Dialogue[edit | edit source]
When placed on the Mind-Archive Interface within the Mind Flayer Colony, the Slack-Skinned Head will speak using this brain.
- HmmMM... fine bones... sharp jaw... some variety of elf?
- Pretty enough for a flesh-prison - if not the noble githzerai features I was born with.
- I'd guess you're no willing guest of the ghaik either. Perhaps we might aid one another.
Reply: You called yourself githzerai. Is that some kind of githyanki?
- Oh, for a set of hands to slap your face. The yanki lost their way the moment Gith threw down the Ghaik empire.
- Only we zerai continue the war to end the ghaik forever. Only we fight them on their own battlefield - the mind.
Reply: You're remarkably sane for a pickled brain.
- A githzerai's mind is not so easily cracked. Our discipline was the very reason we were attacked.
- My order taught a psionic technique much-feared by the ghaik. They destroyed us for it, & kept me as a trophy.
- I never broke, but... I've spent all these centuries awake. Aware. So here is my offer.
- Use your tadpole. Erase me - and I will pass my technique onto you.
Reply: If you want my help, then tell me the truth. (Requires successful automatic 
Insight check.)
- ...All right. I... the ghaik did not find my monastery. I led them there.
- They promised me immortality. And they gave it - I have been their rotting trophy for centuries.
- Please - touch my mind, and purge it. The moment you do, my knowledge will be yours.
