Edowin

Edowin is a True Soul of the Absolute. He is searching the Wilderness for survivors of the Nautiloid Wreck alongside his fellow believers Andrick and Brynna. They are ultimately looking for a weapon.

Involvement

Act One

Edowin is found in the Forest at X: 139 Y: 446 dying from wounds sustained from an Owlbear attack. When approaching and starting a conversation with his siblings, his tadpole will connect with that of the player character. He asks the player character to protect his siblings, Andrick and Brynna. Eventually Edowin dies from his wounds, and cannot be saved by healing.

When he has died, the voice of the Dream Visitor will prompt the player character to look closer at his body. The voice encourages the player character to recover a Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen from within Edowin.

If the player character successfully resists being forced to collect the tadpole, the tadpole attempts to flee and will rush down the hill and disappear through the duration of one environmental turn. Turn-based mode can be entered quickly after interacting with Edowin's corpse to allow you to attack the loose tadpole. This will grant 10 Experience.
