Slythe

Slythe (pronounced sly-th, not sly-thy) is one of two assassins hired by Sarevok to kill Duchess Liia Jannath and Duke Belt in the seventh and final chapter of Baldur's Gate. He can be found in the Undercellar with his wife and partner Krystin. They are supposed to meet a group of Doppelganger assassins at a sewer entrance that leads to the Duchal Palace on the night of Sarevok's coronation, slip into the party, and wait for the moment to strike. Killing Slythe and Krystin will not stop Sarevok's plot but it does gain the player an invitation to the coronation.

Slythe has a ring of Blur equipped though it cannot be looted from his body. The ring causes all attacks against him to suffer a -3 penalty and gives him +1 to saving throws. Slythe also has a Ring of Free Action which prevents him from being entangled or having his movement hampered in any way. This ring cannot be looted either.
