I don't think they realizes what Withers is for a really long time. And besides there is nothing that implies killing them will remove the thing from their brains, there is nothing that implies the tadpole will be destroyed. Only that if they are dead then the tadpole can't turn them to mindflayer was it? But there is nothing strongly implies if they got revived the tadpole won't come with them.Scrolls of rivivfy yes but the scroll of true resurrection is canonically something gale has on hand and withers is also a figure that is part of the overarching story.
Are our tadpoles more special then others? I was under the impression ours were the same as every other true soul. I ask cause other true souls can have there brain worms ripped out immediately after death (The first true soul has theirs crawl out of their body near immediately after he dies, and you can choose to destroy it or consume it). The party is the only group whom seem bound to their worms even in death and it's a canonical way to stop cerimorphsis is to destroy the head/brain and then revive the corpse using higher tier resurrection. Which true resurrection and withers definitely count as.
I brought up people messing with you tadpole because papa neir brought up our companions worrying about playing with them causing early onset ceremorphsis, something they never seem concerned with when everyone else plays with the tadpole. More as mentioned no other true soul ever undergoes such a process even when the worm is destroyed or removed so it'd be a weird fear to have.
The game never says death and revival wouldn't work assuming that tadpole is destroyed, in fact with what we're presented it seems like it should. Immediately after death most parasite seem to flee the body. And even failing that the tadpoles can be destroyed after death (You can choose to do so upon finding your first tadpole, they're not mystically indestructible, nor do they seem soul bound to the people they're inserted into). It's just never brought up at any point in the story as a possible way to free yourself.
Like it's not the biggest deal but it's weird its never once even mentioned in the story at all when your group is willing to let a bard stick an ice pick through your eye in the vain hope it might work. They have at least one scroll of true resurrection on hand and a former god of death willing to pull them back from other planes (Theres even some special dialogue about them being on the other planes/mentioning they're unpleasant).
The tadpoles can be and are removed from other characters post death, either to be consumed or destroyed. Theres nothing, I know of that suggest destroying the tadpole and reviving someone after would bring back the tadpole beyond the fact your simply not allowed to try and the story never mentions it.
Except literally every other true soul that dies can have the brain worm removed and destroyed with zero issues, even moments after death. Literally the first tadpole you find in the wild can be eaten or destroyed after the true soul died. I can't stress enough your party is the only group incapable of having their brains worms removed post mortem. And gale can canonically die and be brought back with a true resurrection scroll. There is an entire mini quest around it.I don't think they realizes what Withers is for a really long time.

There is no reason to kill themselves.
Doctor Queer has already proven himself to be a coward, a dumbass and selfish, NONE of which tend to work out well for the people involved in Shadow Games which draw out people's true natures, especially against Atem.

The party doesn't ever learn what withers is, but he still is a feature of the story that allows for resurrection.
I think you misunderstand, I don't think killing them and instantly reviving them would work but there is no explanation I know of why when one of them is dead they can't yank out the tadpole which seems to flee the brain near immediately upon death (Like they do for every other true soul) and destroy it before casting true resurrection/asking withers to help. The story quite simply refuses to let you interact with your freinds tadpoles and never acknowledges the idea.
Youd think atleast gale would be tempted to try and use that true resurrection scroll to remove the tadpole but he never even mentions the idea.
...What? When I said flee I was referring to the first true soul you meet on the road to the blighted village, His worm exits through his nose iirc and your given the option to eat it or destroy it.But their tadpole are plastered on their head. I don't think it can run.
I don't think we know if all of those true souls have theirs stucked inside them too....What? When I said flee I was referring to the first true soul you meet on the road to the blighted village, His worm exits through his nose iirc and your given the option to eat it or destroy it.
So on death it's not like they're stuck inside the corpse and impossible to remove. (not that it would change anything in regards to using high level resurrection as you can safely pulp the brain entirely but still) You are quite simply disallowed from interacting with your companions worms in any way after death for no discernable reason despite literally every other true soul having removable worms.
Have you played the game? what makes a true soul a true soul is the tadpole. The tadpole your able to remove and consume. AFAIK there are no other true souls who lack a tadpole outside your main party. Your parties tadpoles aren't special in the context of the rest of the tadpoles in the game. Your all rocking the same netherease imbued mind parasites.I don't think we know if all of those true souls have theirs stucked inside them too.
What need to be done is that you need to stop making things up in your head and assume that is actually happening. This is why I said this is your usual antic.
And as I keep saying, you are no different than the SB you mock really.
There can be a Scroll of Revivify and True Resurrection, but only the casters that have the spell listed in their class can read and use it in the actual tabletop. Artificers, Clerics and Paladins can use Revivify. Clerics and Druids can use True Resurrection. Baldur’s Gate 3 everyone can use any scrolls.And it seems like you know this, but yes all of this doesn't work. None works. Killing themselves and then reviving won't work either. That and scroll of revivy may actually just be gameplay mechanic and not canonically exist.
