The party needs to pick up the corpse and bring it back to the Mind Flayer | * [[Ferg Drogher]] is particularly apropos for this as he walks away to tattle on Shadowheart. | ||
Previously existing corpses will also work. Some options include: | |||
* [[Dead Refugee]] near the Ironforge Gnome hideout {{coords|45|66}} | |||
* Murdered Refugee in the Well in front of Sword Coast Couriers | |||
* [[Brilgor]] buried behind the {{coords|-106|-19|Open Hand Temple}} | |||

* [[Ffion Goldgrind]] on the upper levels of {{coords|-13|76|Fraygo's Flophouse}} | |||
The party needs to pick up the corpse and bring it back to the mind flayer, to be rewarded with one skill point for the [[illithid powers]] tree. If the mind flayer is fed, it will leave the windmill after a long rest. It will later re-appear in the [[Lower City]], killing a couple of NPCs. The mind flayer can still be killed for its brain after giving it a corpse, but consuming it at this point will not grant an additional illithid skill point. | |||
Feeding the mind flayer earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Events]] '''Unexpected Parenting''' ([[Haunted One]] background) and '''Newfound Subject''' ([[Noble]] background). [[Oath of the Ancients]] Paladins will break their oath if this option is chosen. | |||
If the mind flayer is persuaded to get its own meal, it simply leaves the windmill to go hunt, with no further reward. | |||
