Hee hee

Like my spooky crystal tree? It's like Illithid X-mas!

Sigil street-wash.

I thought of it before, but didn't make a point of it, but the hat was either knocked off or Daraz's concentration was, well, screwed. Daraz looks like Daraz, not Ech'Tev. Not much has really changed, except now he's bald (and bloody), and his clothes are darker.

Well, decide IC if Du'minh suspects Daraz, considering his actions, the situation, and the fact that he did look like a 'kind of zerai-ish looking githyanki' in the first place. For that matter so does Vivec. (SHRUGS)

Daraz has had quite a day: almost incinerated, almost disintigrated, and almost decerebrated in the span of a few hours.

My mind marks are homebrew.... :oops:

Players of yours, Azure?

N'Gar Ruff-Hraar (Sharp-Tooth Brother-Eater) and Nish Lahss, respectively. Other members of Blue Steel Merc Co.

So no going "Peace bro'" to the flind, then? :shock:

Trogs are an interesting race, I had fun exploring them when I ran Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. There's this rogue-cleric in the campaign whom I turned into a semi-recurring villian, and it struck me - how can trogs be stealthy with that stench? I gave him an obsession with cleanliness and regular use of an alchemical substance that neutralized the troggy odour.

Both are actually NPCs in my other PS game, though N'Gar Brother-Eater started off as an NPC in another campaign I ran too! I had an old Dragon Mag with "The Ecology of the Flind" I used to base him on. He was a mercinary captain of some Gnoll Longbowmen with four other flind Lt., {Thinking...} Hrook'Oor (Howls-with-throat), Nargrotarg (Black-cave-of-stone), Raag-Kraar (Render-of-hides), and Gr'Kroth (Crushes-skulls-with-anger). The jist of the article is that every gnoll tribe has a totem animal they mist hunt and kill to attain adulthood, with tribes whose totems are things like humans or elves are highly regarded. "Flind" is a modification of a gnollish word for "Canibal" because their totem animal is the gnoll (highest of all, of course).

Nish Lahss is a character based on Beyond Countless Doorways by M.Cook, an indep d20 book. 'The Lizard Kingdoms' are a world where dinosaurs and reptililian races never faltered in dominanace. Mammilian races are mostly primitive goblins, gully dwarves, and pigmy humans who hunt at night and hide during the day. Lizard Folk, Dire Kobolds, Firenewts, etc. have thriving societies that trade with formian hives. The Trogs, adapted to cool caves and mountains, are the newest rising power, refining metals and contoling trade through the mountain passes. As far as the smell goes, I figured Trogs have amazing control of their scent glands, just as they do of their camoflage. A trog could smell like roses if she was hiding in a rose bush. It just so happens that they've learned that if they smell like burning garbage, sh*t, and ripe carrion, humanoids tend to become incapacitated, and use that to their advantage in battle.

Mi casa est su casa.

You notice the DM just handed Daraz and Ya'shenn some candy. One of the worst aspects of the 3rd ed was the fewness of 'feats' characters get. I mean, there's like a million cool feats and they're still breeding! PCs should get, like, a dozen extra feats in little batches over time.

Du'minh and Ar'dru are fairly deserving too, so they're next when the time is right IC.

I can easily advance Rey'arteb by applying the vampire template. :mrgreen:

Well, I've been using it, but only in the context of psi. Lahar doesn't just know fire, he *knows* fire. Kii'dem *knows* hurt. That is the only context githyanki use the term, generally.

"Do not taunt Happy-Fun-Head."

The vampiric illithid head on a chain is from my local PS campaign (2ed) just as is Gy-Nath. He alluded earlier to taking out "The Thingpin" a criminal mastermind based in Bedlam which proved to be an illithid. "Thingpin" was double-crossed by an aboleth, and (somehow) turned vampiric. Gy-Nath tracked Thing down off-camera, and I decided it was more fun to have a caged head on a chain.
