The player has several opportunities to attack Omeluum during dialogue, and some [[Companions]] might actually suggest it. If the player listens to Omeluum they will learn that it is a rogue member of its society who was born with special powers that allow it to resist the control of the [[Elder Brain]] of its colony. Omeluum feeds on the brains of cruel and sadistic creatures of the Underdark, and wishes to help the Illithid society by discovering a brain-free diet. | The player has several opportunities to attack Omeluum during dialogue, and some [[Companions]] might actually suggest it.

Should the player accept the [[Help Omeluum investigate the parasite]] quest and bring Omeluum the required ingredients, it will attempt to remove the tadpole. Omeluum will not only fail, but also make the tadpole more powerful (granting whomever drank the potion [[Survival Instinct]]).

Unable to bring the issue to a close, Omeluum will then offer the player the [[Ring of Mind-Shielding]], which can limit the powers of the tadpole. The player can either buy this ring or convince Omeluum to give it to them by PERSUADING (DC 15), INTIMIDATING (DC 20), or proposing to describe the inner structure of a Nautiloid. The latter demands either a DC 10 INTELLIGENCE check and has an Advantage if the player has read a relevant [[Rune Slate]] while being on the ship in the Prologue, or a DC 10 PERFORMANCE check. | |||
After passing the ring to the player by any possibility, Omeluum will become open for trading with the party. He has several unique items in stock, such as [[Ring of Salving]], [[Pearl of Power Amulet]] and Rare [[Creation's Echo]] Quarterstaff. | |||
