He tells you that in the middle of Act I,
the first opportunity we have to kill the Emperor occurs after one of the chosen has been killed, weakening their power over the Elderbrain mumble mumble keeping the tadpoles in stasis, without total control we begin having psychic episodes related to our previously arrested transformation, there’s even a recently birthed mind-flayer in a windmill who has been transformed at this stage.
Even so, while you're correct, there is still no real reason to distrust him.
He has been proven to have protected the gang and that even when posing as the Dream Visitor, he has been telling the truth, even if not all of it (which is something he even says as the Visitor, that he can't tell much more due to the sensitive nature of the information). He has never lied about anything - even if you think withholding information counts as that, it doesn't.
the original command is brainwashing them into blind obedience to their new god, something we never underwent I’m not sure that needs to be reapplied. Though certainly the tadpoles probably link then to the hivemind they’ve been told is communing with the Absolute. And what is the purpose of Ascention?
If mere proximity to the relic were enough to do this to the chosen, there would be no hiding that from them throughout the acts, like during our vetting by Zrell. But I really don’t know
I am not sure what you are saying here. Could you please clarify as to what you are replying here?
