    Synopsis:

    Roles: No Compromise, At Any Cost, Bridge, Karlach , Orpheus Path Lae'zel

    All companions can fill all these roles, so the roles should not be seen as a hard stance in a debate, but the speakers to highlight the risks and options of the big decision. So player questions should remain open ended, asking for party feedback and not telling the party what they will do.

    No Compromise: Why they can't be the one to transform, the risks involved, can they trust the Emperor? Some sub nodes should have different reactivity in the case they are already partial illithid, or were open to using the powers but never did

    At Any Cost: Why the player needs to be the one to transform, why these decisions may be necessary, the stakes at hand
    Bridge: The bridge between the two other topics, to facilitate the and direct the discussion and return the questions back to the player.

    Karlach: The only one who can take the players place as the party Mind Flayer. With three companions, she replaces the bridge in most cases. Two companions she replaces the At Any Cost.

    Orpheus Path Lae'zel:Always in the "No Compromise" speaker slot, her only mission is to save Orpheus. If the player decides to allow Orpheus to be assimilated, she will interect with a high possibility of leaving the party and fighting the player if they refuse to change their mind.

    This dialog is about the avatar and what they should do, but the decision is not made here as it's possible the player can change their mind when they return to gameplay or talk to the Emperor. This is a discussion of their available options, their feelings towards them, and why the player needs to be the one to transform (exception being Karlach).

    Their is a risk the player may feel sour towards their team for the perceived cowardice, as almost all of them are not willing to transform. This dialog will need to sell why the player is the hero of this story.
