To complete this quest it is necessary to retrieve the following three '''Engraved Githyanki Discs''' | |||
* {{SmRarityItem|Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part One: Betrayal}} | |||
* {{SmRarityItem|Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part Three: Resurrection}} | |||
* {{SmRarityItem|Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part Two: Sacrifice}} | |||
=== The Arcane Tower === | |||
[[File:Arcane Tower Slate Quest.jpg|thumb|The Arcane Tower slate.]] | |||
The first '''Engraved Githyanki Disc''' is on the third floor of the {{Coords|-31|-296|Arcane Tower}}. The disc itself is on a bookshelf, although an additional disc, {{SmRarityItem|The Careful Art of Tir'su Ciphers}} {{Coords|-34|-288}} is needed to interpret it if {{CharLink|Lae'zel}} is not available. The disc is on a nearby desk on the same floor. Once the disc is read, its title changes to {{SmRarityItem|Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part One: Betrayal}}. | |||
=== The Githyanki Crèche === | |||
[[File:Classroom Creche Slate Quest.jpg|thumb|The Classroom slate.]] | |||
The second disc is at [[Crèche Y'llek]], in the Classroom {{Coords|1357|-769}}. There is a young student named {{CharLink|Varrl|Youth Varrl}} who has been beaten badly in combat. He's being berated by his teacher, {{CharLink|Kethk|Sa'varsh}}, who says his next battle must be to the death. There are several options to proceed: | |||
* Choosing "I'd bring him to the brink of death. Leave him asking why he deserves to live." or "''Offer to fight the boy yourself''." Then choosing to make a non-fatal attack (Dexterity DC 16). Then, once the boy is taken away, heal him. | |||
* Talking the teacher down from having the boy fight by choosing "No, this is too far. He's learnt his lesson" (Persuasion DC 21). | |||
* Pickpocketing the slate from Varrl. | |||
* Killing Varrl and loot the disc off his corpse. | |||
If Varrl is still alive, speaking to him results in him thanking the party for intervening. He almost calls them a certain name, but stops short. Questioning him on it: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|Just like who? If there's a like-minded soul here, I'd love to meet them.|roll=Persuasion|dc=14}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I just keep believing I can be better. I hope you will do the same.|tags=Dark Urge}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Seek the name the boy refuses to reveal.'' |tags=Detect Thoughts}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I'm just like Orpheus?}} (if mind read) | |||
* {{Dialogue option|It wasn't kindness. Vlaaketh needs every sword against the ''ghaik'', even yours.|tags=Githyanki}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|Empathy is a tool in any good hunter's arsenal - no different to a notched arrow.|tags=Ranger}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|Your teacher has forgotten what truly makes a warrior.|tags=Fighter}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|Like Orpheus? ''Show the boy the chapter you stole.''}} (if slate was stolen) | |||
Varrl reveals he meant to say Prince {{CharLink|Orpheus}}. If showing him the slate from the Arcane Tower, he hands over the second '''Engraved Githyanki Disc''' {{SmRarityItem|Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part Two: Sacrifice}}. | |||
=== Moonrise Towers === | |||
[[File:Balthazar Slate Quest.jpg|thumb|The Moonrise Towers slate.]] | |||
The third and final '''Engraved Githyanki Disc''' {{SmRarityItem|Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part Three: Resurrection}} is at [[Moonrise Towers]]. It can be retrieved as part of {{Quest|Infiltrate Moonrise Towers}} when the party gains access to the upper floor. The slate is on a bookshelf in {{CharLink|Balthazar|Balthazar's}} room {{Coords|-127|-182}}. The party can either lockpick the door or gain the key from Disciple {{CharLink|Z'rell}}. | |||
=== The Fate of Prince Orpheus === | |||
The party can learn the fate of Prince Orpheus at the start of [[Act Three]], during {{Quest|Help Your Protector}}. After finishing the quest, {{Quest|Free Orpheus}} is initiated. | |||
