[A thorough account of how best to protect your mind from illithid manipulation and subsequent domination.]
When dealing with mind flayers, remember that it is in their nature to assess the utility, strengths, and weaknesses of those around them, and to manipulate in order to get what they want.
The best countermeasure you can take against a mind flayer is simply to avoid it. Any attempts to outsmart it will fail. If that is not an option, then there are three things to remember that may just save your mind:
1.Pay attention to its actions, not its words. Where mind flayers are concerned, it is true that actions speak louder than words. Especially words that are tailor-spoken to fit a mind flayers’ manipulative agenda.
2. Strengthen your relationship with others. The greatest thing you can do to offset a mind flayer’s designs upon you is to have allies, strong allies. Trust in those you know you can trust, and build your relationships with them – they are the ones who will have your back when you most need it.
3. Even mind flayers have wants and desires. The only circumstance in which a relationship with a mind flayer may be beneficial to you is if you both want exactly the same thing. In the unlikely case that this is true, bear in mind that once you have outlived your purpose to a mind flayer, it will have no use for you.
