[Spoilers]Anyone else tried to kill a certain person at the Creche?

The Guardian that is? If you did what was your reasoning?

I decided my character will trust Vlaakith to help the party given that he’s a cleric of Tiamat. Curious about other peoples reasons.

Edit: Clarifying. I’m talking about the dream guardian you create in the intro.

I don't think it'll go well for you, but I applaud your enthusiasm.

What guardian? The one that's just in a random room filled with corpses? I just killed it immediately as the game said that it was a non sentient spell. Was it actually a character?

Oh, it didn’t. After I killed the Gith the Guardian was like ‘You finally saw reason’ No, my friend, I didn’t see reason. They just tried to chop off my head. 😂

Unfortunately guardian is protected by plot armour.

Vlaakith is a woman and not a cleric of Tiamat :) She is an undead lich queen, and an archmage by the lore.

Yes, it’s my PC that’s a Cleric. I thought he would be into trusting clearly evil powerful entities so I went with her advice.

Ah that one. Yes I tried to kill it as the game gives you no reason to trust it and many reasons to suspect it is acting against you. Annoyingly the only dialogue option that allows you to do it presents it as if you were doing it because you were afraid of the githyanki, which deeply annoyed me.

And then it cheats you out of the kill anyway.

[Morgian]

That is a conundrum....would an evil character trust another evil being, knowing how treacherous he is himself?
Although in light of later revelations you have a point :)

Yup, big time. Though I’ve heard it’s possible to kill it later. With unfortunate results.

Interesting. What character are you playing?

[Devitancotia]

There is a dialog tree or path, the character can be leaning toward suspect and mistrust.

For good or not, a shrewd or highly intelligent character can choose to do Vlaakith's bidding as for that once at least, out of not trusting the guardian and their half truths.

I had disguised myself as a gith and I picked all the dialog options saying things like "Yes my queen, I will do as you command" or "I live only for the pleasure of serving you". That was after I had painted a mustache and monocle on her portrait, so in my headcanon my character was barely holding back her laughter.

Then I entered the prism and when the guardian asked me if I was going to kill her, I think my answer was literally "nah". Not what you were looking for, I know.

I was playing a CN drow leaning towards evil and I wouldn't do Vlaakith's just because I didn't feel like it, but also cause we already had found evidence that she was a big, fat phony.

Yup, for once as you put it. After that the evidence kinda points to she’s-trying-to-murder-you. Didn’t really get why though. Could have been interesting to work for her.

Probably not. I’m playing a low wisdom cleric :)
