When placed on the Mind-Archive Interface within the [[Mind Flayer Colony]], the [[Slack-Skinned Head]] will speak using this brain.
*HmmMM... fine bones... sharp jaw... some variety of elf?
*Pretty enough for a flesh-prison - if not the noble githzerai features I was born with.
*I'd guess you're no willing guest of the ''ghaik'' either. Perhaps we might aid one another.

Reply: You called yourself ''githzerai''. Is that some kind of githyanki?
*Oh, for a set of hands to slap your face. The ''yanki'' lost their way the moment Gith threw down the ''Ghaik'' empire.
*Only we ''zerai'' continue the war to end the ''ghaik'' forever. Only ''we'' fight them on their own battlefield - the mind.

Reply: You're remarkably sane for a pickled brain.
*A githzerai's mind is not so easily cracked. Our discipline was the very reason we were attacked.
*My order taught a psionic technique much-feared by the ''ghaik''. They destroyed us for it, & kept me as a trophy.
*I never broke, but... I've spent all these centuries awake. ''Aware.'' So here is my offer.
*Use your tadpole. Erase me - and I will pass my technique onto you.

Reply: If you want my help, then tell me the truth. (Requires successful automatic {{Ability check|Insight}}.) 

* ...All right. I... the ''ghaik'' did not find my monastery. ''I led them there.''
* They promised me immortality. And they gave it - I have been their rotting trophy for ''centuries''. 
* ''Please'' - touch my mind, and purge it. The moment you do, my knowledge will be yours.
