The githyanki patrol (X:-101, Y:555) is west across the Risen Road. They are arguing with a group of [[Flaming Fist|Flaming Fists]]. Suddenly, a red dragon comes down from the sky and sets the fists aflame. If [[Lae'zel]] is in the party, she notes that the crèche must be near and goes to meet with the patrol. Go with her to start a conversation with the dragon's rider, [[Kith'rak Voss]]. | The githyanki patrol (X:-101, Y:555) is west across the Risen Road.

A successful pass of any of these checks and Voss lets the party live. He tells them to go to the crèche - ahead, at the [[Mountain Pass]].

The [[Rosymorn Monastery]] is accessed from the Mountain Pass. Find the Cable Car Wheel (X:-47, Y:-74) and succeed in a Strength check (DC 15) to summon the cable car.

Find the Cable Car Wheel (X:-47, Y:-74) and succeed in a Strength check (DC 15) to summon the cable car. Climb on the cable car and use the wheel to move towards the Monastery. There is also a path to the west if the cable car cannot be summoned. Follow the path east until a cutscene triggers where a pair of githyanki warriors have captured a trio of [[Cult of the Absolute|Absolute]] cultists searching for [[Moonrise Towers]]. Afterwards, the githyanki close the Rosymourn Monastery doors behind them with the cultists in tow. Unfortunately, the doors are locked and magically enchanted, making lockpicking impossible. There are broken windows that can be climbed through (X:64, Y:31) just west of the doors. Once inside, there are a number of drunk [[Kobold|Kobolds]] who can be snuck past or killed. Move north to the giant crack in the wall. From here, jump up the rocks to get higher up on the Monastery. | ||
Alternatively, the player can choose to attack through a prompt in the bottom left corner of the screen. The doors will remain open, allowing the party quicker and easier access to the Crèche below. The party will only have to defeat the githyanki, as the cultists have either presumably escaped, or were escorted below. | |||

The way forward is blocked by a shield generated by the Githyanki Barrier Disruptor (X:1390, Y:-757). A [[Gith Shard]] is needed to open the way, which is on the person of Therezzyn. Steal it, or fight the Kith'rak to gain the shard. W’wargaz recognizes the party and tells them to enter, opening the way. Alternatively, if the Kith'rak is shown the artefact, she locks the party in and demands they go to the Inquisitor immediately. | ||

The player can ask questions or attempt to hand over the artefact, which leads to [[Vlaakith]] appearing through the Planecaster. Otherwise, if the player refuses, W’wargaz becomes hostile, along with the other githyanki in the room. He is joined in combat by Ardent [[Jhe'rezath]], Raider [[Kyrr'a'ath]], Warrior [[Brelal'reth]], and Ardent [[Qu'th]]. After this, Vlaakith appears to confront the party and demands the death of the individual within the artefact, claiming they are corrupting the object, which is actually an [[Astral Prism]]. | ||

Lae'zel demands to know what happened, and she can be told that the Visitor couldn't be killed if an attempt was made, or that Vlaakith has been hiding things from her people. The party must depart the [[Astral Plane]] and return to the Material Plane. If the Inquisitor was not already dealt with, then he attacks the party, as he had never intended for them to leave alive. After this, the entire crèche becomes hostile and the party can fight their way through, attempt to sneak out, or use the Secret Stairway from the [[Find the Blood of Lathander]] quest. Fast travel is only possible outside of the Captain’s Quarters, as the remainder of the créche is a hostile area, where fast travel is impossible. | ||

Once the party has safely escaped the crèche, Kith'rak Voss comes to visit at camp. He says he comes to aid the party. He's aware that Lae'zel and the party have the Astral Prism. Voss believes that within the Prism is the seed of Vlaakith's demise. The party can either spare Voss, who tells the party to meet him at [[Sharess' Caress]] in the city, or kill him. The choice heavily impact's Lae'zel's quest, [[The Githyanki Warrior]], as she can either solidify her belief in Vlaakith or begin to question it. | Once the party has safely escaped the crèche, Kith'rak Voss comes to visit at camp.
