[QUOTE="Turgenev, post: 9756102, member: 6733"] In my Villains & Vigilantes game, my players are underground investigating the disappearance of three electricians and two police detectives that went missing in a new subway extension tunnel. Suddenly they hear a high pitch shrill trilling and they are attacked by giant ants (that are threatening the whole city). [b]Thermoch the Insect Man:[/b] Thermoch (the ch is pronounced as a k) is an Insectoid from the subterranean world of Inner Earth. His people exiled him so he stole a sacred relic of his people, the Myrmex Box, and he is using it to invade the surface world.
