The Githyanki Warrior: Difference between revisions

Lae'zel is first encountered on the [[Nautiloid]] in the [[Prologue]], but can only become a full companion in Act One. If Lae'zel survived the Nautiloid crash, she can be found in a cage north of the Roadside Cliffs [[Ancient Sigil Circle|waypoint]] at {{coords|224|372}}. If Lae'zel died on the Nautiloid, her corpse can be found on the [[Ravaged Beach]] and revived using a {{SmRarityItem|Scroll of Revivify}}. Lae'zel can also be encountered near the [[Mountain Pass]].

During a [[Resting|Long Rest]] after the Githyanki encounter, {{CharLink|Lae'zel}} confronts {{CharLink|Shadowheart}} over the {{SmItemIcon|Mysterious Artefact}}. Lae'zel demands possession of the artefact, but Shadowheart refuses. They agree to a duel at sunrise to settle their conflict.

During the night, the player character wakes up to Shadowheart holding a knife to Lae'zel's neck. If nothing is done, Shadowheart slits Lae'zel's neck and smashes her parasite as it crawls out. The player can defend Lae'zel, causing Shadowheart to become permanently hostile. Shadowheart can be persuaded to peacefully end the conflict by passing a {{Ability check|Persuasion|10}}.

In the Captain's Chambers, the Kith'rak of the crèche is arguing with an Inquisitor. A pathway leading through the Captain's Chamber is blocked by a Githyanki Barrier Disruptor at {{coords|1390|-757}}. To open the path, a {{SmItemIcon|Gith Shard}} must be obtained from {{CharLink|Therezzyn|Kith'rak Therezzyn}}. Inquisitor {{CharLink|W'wargaz|Ch'r'ai W'wargaz}} recognizes the party and allows them entry. Alternatively, if the Kith'rak is shown the artefact, she demands that the party speak with the Inquisitor immediately.

In the Inquisitor's Chambers, Ch'r'ai bids the party to talk to him. If the party refuses, he grows impatient and hostile. If the party speaks with him, he reveals that the Githyanki have been following the party's movements because of their involvement with the [[Absolute]].

The Inquisitor demands the artefact. The party can ask questions or attempt to offer the artefact, which causes {{CharLink|Vlaakith}} to appear through the Planecaster. If the player refuses, Ch'r'ai and the other Githyanki in the room will become hostile. Ch'r'ai is joined in combat by Ardent {{CharLink|Jhe'rezath}}, Raider {{CharLink|Kyrr'a'ath}}, Warrior {{CharLink|Brelal'reth}}, and Ardent {{CharLink|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 {{SmRarityItem|Mysterious Artefact|Astral Prism}}.

When the party enters the prism, the [[Dream Visitor]] will only speak with the player character. The Dream Visitor explains that the power used to protect the party from the Absolute was stolen from the Githyanki. Additionally, the Visitor knows that Vlaakith's empire is illegitimate and that she does not possess the same power that Mother Gith did. The Visitor believes this is why Vlaakith wants them dead. The Visitor kneels and offers a blade to the player character, stating that they can strike down the Visitor if they believe it is right. If the player character attempts to kill the Visitor, the Visitor lives and expresses feeling hurt by the betrayal.
