"Hi, sorry to but in, but there is a mindflayer menace moving to control the Myconids to the east, if it gets a foothold there will be no chance to stop it taking over the area and ruining your little business here. For your sake and ours, please be reasonable."
Tori says to the Mephit
Persuasion: 20 (in game log)
Krakel pats Tori on the back casting guidance on her (persuasion skill), while saying āThatās an excellent point to make. This is a threat to the whole world/area.ā
(I went ahead and rolled the d4 in game log adding 4 to her persuasion attempt, 24 total.)
āOh oh uh illithids are bad for businessā¦ explains why the nasty rot shrooms have been dormant. Oh ah I donāt know, can your group really kill a mind flayer really? Oh crap youāre the best shot we have. Donāt make me regret this! Take any two of these things here Iām keeping one for myself. Just a loan, if you like it weāll see about a payment option. Ok ok choose and go kill the flayer or never come back!ā
The mephitās body is randomly growing icy spikes and cold is rolling off its body (nervous).
The ships delegates are watching your interaction and whispering to each other wringing their hands. āThis little dealer may have what we need for the Lady Saradie. An illithid is too much for you four thoughā¦ do you think this is something you can do? I canāt believe it but this is our greatest opportunity yet.ā
"The control pendant and the automaton are one item yes?" *Tori says confidently* "I think the ring of mind shielding and the automaton are or greatest shot. Most likely one of us wearing both so the mind flayer can't control the thing through one of us. What do you all think?"

āIt definitely seems like the guardian would be helpful. Itās even big enough Magoo or Lyra could probably ride it like a mount, haha.!ā Krakel replies. āIf I am remembering our studies in school on magical items correctly, Iām not sure that the āmind shielding ringā would actually protect against mind control. I believe it just keeps creatures from reading our minds, and Iām not sure if that is a major problem or not.ā
āI wonder if the magic missile pistol might be able to blast right through the Illthids defenses from a pretty long distance before we even engage it up close. Those missiles do direct damage.ā Kraken adds. āThese items seem like they could suit 2 of you well.ā
Turning to the diplomats, āDo you really fear our ability to conquer this challenge, Apollo is with us he shall guide our actions against this foul beast. I only wish the armory had contained some stronger armor. When we came on the Lady Saradie I only packed my traveling armor. Now it sure would be helpful to have my trusty old plate again.ā
"Oh good catch. I was just going by the title. I still like not having my thoughts read, but you're probably right that the weapon would be more useful. I can probably make plate armor for you with time and material" Tori mentions
To the diplomats, āNow is as good a time as any to deal with the mindflayer. We can and will do it.ā
To his companions, āThe magic missile pistol and automaton sound perfect. Although Iām not sure I would like to ride on it. If we can, Iād like a good nightās sleep before venturing back in. To be all rested and rejuvenated and all that.ā
To the mephit, āThank you for helping us defeat a common enemy. I hope there is additional business you can do with us,ā gesturing to the diplomats who appear to have found some good stuff for themselves.
What looks like a command is cleared of ice, chairs broken fixtures and random dim blinking lights even a humming sound creates a lulling environment in which to restā¦
After a handful of hours the time to head back comes around the laborers and diplomats have ventured to return to the Saradie.
Whomever controls the (shield guardian) cyborg gets a binding sense of what it can doā¦
Whomever takes the laser pistol may fire 1,2,or 3 (laser shots) at 1,2,or 3 targets 3x per rest.
The way back is quiet ominous as you arrive back at the tunnel entrance the 2 enhanced Hadozee are waiting
(So meta speaking, who should take which gear? Iām inclined to think the pistol should go to one of the stealthy people to maybe sneak up and blast with to weaken it from the start. the guardian might be most helpful to Magoo or Tori as they are both melee focused it seems like it could help tank hits and defend them. Iām totally open to whatever though.)
