The Emperor finally explains | The Emperor finally explains its story after the battle. It was once an adventurer just like the party, living in Baldur's Gate. Eager to do more, the Emperor went to [[Moonrise Towers]] in search of treasure and was captured by the Mind Flayer colony below, where he was transformed into a Mind Flayer. For years, the Emperor served the Elder Brain, which is now known as the Absolute, as a thrall like any other, but it was able to break free and return to Baldur's Gate. The Emperor lived in the shadows, feeding on criminals' brains and worked along Duke [[Belynne Stelmane]] as the governing force behind the [[Knights of the Shield]]. Those who knew it called it the Emperor, for its role in the Knights. However, the Emperor's identity was found out by [[Enver Gortash]] who forced it back into servitude for the Elder Brain. After being sent on a mission to retrieve the Astral Prism, it broke free and set out on a mission to take down the Elder Brain. | ||
The Emperor tells the party they would be stronger as an illithid, and the already consumed tadpoles have made them stronger. It gives them an Astral-Touched Tadpole that can transform the whole party into [[Partial-illithid]], or only the avatar should you choose to eat the tadpole. The party can either agree or refuse, though the Emperor urges them to consider it. | The Emperor tells the party they would be stronger as an illithid, and the already consumed tadpoles have made them stronger.
