The Emperor finally explains its story after the battle. It was once an adventurer just like the party, living in Baldur's Gate. Eager to do more, the Emperor went to [[Moonrise Towers]] in search of treasure and was captured by the Mind Flayer colony below, where he was transformed into a Mind Flayer. For years, the Emperor served the Elder Brain, which is now known as the Absolute, as a thrall like any other, but it was able to break free and return to Baldur's Gate. The Emperor lived in the shadows, feeding on criminals' brains and worked alongside Duke [[Belynne Stelmane]] as the governing force behind the [[Knights of the Shield]]. Those who knew it called it the Emperor, for its role in the Knights. However, the Emperor's identity was found out by Lord [[Enver Gortash]] who forced it back into servitude for the Elder Brain. After being sent on a mission to retrieve the Astral Prism, it broke free and set out on a mission to take down the Elder Brain. | The Emperor finally explains its story after the battle.

The Emperor tells the party they would be stronger as an illithid, and the already consumed tadpoles have made them stronger. It gives them an [[Astral-Touched Tadpole]] that can transform every party member who communes with it into a [[Partial-illithid]]. If one party member eats it (and it can only be eaten once), only this party member is transformed. Although the Emperor urges them to consider it, the party can either agree or refuse. | The Emperor tells the party they would be stronger as an illithid, and the already consumed tadpoles have made them stronger.

Although the Emperor urges them to consider it, the party can either agree or refuse; if the player character consumed any tadpoles prior to this, refusing requires a DC 21 Wisdom Check. | ||
