<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* We were drugged and imprisoned by Priestess Gut. She hopes that we'll turn into mind flayers so she can study us. We need to get out of here - now.
* Priestess Gut might have been able to help us, but being a goblin proved to be fatal for her. We'll need to find another way to remove the parasite.
* We've been marked as enemies of the Absolute - there's no way Priestess Gut will help us now.
* We repelled Priestess Gut's mental probe. Not capable of understanding what ailed us, she told us she couldn't help.
* We left the area without seeing if the goblin priestess could heal us.

== Walkthrough ==
[[Priestess Gut]] {{Coords|297|-18}} is in front of the giant throne immediately north of the front entrance of the [[Shattered Sanctum]] in the [[Goblin Camp]]. She offers to brand the party with the [[Brand of the Absolute]], which can be accepted or rejected. Regardless of whether the brand is taken or not, Gut recognizes the party as fellow True Souls. She attempts to probe into the party's minds with her illithid powers. Allow her to do this, and she notices something is amiss. Explain that it's the result of the tadpoles and ask if she can help. Gut says that the party should join her in her private chambers. Blocking her mental probing results in Gut saying she cannot help the party.

Follow her to her chambers, where she says she has a cure for the tadpole. She says that a special cleansing potion must be taken first. However, an [[Arcana]] check reveals this is a [[sleeping potion]]. If she's called out on this, or if the party member in question is resistant to sleeping potions (ie a [[drow]], [[elf]] or [[half-elf]]), she becomes hostile and also triggers several nearby goblins to become hostile. 

However, if the potion is taken (and works), she chains up the party member and says she intends for them to become her pet squid. 

It's possible to break free with either an [[Acrobatics]] or a [[Strength]] check, but a special scene plays if nothing is done at all. Wait, and [[Korrilla Hearthflame|Korrilla]] appears from a portal to assassinate both Gut and her Ogre guard. Then she disappears after a brief conversation, warning the party to be more careful.

== Attitudes ==
* Once you have followed True Soul Gut to her private chambers, you can still refuse her offer and get Shadowheart's approval. If you have a change of mind again, you can still accept the offer to get Karlach's approval and Astarion's disapproval.
