(Undershore)
On hailing the Freemind Cipher in Undershore at loc -1500, -700, he will point to the budding mindspores that surround him.
Loot An Unhusked Mindspore looted from these chest-like mushrooms.
As you pluck an unhusked mindspore from the mushroom stalk, you are overcome with a sudden and inexplicable urge to eat it. It doesn't look poisonous, but you may want to gather a group in case you are about to blunder into some kind of trap.
Eat the Mindspore (right-click on it when it's in an open inventory slot). This will open up a task select dialog.
You have been assigned the task 'Way of the Freemind (1/2 Group)'.
Undershore: Speak with the Freemind Cipher
The Freemind Cipher wishes to show you another series of memories from the sporali collective.
These memories belong to a group of freemind spores, young sporali individuals who, unlike most of their kind, are born without the memories of their parent colony. Freemind spores are also cut off from the sporali collective mindpool, although they may still communicate telepathically with the Freemind Cipher, the elder that serves as the sporalis' guide and teacher. These memories originate from the Freemind's first few minutes of life, a time which seems filled with danger and peril.
Although it is still unclear why the Freemind Cipher wishes to show you these memories, the shambling growth does seem to be leading you to some kind of conclusion.
Hail the Freemind Cipher.
You say, 'Hail, Freemind Cipher'
Your task 'Way of the Freemind (1/2 Group)' has been updated.
Your surroundings grow indistinct and you no longer feel the mist of the nearby waterfall on your neck. You slowly realize you are in a different body, awakening into a another cavern in another time. . .
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Sporali Caverns.
You see this emote:
'Hello, little freespores,' the Freemind Cipher says, 'How quiet your minds must be.'
Your minds are quiet because you do not belong to the sporali mindpool. You can think on your own, independently of the colony that spawned you.
This is both a blessing and a curse... A blessing because it enables you to venture away to seed new colonies, a curse because you all must do so on your own.
Freeminds such as yourselves are only spawned when a colony is under great stress. This is how we sporali spread out to avoid extinction. Normally it is my responsibility to communicate with the newly spawned freeminds and teach them how to gather and grow, but there is no time for that now. We are under [attack] and must leave here at once.
Sporali Caverns: Speak with the Freemind Cipher
Talk to the Freemind Cipher.

Sporali Caverns: Fight Your Way Past the Invading Orcs with the Freemind Cipher
You see this emote:
The deep orcs are upon us. They are ransacking this colony for resources. Come my children, gather your strength follow me. Together, we'll make our escape into the wilds.
Talk to the Freemind Cipher (Undershore).
You are in a Monster Mission, and play one of three 45th level sporali types: Paladin, Cleric, or Wizard. Just like other Monster Missions, you should quickly spend your monster AA points accordingly, and make hotkeys of your monster abilities. You will have to help the Freemind Cipher fight the Guttertusk orcs as it leads you to freedom. If you die, you are out of play for a minute but come back with full health and mana.
Along the way, the Freemind Cipher will give you backstory or encouragement..
Freemind Cipher shouts 'A fallen warrior! Do not mourn him for all of its memories live on in the survivors it saved.'
Freemind Cipher shouts 'The Guttertusk raids have grown frequent and fierce over the last few years. None have the strength to control their orc slaves. Many orcs have gone free, leaving us to handle their raids.'
Freemind Cipher shouts 'This combat is good practice for you, my children. Things will not be easy out in the wilds. Many dangerous creatures lurk in the tunnels of Darkhollow. '
Freemind Cipher shouts 'Out in the wilds, you must learn to think for yourselves. Choose your allies wisely and you may live to one day form a colony of your own.'
Freemind Cipher shouts 'We are almost clear of these tunnels. Have courage, my children.'
Freemind Cipher shouts 'The last of the orcs wait just ahead.'
..until you finally see:
Freemind Cipher shouts 'There it is. The tunnel to Corathus Creep! Once we escape into the wilds, you will each choose your own direction and scatter like seeds in the wind. Good luck to you all, my children.'
Two of "a glittering warchest" will spawn, one after the other. /open them for your loot, one item per chest. The common loot is Fingerless Silk Gloves, and the rare is Bauble of the Colony.
Fingerless Silk Gloves transmute to:
? (level 1-10), Darkpalm Gloves (level 11-20), Whispering Gloves of Sorcery (level 21-30), Gently Stitched Silk Gloves (level 31-40), Ragged Holloweave Gloves (level 41-50), Holloweave Gloves (level 51-60), Enchanted Holloweave Gloves (level 61-70).

Speak with the Freemind Cipher
Zone out and you will be back in Undershore.
Hail the Freemind Cipher.
You absorb the knowledge stored within the shard of wisdom.
You gain experience!!
For a long moment you get the sensation your legs are asleep although the feeling radiates across your entire body. The Freemind Cipher looks at you expectantly. It hopes that you now know what it means to be a freemind. Now you can help it further.

Bauble of the Colony
