* The mind flayer revealed itself as none other than our Dream Visitor. It is a rogue illithid, and just like us, it wishes to be free of the elder brain's domination.

Once the party makes it to the Astral Plane, the [[Dream Guardian]] calls out and asks for help, explaining they are under attack. The party is attacked by two Gish'ra - High Gish'ra Sh'ari and Ember Gish'ra Mir'ic - while being aided by nine [[Intellect Devourer]]s. On another rock is High Gish'ra K'i'lar fighting against five [[Intellect Devourer]]s. Proceed to the skull, where a mind flayer is fighting against several Gish'ra warriors. The mind flayer reveals that it is indeed the one who appeared in your dreams and, if asked, recollects events that happened during the party's adventures. If the party agrees to help it, they must defeat Prelate [[Lir'i'c]], High Gish'ra [[G'imre]], Ember Gish'ra [[M'i'hayk]], and Zephyr Gish'ra [[Verik]]. If the party insists on attacking the Emperor they must fight it ''and'' the Gish'ra, though the two factions of enemies will attack each other as well. | Once the party makes it to the [[Astral Plane]], the [[Dream Guardian]] calls out and asks for help, explaining they are under attack.

After the battle, the party learns that the power used to protect them from the Absolute is stolen from the Githyanki Prince [[Orpheus]], who is trapped by infernal chains in the Astral Prism. The mind flayer, also known as [[The Emperor]], was tasked to acquire the Prism as an agent of the [[Elder Brain]], but got free from its control once within the prism's shield. | After the battle, the party learns that the power used to protect them from the Absolute is stolen from the Githyanki Prince [[Orpheus]], who is trapped by infernal chains in the Astral Prism.

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 alongside 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 Lord [[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 finally explains its story after the battle.

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 every party member who communes with it into a [[Partial-illithid]]. If one party member eats it (and it can only be eaten once), only this party member is transformed. Although the Emperor urges them to consider it, the party can either agree or refuse. | The Emperor tells the party they would be stronger as an illithid, and the already consumed tadpoles have made them stronger.
