Here's my main problem. It's not too late to turn back. We've killed one vampire master like 5 minutes ago, we can certainly kill another. We're defying the inevitability of an Illithid transformation. We're going against the will of gods.

...but somehow we are trapped in a relationship? Seriously? So very trapped that if we ask, once, the relationship ends? That's the opposite than the definition of trapped.
