— Klen

Involvement

Act Two

Moonrise Towers

Klen can be first encountered on the first floor of Moonrise Towers, where he patrols the off-limits area connecting all the different first floor rooms. Intruding in the area either causes Marcus to intervene in the party's favour, or engages trespassing dialogue.

• [DECEPTION] Disciple Z'rell sent me with urgent news for the General. (DC 10)
• [INTIMIDATION] I work for the General. Perhaps he should hear of your insolence. (DC 10)
• [ILLITHID] Commune with your parasite, plant a thought: 'This one is a disciple.'
• Attack.

Defending Moonrise Towers

If the Nightsong is freed and the Harpers launch their assault on Moonrise Towers, Klen is killed during the subsequent battle. His corpse can be found next to the staircase leading into Moonrise Towers, at X: -159 Y: -137.
