That bridge was going to be my passage to Baldur's Gate. To safety. Now I've to find another way.

Involvement

Act One

Ellyka warns the party about a group of githyanki up ahead. However, if the interacting party member appears to be a githyanki, Ellyka refers to them as a 'flatface', and the party has a few unique dialogue responses. While speaking to Ellyka with a githyanki appearance, she attacks the party if selecting:

• [GITHYANKI] They may be my kin. I will investigate.
• [GITHYANKI] First and last warning - lower that weapon.

Ellyka can later be found dead at Crèche Y'llek. Using  Speak with Dead on her corpse can reveal that she travelled to Rosymorn searching for The Blood of Lathander, and was captured and tortured by the githyanki for information on Moonrise.

Speak with Dead

Ellyka can be spoken to with  Speak with Dead.

Notes

• When Ellyka's corpse is encountered in Crèche Y'llek, she will be level 5 and have an Extra Attack.
• While in combat with Ellyka, it is still possible for a character to enter the trigger zone for the usual cutscene that occurs at the Mountain Pass area. This will abruptly end the combat encounter, and Ellyka will flee from the location, but remain marked as "hostile."^{[Needs Verification]}
