Quest stages of Help Omeluum Investigate the Parasite
1. Let Omeluum examine the parasite.
Talk to Blurg and tell him about your tadpole.
We mentioned the parasite to Blurg, a hobgoblin. His colleague, a mind flayer named Omeluum, offered to examine it. Perhaps it can cure us?
2. Ask Omeluum how to negate the tadpole's magic.
The mind flayer couldn't extract the parasite, but offered us a way to negate the magic protecting it.
3. Find the mushrooms Omeluum requested.
1. Talk to Omeluum and agree to whatever he proposes.
To help us, Omeluum requires a Tongue of Madness mushroom and some Timmask Spores. We can find both of these in the mysterious tower nearby.
2. You can get this information from Blurg.
The tower belongs to a cleric of Mystra named Lenore. She is fond of gardening and experimenting on plants such as the Sussur Tree.
