[QUOTE="Abraxas, post: 2208315, member: 1266"] Creepy is subjective but . . . As a DM My players faced off against a hive of Insectile Ogres that had attacked a town and carried off most of the bodies. In the process of fighting these creatures they kept finding these globes filled with a honey like substance that registered as conjuration magic under scrutiny with a detect magic spell. The globes were similar to the abdomens of honey ants but about the size of a softball. They had observed the insectile ogres drinking from them after being wounded - and being fairly smart - deduced that they were some sort of healing potion. As they continued their fight with the bugs they used a number of these to heal their own wounds. Imagine their surprise when they breach the hive and find a series of chambers with larva that are consuming the remains of the towns people and excreting the honey like substance used to fill these globes. The globes were referred to as soylent gold after that. As a Player We were sent to a defunct prison called the "Pit of the Damned" to recover the maguffin item we needed. This prison had been used to house very evil spellcasters until such time as their judgement could be carried out - Evil not just in alignment, but in they had used their magical abilities to augment the commision of fairly horrible deeds - so it had been the home to rapists, murderers, cannibals, pedophiles, etc etc. Something horrible had happened and the place was closed and warded. We get inside and have to fight the undead remains of a number of these creatures. In general it was just creepy and then we fight the undead pedophile sadist - who's special attack turns your character into a 7 year old if you fail your saving throw. That made my skin crawl.
