The player has several opportunities to attack Omeluum during dialogue, and some [[Companions]] might actually suggest it. Still, if the player listens to Omeluum they will learn that it is a rogue member of its society who was born with special powers that allow it to resist the control of the [[Elder Brain]] of its colony. Omeluum feeds on the brains of creatures of the Underdark 'that oppose the Society's goals', and wishes to help others of his kind by discovering a brain-free diet. | The player has several opportunities to attack Omeluum during dialogue, and some [[Companions]] might actually suggest it.

The recipe includes [[Tongue of Madness]] and [[Timmask Spores]], which both supposedly can be found in the Underdark. However, [[Blurg]] will interject and suggest that the player might very conveniently look them up in the [[Arcane Tower]] of a local cleric, [[Lenore De Hurst]]. | ||
Once the player brings Omeluum the required ingredients, it will attempt to remove the tadpole. Omeluum will not only fail, but also make the tadpole more powerful (granting whomever drank the potion [[Survival Instinct]]). The Mindflayer will be surprised and worried about the power of the tadpole, and will apologize for not being of service. | Once the player brings Omeluum the required ingredients, it will attempt to remove the tadpole.

Unable to bring the tadpole issue to a close, Omeluum will then offer the player the [[Ring of Mind-Shielding]], which can limit the powers of the larva. The player can either buy this ring or convince Omeluum to give it to them in several variants: by Persuasion check (DC 15, a githyanki Tav will have an unique dialogue line), Intimidation check (DC 20), or proposing to describe the inner structure of a [[Nautiloid]].

The latter demands either an Intelligence check (DC 10) which has an [[Advantage]] if the player has read a relevant [[Rune Slate]] while being on the ship in the Prologue, or a Performance check (also DC 10). | ||
After passing the ring to the player (by any available way), the quest [[Help Omeluum investigate the parasite]] will be complete, and Omeluum becomes open for trading with the party. He has several unique items in stock (see below). | After passing the ring to the player (by any available way), the quest [[Help Omeluum investigate the parasite]] will be complete, and Omeluum becomes open for trading with the party.
