Ask the Goblin Priestess for Help Objectives

Find the goblin priestess

• We learned that a goblin tribe is led by a priestess with powerful magic. Dealing with goblins is risky, but this might be one way to cure ourselves.

Follow Priestess Gut

• We decided to trust Priestess Gut. If we follow her to her chapel, she'll examine the parasite.

Drink Priestess Gut's potion

• Now that we have some privacy, Priestess Gut is prepared to assist us. All we need to do is drink a potion.
   

 Quest Complete Descriptions

• We were drugged and imprisoned by Priestess Gut. She hopes that we'll turn into mind flayers so she can study us. We need to get out of here - now.
• Priestess Gut might have been able to help us, but being a goblin proved to be fatal for her. We'll need to find another way to remove the parasite.
• We've been marked as enemies of the Absolute - there's no way Priestess Gut will help us now.
• We repelled Priestess Gut's mental probe. Not capable of understanding what ailed us, she told us she couldn't help.
• We left the area without seeing if the goblin priestess could heal us.
