The only thing i remember being told is one of the characters mentioning that we should have already turned...or already started showing signs of turning. Anyhow, that's all i really wanted to know. Just wanted to make sure resting in camp wasn't running down a timer. Thanks
No. this is totally different sort of ceremorphosis. In standard Mindflayer Ceremorphosis the tadpole consumes your brain in a matter of hours and then starts transforming your body. After a week you are a newborn Mindflayer, which then requires 20 years to mature and train.
This ceremorphosis is different where it doesn't consume your brain at all but seems to instead turn you into a type of sleeper agent. I expect what we saw with the first trailer is very much going to happen in Baldur's Gate, where
at some sort of signal or magical trigger - hundreds or maybe thousands of people will suddenly be turned into mindflayers.
This seems to also bypass the need to raise and educate the newly formed mindflayers
.
