what to do.
- (See above)
- Player: I might know something. But it'll cost you.
- Kith'rak Voss: You haggle with your own life, fool. Be silent and hold still...
- (See above)
- Player: Say nothing.
- (If you fail the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: You think I don't see that pathetic fumbling?
- Player: DC 15 Intimidation check - I just want passage - if I have to go through you, so be it.
- (If you pass the check)
- Kithrak Voss: Chk! You dare speak to me like my better? Others have died for lesser insults - slowly.
- Kithrak Voss: But your bravery amuses me. Finally I find a wolf in a world of lowing cattle...
- Kithrak Voss: You may live. For the moment.
- Kithrak Voss: Now, we seek a weapon, taken from a vessel that fell from the sky. Understand, istik?
- (See above)
- (If you fail the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: I gave you a chance to save your hide. Instead you chose empty bluster.
- Kith'rak Voss: You are a waste of flesh. Perhaps the worms will have use for you.
- (See above)
-
- (If you pass the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: Senseless creature - I don't want to dull my blade on your overly thick skull.
- (See above)
- (If you fail the check)
- Player: DC 15 Persuasion check I don't know you, I pose no threat.
- (If you pass the check)
- Kith'rak Voss: Of course you are not a threat! You are nothing until I tell you otherwise.
- Kith'rak Voss: For you to keep sucking air, it is necessary for you to tell me something of worth.
- (See above)
- (If you fail the check)
- {{dopt|Player: [ROGUE] Claim you're an important person. A valuable hostage - or ally.
- Kith'rak Voss: No creature from this wretched world is important, half-wit.
