Note that the corpses of any characters killed by being shoved off of the boats can be found washed up on the beach at the [[Decrepit Village]] afterward.

If Nere is convinced, he says dying for mind flayer filth isn't worth it. He thanks the party for saving him from something worse than the duergar. After rewarding the party, he leaves and prays he doesn't meet the party again.
