Objectives
- Kith'rak Voss visited our camp and asked us to help him free someone held prisoner within the Astral Prism. We agreed to bring the Prism to Baldur's Gate and meet him there.
- We spoke to Lae'zel after finding out that the prisoner in the Astral Prism is Orpheus. She wants to meet Voss in Sharess' Caress.
- We learned that the prisoner's chains can be broken with something called the Orphic Hammer. We should find Voss in Sharess' Caress and talk to him about it.
- We entered the Wyrm's Crossing district of the Outer City. Sharess' Caress, the tavern where Voss will be waiting for us, should be nearby.
- We learned that the prisoner's chains can be broken with something called the Orphic Hammer. Maybe we can find out more about it from Raphael.
- We saw Kith'rak Voss and the devil Raphael having a heated conversation. Raphael must know something about the key to freeing the prisoner from the Astral Prism.
- Raphael proposed a deal: if he gives us the Orphic Hammer, the key to freeing Orpheus, we give him the Crown of Karsus once we defeat the elder brain. We refused. We should probably talk to Voss, who's waiting in the Sharess' Caress taproom.
- Kith'rak Voss tasked us with finding a way of retrieving the Orphic Hammer from Raphael's House of Hope. We should explore the city - see if we find any leads.
- We entered the House of Hope. The Orphic Hammer should be close. We should look around.
- We found the Orphic Hammer, but it is protected by a magical barrier. There must be a way to disable it.
- We disabled the magical barrier protecting the Orphic Hammer. We can finally get our hands on it.
- We retrieved the Orphic Hammer. We should bring it to Voss, who's waiting for us in the Undercity.
- We retrieved the Orphic Hammer. We should bring it to Voss in the Sharess' Caress taproom.
- We signed Raphael's contact and he gave us the Orphic Hammer. We should tell Voss in the Sharess' Caress taproom.
- We signed Raphael's contract and he gave us the Orphic Hammer, but we lied to Voss and told him that we didn't. He will be waiting for us in the Undercity, where we should bring the Hammer.
- We found the Orphic Hammer. We should bring it to Voss in Sharess' Caress.
- We didn't sign the contact with Raphael, but we told Voss we did. As a reward, he gave us a powerful silver sword - the highest grade of weapon in githyanki custom. He left to prepare for the revolution that will follow Orpheus' deliverance.
- We showed Voss the Orphic Hammer and he gave us a powerful silver sword - the highest grade of weapon in githyanki custom. He left to prepare for the revolution that will follow Orpheus' deliverance.
- We went to Sharess' Caress, but Voss wasn't there. We won't be able to tell him that we found the Orphic Hammer.
- Voss is dead. He won't be able to aid Orpheus in his rebellion against Vlaakith.
- Voss left after we attacked him. He must be gathering his allies for when Orpheus needs their help.
- We entered the Morphic Pool before showing Voss the Orphic Hammer. We should press on - the elder brain awaits.
Walkthrough
Encountering Voss
Kith'rak Voss initially approaches the party as part of Discover the Artefact's Secrets and Lae'zel's personal quest, The Githyanki Warrior. He is briefly seen in the Mountain Pass, where he refers the party to seek out the Githyanki Crèche inside Rosymorn Monastery.
When the party has entered the Crèche and confronted Vlaakith, Voss approaches their camp. There, he tells the party to help the person in the Astral Prism as much as they can. He says he and his warriors are going to Baldur's Gate and they should meet with him at Sharess' Caress
Once the party has reached Sharess' Caress in Wyrm's Crossing, they can speak with the proprietor, Mamzell Amira. She can be asked what she has to offer. Amira mentions that a devil is in residence - Raphael. At the bar, Korrilla is also around, informing the party that Raphael wishes to speak with them. They both refer the party to the upper floor of the tavern.
At the top floor is the Devil's Den, and Raphael. Kith'rak Voss is inside trying to deal with Raphael, but Raphael sends him away. Voss tells the party he will wait outside to hear how their conversation with Raphael went. Raphael does indeed have a proposition for the party. He is in possession of the Orphic Hammer - a tool that can break the cage that holds Orpheus. In return, he wants the Crown of Karsus, which is being used to control the Elder Brain, once the party defeats it.
Obtaining the Hammer
Raphael's proposal can either be rejected or accepted, as part of Deal with the Devil. If it's rejected, he states that he will remain at Sharess' Caress for some time in case they change their mind. If the deal is accepted, he will create a Soul-Sworn Contract and the party instantly feels a pang of regret, starting Escape the Deal. In this instance, Raphael immediately relinquishes the Hamer to the party.
There is also the option to steal the Orphic Hammer, by pursuing the quest Free Orpheus.
Showing the Hammer to Voss
If the party signs the deal with Raphael, they can show it to Voss immediately. Voss gifts the party a silver sword, a precious cultural item of the Githyanki. He then departs to prepare his forces to take on the Elder Brain.
If the party refuses the deal, Voss relocates to the Lower City Sewers near the Undercity Ruins waypoint. There, he waits for the party and will grant them the sword before leaving to gather his forces.
