If the party chooses to spare Orpheus and become a [[Mind Flayer]] themselves, then Orpheus will speak to them as part of the epilogue. He commends the player character for choosing to make such a sacrifice to defeat the Nethebrain, and promises that they will not be forgotten. Alternatively, if Orpheus chose to become a Mind Flayer he will demand that the party kill him, though passing a DC20 Persuasion check will avoid this.
