[[ | [[Tadpoling Centre]] is a roughly-round room filled with [[Mind Flayer Pod]]s; some contain non-hostile humanoid characters, including Zevlor ([[Find Zevlor]] quest), while others contain [[mind flayers]]. A [[Neural Apparatus]] at {{Coords|689|17}} gives the player a choice between purging all of the pods (illithid and humanoid alike) and opening them all. | ||
If the player chooses to purge the pods, Zevlor will die; if they open the pods, they must fight several mind flayers and intellect devourers (though the newly-freed NPCs will fight alongside the player, providing significant aid.) | If the player chooses to purge the pods, Zevlor will die; if they open the pods, they must fight several mind flayers and intellect devourers (though the newly-freed NPCs will fight alongside the player, providing significant aid.) | ||

The left | Mizora's pod has its own controls. The left is "annihilate," the right is "unleash", each requires {{Ability check|Arcana|10}} to decipher its function. If the player decides to free Mizora and Wyll is in the party, the cambion may reward them ({{Ability check|Persuasion|14}} required), giving Wyll the [[Infernal Rapier]], a unique Very Rare weapon. '''Important: Killing Mizora via the "annihilate" button results in Wyll dying as well'''. | ||
Interacting with the brine pool near Mizora ({{Ability check|Perception|16}}) yields a [[Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen]]. | Interacting with the brine pool near Mizora ({{Ability check|Perception|16}}) yields a [[Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen]]. | ||
