...Omeluum specificly tells us that while trying to chirurgicaly remove the tadpole, we would not survive the outcome ...
Surviving removal isn't the issue. I think it is pretty clear we wouldn't survive. But why can't we simply be raised after dying is the unanswered question. I get that people don't want to voluntarily die. But if you had a discussion similar to writing one's will.. "If I die in the coming days, what do I want you to do?" You could tell you companions to go grab volo and have him pull that tadpole out of your corpse at any cost before raising you. Lazel would certainly choose that option.
It frustrates me that there are all these conversations about "What will you do if I start to turn", but no one thinks to talk about "What will you do if I die in the next encounter". The story has been written for a world that isn't the forgotten realms. Revivify, raise dead and resurrection exist for a reason. Party members "die" in combat all the time in a typical D&D campaign. If someone falls and the party isn't high enough in level to raise their own dead, they typically go to the nearest temple and "make a donation" to have the priests raise them.
But again, there isn't an issue really... but people will think there is one if it isn't made clear. All it would take would be a discussion with Gale where the pc suggests removing the tadpole if they fell before being raised and let Gale explain to them why that isn't possible. No more wondering. But that is big budget and not reliable as not everyone will choose to travel with Gale. So a book makes sense IMO.
By similar thinking, the conversation with Omelum may never happen...
Thanks for the discussion. Still welcoming any other feedback or suggestions.
