Lae'zel: Difference between revisions

At the end of Act 2, the party will be ambushed at their camp by githyanki monks. The Dream Visitor explains that they are under attack, and opening a portal to the prism, urges the party to aid them. Inside, they find a [[Mind Flayer]] attacked by the same githyanki monks, the illithid quickly reaches out to the party, revealing that ''it'' is the Dream Visitor. Forced to aid it, the party dispatches the githyanki and the mind flayer shares that it used the guise of the Dream Visitor to support them in their travels. Calling itself the {{CharLink|The Emperor|Emperor}}, he explains that the githyanki assaulted the prism in order to liberate its prisoner: Orpheus. Orpheus' power, combined with that of the Emperor, are everything keeping the party from becoming mindless thralls to the [[Netherbrain]], as such, they have no other option but to side with him for the moment. Lae'zel will share her disbelief, explaining that all githyanki have been told that the Gith's son died to battle thousands of years ago, another one of Vlaakith's lies.

Arriving at Baldur's Gate, the party can proceed to meet with Voss at Sharess' Caress as pacted. There, they will find Voss pleading with {{CharLink|Raphael}}, the latter simply dismissing him. Raphael will then explain that he has the means to free Orpheus and that he is willing to assist Lae'zel and the party, for a price. Raphael's deal can be agreed to, in which case he will give the party the {{SmRarityItem|Orphic Hammer}}. Alternatively, he can be refused and his home, the [[House of Hope]], can be raided in order to find the hammer. Whatever path chose, Voss will await in the [[Lower City Sewers]] for news of the hammer.

Should Lae'zel remain loyal to Vlaakith, and fulfilled her decree to slay Orpheus, she will be welcomed back to Tu'narath, the Lich Queen's seat of power. There, she is ascended by the queen herself, a ritual reserved for only the mightiest heroes of the githyanki. A scene shows Vlaakith on her throne, welcoming Lae'zel nonchalant. From the shadows, githyanki zombies stare lifelessly as Lae'zel approaches and the queen uses her psionic powers to force Lae'zel to kneel using her silver sword, grinning as she does. The camera slowly leaves the chamber as the doors close, Lae'zel's fate sealed. Withers can be asked her whereabouts in the Epilogue, to which he will reply that she has ascended as she wished, but he can sense her presence no longer. He implies that she may have been consumed by the queen, as the rumours go, yet he cannot be certain.
