Escape the Nautiloid: Difference between revisions

** We met a githyanki named [[Lae'zel]]. She told us we can escape if we reach the ship's helm.

1. In the middle of the room there is a mind flayer "nursery" i.e. a pool filled with larvae. Upon interacting with it, you can [[Ability Check|Investigate]] it to determine that it's about to break apart. If you try to touch it, it explodes and causes a small amount of damage to your character. To the south of the nursery there is a dead mind flayer you can loot for a [[Spiked Bulb]].

2. Further south you can climb up to a small elevation in the room, where a dead [[Mind Flayer Thrall]] can be looted for a [[Scroll of Mage Armour]] and 3gp. Lying beside him is a [[Slave Mind]] --a human brain preserved in a jar-- that can be picked up, though it's unclear whether it has any use.

* [[Cartilaginous Chest]] containing a [[Potion of Healing]] and a [[Elixir of Fire Resistance]]

* A [[Caustic Bulb]] lying on a table  

* A second cartilaginous chest containing a bottle of [[Alchemist's Fire]] and a [[Grease Bottle]].

1. The dead bodies of three [[Lesser Imp|Lesser Imps]] will greet you in this room. Loot them for a [[Potion of Healing]] and a [[Scroll of Fire Bolt]]. Directly aside their bodies is a table on which you can find a caustic bulb, three [[Mucoid Shell|Mucoid Shells]], a [[Sodalite Shell]], and a [[Barbed Device]]. These are mostly junk items; only the bulb has a use. To the right, there's another table with an [[Illithid Record]] and a [[Hollow Shell]]. The shell is junk, but the record can be interacted with to reveal that it contains knowledge about [[Goblin]] culture.

2. Westwards and to the north of the room there is a table on which you can find an [[Eldritch Tablet]], an [[Illithid Manuscript]], and a [[Dark Mind]] (another brain in a jar). The tablet and manuscript can be interacted with just like the illithid record. The tablet contains knowledge about humanoid history (elves, dwarves, humans, etc.), and the manuscript seems to tell a story about "a brain, a githyanki warrior, and centuries of darkness".

3. In the middle of the room, a small elevator can get you to an upper section of the room. Here you will find a dying person sitting on a chair with their scalp removed, their exposed brain telepathically asking you for help. Otherwise, you can find here a pair of cartilaginous chests containing random loot.

In the room ahead, there are three lesser imps you need to defeat. This is most easily done with ranged sneak attacks. They will drop [[Handaxe]] and [[Light Crossbow]] as loots.

 

Other than that, you can loot a dead Mind Flayer in this room for two [[Void Bulb|Void Bulbs]] and a potion of healing, and another dead Mind Flayer who has been incinerated can be looted for a [[Potion of Speed]], a void bulb, and a caustic bulb.
