Drow Eyes Wide Shut?

[Rechan]

I'm sure there was something about a poisonous fish. Liriel went fishing for it herself. But that's all I remember for certainty.

Now that you mention it, I remember that - the fish were a lot like piranha, but you can't see them in the water. So fishing for them is a dangerous challenge.

But I think we're about to derail the thread.

Yeah, probably. I need to dust my books and find more info about how the fish was served in the party. I'll return to the this later.

Plot & Poison has a Drow demigoddess of illusion (who is unecessary for this sort of thing) whose temple throws lavish parties with the finest foods and the most attractive attendents, filled with spectacle and pomp. Everybody knows that it's all illusion, and that the 'food' is cheap, spoiled and / or dangerous, and that the lovely pleasure slaves are worn-down and near-death anyway, but they regard it as a 'good party' if all they come away with is an upset stomach...

The Room of Chance. Somewhere in the building is a special room, and it's not marked in any way. Once you enter this room, you find out that it is the Room of Chance, and that you must play a special form of 'Truth or Dare' if you want to leave (or stay, for that matter). The catch is that the 'Dares' are written up by those who have entered the room and performed their own 'Dares.' If you refuse your 'Dare,' you are stripped, beaten and tied up, not allowed to leave the room until the party ends. If you perform whatever task is handed to you (on a slip of paper, drawn from a hat), you get to write your own 'Dare' for the next poor sucker to walk into the room... Due to the 'fun' nature of watching other unsuspecting party-goers forced to humilate themselves (and / or getting to beat the ones who refuse their Dare), many Drow wander room to room, hoping to find the Room of Chance. They know that they will have to perform some, generally objectionable and humiliating, act, but they consider it worth the price, particularly if they are creative minded and have been waiting months to write down the perfect vicious and outrageous 'Dare' to inflict upon whichever unsuspecting fool wanders into the Room of Chance after them! (A 'Dare' can't take the Drow out of the room, since that would defeat the purpose, and some Drow bring specific items with them to parties, 'toys' that will become important if they wander into the Room of Chance and have a chance to Dare someone to do something.)

Okay. A special dish from Daughter of the Drow, second chapter:

Pyrimo. Pyrimo is a fish with extremely toxic clands. When prepared correctly it has high drug-like effect on those who are brave enough to eat it. But it can be painfully lethal if the chef has made a mistake. Deaths occur only rarely though since the chefs know the punishment of serving poorly prepared pyrimo would be very "unpleasant". Catching pyrimos is also a sport that some more adventurous young drow take on. The fish itself is very dangerous with so sharp teeth that the victim rarely even realize the first bite. The pain comes soon enough as hundreds of pyrimos swarm the victim and eat the flesh vithin seconds.

Hmm...What about Fur suits? Sorta like that short clip from 'The Shining'

Read the alter self entry again. Now consider the large spellcasting population of Drow in comparison to most communities. I do believe all sorts of odd things go on at such Drow parties involving the inventive use of that spell.

I can accept the Drow as bodily excretion-loving, BDSM freaks whose daily lives look like the sickest kind of German porn.
But making them into furries just crosses a line...

just crosses a line...

you good sir have been squicked. Remind me to introduce you to the works of von Krieger, it will burn out all traces of squickability from your system. Well that or drive you irrevocably insane but it's all good

Great suggestions guys, very much appreciated. I'm also looking for suggestions that aren't sexual as well, like the boxing already mentioned, perhaps some strange foods, etc.

Rechan: I don't actually think the drow would use masks... too much paranoia in their society I would think.

Actually... Masks may serve Drow well for paranoia. It would be in some regards the opposite of Venetian Society, where one wore masks to hide themselves when conducting business so as to not mix business with other matters of life. With the Drow since they don't wear masks while conducting business they were masks during the party to shield themselves from their outside persona/how people view the Drow.

Mmmm ... plates of improperly prepared fugu.

A room full of gems, jewelry, and coin ... free for the taking but some will randomly turn the taker into solid gold.

A bondage room where the male drow order the females around.

A room where it's actually OK to step on spiders.

As a theme ... revel in the seven deadly sins.

Or perhaps, to titilate drow, it should be rooms of the seven cardinal virtues. You know, they could secretly get off by healing the sick, giving money to orphans, and that sort of thing.

Then again ... nah, more fun to have them ripping the heads off of little furry bunnies.
