    IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part VI

    Eligos would have advised that they appear to be immature mind flayer tadpoles. Once mature, they would be planted in a host to begin "ceremorphosis" (the tadpole gestates in a living being and becomes a full-grown mind flayer).

    Eligos dismissively waives away Erdolilel's question. "Just a turn of phrase. Pay it no mind." "As for Raknian, as far as I can recall, over a decade ago... 12 years, probably... Raknian was the premier gladiator of the arena. With the wealth and prestige he earned fighting, he retired from...

    As Kushnak and Erdolliel posit courses of action, Eligos appears lost in thought. Nethezar looks at Erdolliel and shakes his head. "If Raknian is popular with the Free City government, as Eligos says, the City Guard will be of no use. Even if they aren't actually in league with Raknian, they...

    When Erdolliel mentions Loris Raknian and the Apostolic Scrolls, Eligos' countenance turns dark. "The Scrolls are extremely rare. Raknian... is the director of the Free City Arena. The fact that someone as prominent as Raknian purchased them can only lead to darkness. I know little about the...

    Once she's able to read the ledger, Erdolliel discovers that it details the illithid's recent business transactions in rare and dangerous items with patrons throughout the Free City. The most recent transaction lists a payment to the illithid from Loris Raknian for the sale of a relic listed as...

    End of Day 50 After giving Eligos fair warning that they would be coming, the trio heads back to the sage's home in Garden District of the Free City. Once the trio arrives, Pollard shows them to the palor. Eligos already waits, sitting in a tall, velvet-upholstered chair. One chair for each...

    Sorry, guys. I'm not going to get a substantive post up tonight. I've been working all night on stuff for the theatre board. So, I think it sorta looks like the goo is sorted out. I have to take a little time to update Neth's sheet and then his treasure stuff. I'm pretty sure there was...

    At the risk of sounding... like me... did you miss the note about... (Emphasis added). Erdolliel cannot use permanency to cast several of those spells on us (she can only cast most of those Ti listed on herself). Also, for whatever it is worth, I'd really need convincing before I'd accept...

    Kushnak receives an immediate response to his sending: With illithid gone, my research suggests no immediate danger. Take your rest. I will contact if needed. You are free to take several days to take care of crafting, selling, buying, etc. While Neth can use both scribe scroll and craft...

    You can call it 5 gold for your rooms, food, and drink for each day you stay. And I guess I was hasty with the promise of the next thread. I'll wait a bit for that. And if you guys intend to rest up rather than going straight to Eligos, go ahead and level up anyway. I have updated the...

    Nethezar offers a half-hearted smile at Kushnak and Erdolliel's attempts to lighten the scholar's demise. He is, however, clearly ashamed. "Yes, let us identify our finds, and then you can fill me in. In that order. I'd like to finish business and then turn to relaxing with a drink."...

    Erdolliel and Kushnak make there way once more to the pyramid-shaped temple of Boccob. One of the scribes recognizes you from your last visit, and, after ascertaining your purpose, he quickly fetches Scholar Venli, the elf cleric who assisted you before. Once the details are settled, Scholar...

    The scared and weary prisoners gladly follow the duo out of the illithid's lair. Aside from some rats, the group meets nothing untoward as it progresses out. Soon enough, Kushnak and Erdolliel are prying open sewer grate and leading the group to freedom. As the whole group climbs out, a guard...

    Erdolliel finds nothing on the snake's body. She also finds nothing in the area where the people were penned in.

    Hoping to bring the creature down quickly, both Erdolliel and Kushnak close in on the blinded snake. Despite the creature's magic protection, both elf and half-orc strike strong, precise blows. When Kushnak is finished, the creature lies dead, its blood pouring into the stream nearby. Re...

    While snidely commenting to Kushnak, Erdolliel squeezes into the room and fires bolts of magic at the snake-like creature. Kushnak feels magic tug at his mind as he looks at the creature, but the half-orc shrugs it off. Instead, he casts a spell of his own, and the creature's eyes suddenly...

    FYI, I didn't find anything particularly on point, but I'm thinking this stuff regarding shallow bogs makes sense for the water in this room. It is roughly 1 foot deep.

    Ti reminded me that it had taken damage earlier. To make it explicit, (before you started attacking it now) it didn't look like it was still injured at all. You'd surmise that it had healing of some kind while you were gone. And, to further clarify (and since I have Ti's agreement via chat)...
