→Vlaakith or Orpheus

The betrayal by the Inquisitor causes Lae'zel to question her loyalty. While she wants to believe that Vlaakith is testing her faith, she is swayed by Kith'rak Voss, who enters the camp during a [[Resting|Long Rest]]. If Lae'zel agrees to listen to him, Voss claims that Vlaakith is a pretender and that the true Prince, {{CharLink|Orpheus}}, is the key to their race's future. He asks the party to meet him at [[Sharess' Caress]] in [[Baldur's Gate]], which initiates {{Quest|Help Kith'rak Voss}}. If Lae'zel refuses to listen to Voss, he becomes hostile, and the party learns that he planned to meet a mysterious contact at Sharess' Caress. | The betrayal by the Inquisitor causes Lae'zel to question her loyalty.

An alternative path opens up by avoiding the confrontation with Vlaakith. The simplest way to do this is by avoiding the crèche entirely. However, another option is to avoid the Inquisitor in his chambers and instead move to the western hallway. Here, there are two statues that open up the way to a secret stairway. If the party enters this stairway and makes it past the traps (documented in {{Quest|Find the Blood of Lathander}}), they can obtain {{SmRarityItem|The Blood of Lathander}}. Choosing to do this without first using the Dawnmaster's Crest activates a Solar Machine that destroys the entire crèche (and kills any party members who fail to escape in time). If the creche storyline was not fully resolved (either by destroying the creche or speaking to the inquisitor), then Lae'zel eventually confronts the party and says she intends to go back, unless passing a {{Ability check|Intimidation|6}}. Because Lae'zel has not been betrayed by Vlaakith, she happily obeys her queen. In [[Act Three]], Vlaakith orders Lae'zel to kill the heretic prince Orpheus who dwells within the Astral Prism. If she does this, Lae'zel shall become Baht t'Vlaakith, the leader of her army.

If the creche situation was not resolved in [[Act One]], and Lae'zel intends the pledge loyalty to her queen, there is the option to pass a {{Ability check|Arcana|18}} to read Vlaakith's mind, which reveals the truth about the ''[[Zaith'isk]]'', and Vlaakith's intention to consume Lae'zel, instead of rewarding her. After a {{Ability check|Wisdom|18}}, the player character can use the tadpole to share this information with Lae'zel, and she will turn against Vlaakith and vow to free Orpheus. | |||
Lae'zel can be convinced to return to Vlaakith even after speaking with Voss and being betrayed by Vlaakith. This is accomplished by passing a {{Ability check|Persuasion|30}} when the party enters [[Rivington]]. Vlaakith appears in camp and urges Lae'zel to betray Voss, claiming that he is a liar. Choose "Kneel, Lae'zel. To be the god-queen's Chosen is an extraordinary honour." Lae'zel returns to Vlaakith as a faithful servant. | Lae'zel can be convinced to return to Vlaakith even after speaking with Voss and being betrayed by Vlaakith.
