[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 1392845, member: 5948"] Regarding the assault on the Earth Primal's prison. Has Orcus been planning this for a long time? Because if he has then he may have seeded the Nyr Dyv with a couple of little villages of cultists - perhaps kuo-toa - in preparation for this very moment. A bunch of fanatic kuo-toa, led by some powerful Thralls of Orcus, could be handy. And they could bring all sorts of slimy, lightless-depth, ocean-floor weirdness along to the party. I haven't got the books with me, but a few suggestions: - a wastrilith, or the other epic-level aquatic demon from the Fiend Folio (the one with the unpronouncable name). I seem to remember Dravot will probably be able to banish it quick smart, but it's intimidating nonetheless. - a murk strangler or two. This one's a templated critter - an advanced half-black dragon monstrous giant octopus Reaping Mauler 5. The Monstrous creature template gives them 8 poisoned tentacle attacks per round, add that to Ability Focus (poison), the Savage Species feat that increases tentacle reach, Earth's Embrace and Combat Reflexes. Grapple checks should be around +30 at only CR 15 or so, and with Str damage poison it's not gonna get any easier to escape the pin... - ooze para-elementals. - Cthulhu! Or at least something resembling him. Perhaps a half-illithid kuo-toa leviathan (from the Underdark book) of legend with some psychic warrior/psion/hexblade levels? - spellstitch your undead critters. Even the lowliest one can have a True Strike handy, and anything that can have a go at dispelling the Meepites water breathing spells/devices are a bonus too. There's some other ideas as well, but I'd like to check things out with the books first... [/QUOTE]
