'''Find Mimic's Blood for Jermien the Cowled Wizard''' is a side quest which can be started in [[Umar Hills]] village of [[Imnesvale]].

==Pair of love birds==
A young man named [[Daar]] is in love with a mage’s daughter [[Colette]], but her father [[Jermien]], who was a member of [[Cowled Wizard]], is building a golem to separate them.

==Retrieving the Mimic's Blood ==
Enter [[Jermien's Home]] just north of [[Minister Lloyd]]'s house and talk to the [[mage]], ask him about his creation and agree to find a [[Mimic's Blood]] for him. 

Exit the house and proceed to the [[Umar Cave]] to the northwest, which is below the slope of [[Valygar's Cabin]].

Enter the cave and find the creature, which appears as a treasure chest amidst a pile of loot.  For a specific overview of this mimic see the [[Killer Mimic (Shadows of Amn)|Killer Mimic]] page.

The creature will activate when a party member is in detection range of the "treasure chest" - slay the creature for {{XP|3000}} and loot its blood but take care in case the party member is affected by a [[Mimic Glue]] attack. 
{{Side note|The Mimic must be able to detect a party member in order to attack/activate.  A hidden, sanctuaried or invisible party member won't be detected.}}

Two [[Umber Hulk|umber hulks]] can also be found in northern part of the cave and dealt with for {{XP|4000}} each. Skeleton Warriors may also be found in the cave.

==Activating the golem==
Return to Jermien with the Mimic's blood.

{{note|It is possible to kill Jermien without [[Reputation]] loss before giving him the mimic's blood. He is worth {{XP|4000}} and carries {{Gp|4000}} and [[Ilbratha]]. However, you will miss the XP awarded for the quest, and Colette will turn hostile.}}

Give the mimic's blood to Jermien, and the party will split {{XP|19250}}. Jermien will be very happy and reward you with [[Ilbratha]], a [[Short swords|short sword]] that can provide valuable protections for front line [[warriors]].

But unfortunately, the [[Golems|golem]] goes rogue and you're forced into a fight.
*If Jermien is killed during combat, you only get {{XP|500}}.
*If Jermien survives, he'll realize that his past attempts to break the pair were a mistake, and the [[party]] splits {{XP|21250}} for achieving a happy ending.

*Journal Section: Quests

The following entry is added to the [[Journal]] upon starting the quest:

After delivering the blood and defeating the golem, the quest is completed with the addition of the following entry, titled, "The juggernaut golem activated":

<blockquote>''The Cowled Wizard Jermien used the mimic's blood I brought him to activate his juggernaut golem... only to have his creation turn on him.  I managed to kill it and save the wizard, for which he was quite thankful''</blockquote>

===Mods:===
*The [[Check the Bodies (CtB)]] mod, ''Ancient Library'' (or Drow Library) module begins inside this cave.  The first Pool of Water could be an entrance to another area and unknown adventure.

*The [[Golem Construction for Spellcasters]] mod adds dialogue and content to this quest, materializing later on inside Jermien's Home.  Dialogue options exist to learn how to build a Juggernaut Golem of your own, and to take over the cowled wizard's home and use it as a golem construction workshop.
