[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 444075, member: 704"] [b]Thanks for the initial feedback...[/b] I like the initial responses so far. I particularly like the idea of having Dr. Smith sleep around with the nurse / assistant. It does give a reasonable way for Dr. Smith to get the necessary assistance he would need to perform the operations. Another way does occur to me also. It could be that the Doctors involved wished to "get published', and kept the discovery secret until they could satisfactorily explain it. Of course, the immediate staff involved could then have become infected. Having Thomas Edwards "like Money" also gives me a good modification as to how he could have crossed paths with Johnathan Fitzgerald. It could be that Thomas was really after some property that Johnathan owned, which had a natural spring under it. Johnathan refused to sell, so Thomas had him killed and had the will altered. I also have an explanation for how the natural Spring was infected. Of the original expidetion to Cambodia, only Johnathan, and Roger survived to return. However, Roger was infected, and Johnathan had to fight him. Roger ended up drowning in the Spring, which in turn, caused the spring to become contaminated. And perhaps I should have also mentioned that I did intend for Thomas to be infected with the "King Worm". I also intend to run this adventure in Modern times. The current trend for the Health Club types to drink bottled water makes my planned route of infestation more plausible. One good point brought up by Mik is that I really did not bother figuring out which of the Ancients would be behind the Cambodian Devil Worms. The Mi-Go do not make sense since they have their own way of creating puppets. And the idea I have come up with does not really build off of any of the Lovecraft stories that I have read. Any plausible explanation that would bring in the presence of an Old one is greatly appreciated. The worms tend to be found in natural springs, deep wells, and simular locations. Fully grown, they are roughly 1.5 meters long and 10 cm wide at their longest point. They tend to consume vital organs and take over the functions of the Stomach, Heart, Lungs, Liver, etc. Those infected become much stronger, and difficult to kill (+8 Con, +4 Str).
