The next step in the quest occurs after [[Help Your Protector]]. Now revealed as [[the Emperor]], an illithid, he implores the party to also embrace their potentials as illithids. He grants an [[Astral-Touched Tadpole]] that turns a user into a half-illithid. The tadpole has enough power to be used on all camp members. | The next step in the quest occurs after [[Help Your Protector]].

The Astral-Touched Tadpole can be used at any time with the player character, | The player character can commune with the Astral-Touched Tadpole immediately upon receiving it from the Emperor, or try to refuse -- though if they have used any parasite specimens already, they must pass a DC 21 Wisdom check to reject it. A successful refusal still results in the player character receiving the Astral-Touched Tadpole as an inventory item. | ||
The Astral-Touched Tadpole can be used at any time with the player character; doing so gives options to consume the tadpole, commune with it (if that has not already happened) or destroy it. Destroying the tadpole ends the quest. | |||
While the player character can use the tadpole at will, companions must be convinced. At camp or in the party, a new dialogue option is presented: | |||
