Aboleth

The Aboleth is a highly intelligent being with psionic-like powers - including the ability to mind read and communicate as a telepath. The amphibian is confined in a liquid filled tank on the western edge of the Ust Natha Bazaar platform near the entrance to the city. This evil and cunning creature controls a Duergar Slave, or 'servitor', to attend to its needs and assist with whatever machinations, schemes and plots being hatched by the odd creature. 
Perhaps the drow find amusement in hosting such a strange beast, or maybe they admire its abilities. It might possibly be an ambassador from another watery realm. For the time being, the Aboleth is here in a watery tank, on display for all to observe in Ust Natha.
== Gameplay ==
After rescuing Phaere from the Illithid task is complete, the Aboleth's duergar slave will initiate dialogue with the party if close enough. He will implore that the party speak with its 'master'. The slave will warn you that the 'fish' creature will take action against you if you do not do this, specifically saying:
"Come close to him, and he will speak to your mind. It is the way of his kind. Please do not tarry. He will announce an alarm to the city if you keep him waiting." 
The party has no real choice in this matter, because if they choose to ignore the Slave's warning, then it will come to pass in 24-hours that the illusionary disguise placed by Adalon the Silver Dragon will be removed, and the party will be recognized as intruders in Ust Natha. This leads to hostility from all drow and allied creatures in the city. At that point, the party cannot complete Adalon's quest, or other potential connected quests, and the adventures in the city are over. The party can only fight back, try and escape the city and attempt to figure a way forward to escape the Underdark on their own. Much potential experience and gameplay will be lost.
A safer and better way forward is to heed the Slave's warning and go to the Aboleth's tank and "hear" what is has to communicate to the party.
== Mod content ==
Installation of the Adalon's Blood Mod allows you to make some choices, and if you choose to ask the Silver Dragon for her blood (rather than not getting any at all or trying to slay her for it), she will promise to give you some - if you slay the Aboleth for her. The battle to get rid of this abomination of evil will take place in the Ust Natha Bazaar area, and trigger near the Aboleth's Tank.
