I used SB with 10 stack so it didnt take as long, banged a deepone by the sea witch's grounds, birthed a "human" and kept the kid in inventory. When I died it told me i could take over the childs live and start again, so i did. Now you go visit the sea witch, she has an additional line of dialog because shes calling you her daughter now. She tries to turn you into a deepone but fails and sends you off confused (that gives you the awaken skill but doesnt tell you)
I like the awaken form better but you cant talk to anyone in this form, aside from everyone wants to rape you, those that dont wont talk
