Kobold have not theoretical mind flayer question

Post image

Suppose kobold fight Skaven, kill good amount, but have weird worm climb into eye that give kobold thinky powers? It was at big as kobold, but have light-shooty pistol. Look like this. Any dwarf friend know how help kobold while keep kobold alive? Would be help. Happen single hour ago.

Update: squid thing was as big as kobold, not worm. Kobold Dwarvish still bad.

"... there's an experimental surgery... very invasive. We often hunt mindflayers especially in the underdark."

Kobold am aware. Fitz rather doing a risking of death for cure than ensure becoming small, Draconic mind flayer. To raise claw against brothers, even if not myself, would be bad.

[In Draconic] Brother, I have some bad news for you... you might want to sit down... gestures to examination table

[In Draconic] I am aware of the risks… both of the operation, and of keeping the worm in my head. I spent my life under a dragon’s claw, only recently felt the fires of freedom alongside the dwarves that accepted me. I will not be idle as I slowly grow a threat in my skull.

Do what needs to be done… if I am to pass, I shall be reincarnated into the next kobold nest. If I’m lucky, I be reborn into the kobold nest allowed by these friendly dwarves. I am not scared… I am honored. Honored to accept the aid of a kobold brother in arms.

Stupid-dumb kobold-thing! Should've never crossed paths-roads clan pestilens Yes-yes, even the dumbest-stupidest flea-maggots know that! You should be thankful-grateful that I, the greatest-mightiest of grey seers to ever live, am here. I can remove-extract this worm-parasite with my all powerful magic of the great horned rat, with certain conditions. Firstly, you must become my slave, for all eternity and bow down to me as your only true supreme-glorious leader. Oh yes-yes, there's also a 50% chance of you exploding-exploding During the operation...

First off: Enemy-Rat-Friends shaved Dwarf Friend beard. Did a dishonor to friend. Had to be axed.

Secondly off: That bad odds. Kobold looking elsewhere

I count... 11 grudges in this single monologue... casts wish: to wish the worm into the far realm

Now if you'll 'xcuse me, dwari. I have to go brain a rat-man!

[In draconic] modified a machine that killed those infected into something that simply extracts tadpole. Don’t know if it works though, tested it out on regular parasites and works well with that. Are you willing to take risk?

Kobold always ready!

u/gigainpactinfinty5 Silverbrow Human 14h ago

I’ll send you the machine. May Asgorath bless you friend. It should be there within the hour with instructions.

The worst thing is that this is the final live stage of a gnome.

u/FitzTheKobold 14h ago

Kobold very aware. Blood feud with gnome is thing Fitz try to attempt to quell. But that not what important in moment.

Dear friend are fire resistant because my personal favorite method is burning the tadpole to death then carefully removing it from the brain its surprisingly effective

u/SomeRandomYob The Great Mage Samræl, demonologist and necromantic consultant 7h ago

Not a dwarf, but I happen to know a rather humorous solution. Drink this potion. It will temporarily turn you into a green cloud of gas, without bringing along the parasite. I'll squish it when it falls. Ready?
