My point exactly, the Dror Ragzlin outcome has two different options: you deceive, using the tadpole, the bugbear thus he doesn't kill your character or the mindflier awakes and out the player's toon as the killer, so to help the mindflier should have an impact even if the slightest (for example the gaith being alive and talking with Dror).

For an evil playstyle (one of the many ways an evil road can be followed) trying to ally with the mindfliers could be an option.
