Us: Difference between revisions

Us can be found trapped inside the head of Myrnath, who is strapped to a chair with the top of his skull removed. The player can find them taking the elevator in the second room aboard the Nautiloid. The player will have to pass an [[ability check]] to free it. When freed, it will initially start with the [[Newborn (Condition)|Newborn]] condition: temporarily lowering its max HP to 11 and its AC to 7. This only lasts a few turns, however.

If the player also passes the [[Dexterity]] ability check "Mutilate the brain.", Us will end up [[Lobotomised (Condition)|Lobotomised]], reducing their [[Intelligence]] from 12 to 8. This condition is permanent and cuts Us from the rest of the hive mind, allowing the player to attack other Intellect Devourers on the nautiloid without turning Us hostile. If you fail the dexterity check, Us will flee instead, turning it and all other Intellect Devourers hostile. The Dark Urge will have {{advantage}} SPLIT-SPLATTER! on this Dexterity check.

Once freed, Us will urge the player to head to the [[Prologue#Helm_Of_The_Nautilod|Helm Room]]. Options to either tell Us to go away, to attack it, or to ask it to join the party will present. Us will agree if asked to join.  

Us can later be found in the Morgue within the [[Mind Flayer Colony]]. It has been labelled an aberrant and as a result is caged. If you free it, you receive [[Summon Us]], allowing you to summon Us as an ally once per short rest. If Us died aboard the Nautiloid in Act One, it will not appear in the cage during Act Two.

After leaving the Mind Flayer Colony Us will remain with the player and mention that it will appear as a "kitty" to anyone besides the party.
