[QUOTE="gfunk, post: 1115347, member: 1813"] Hey, thanks for the praise. Basically, I have been trying to play Entropy's slow descent into insanity. This was manifested (at first) as a reckless disregard for netural creatures, then good creatures, then her own companions, then her own interests. At this point, she is pretty well-nigh cuckoo. However, that's the price you pay for being the most powerful Alienist on the planet. It's kind of like that song "Battery" from Metallica: [font=Arial][i]Lashing out the action, returning the reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay Smashing through the boundaries Lunacy has found me Cannot stop the Battery Pounding out aggression Turns into obsession Cannot kill the Battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery [b]Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers Never ending potency Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker Breeding on insanity[/b][/i] [/font] That pretty much describes Entropy in a nutshell right now. That doesn't mean she can't form rational plans, mind you, just that she is mentally unstable. In the particular quote you cited, Entropy [i]Shapechanged[/i] into a Bodak and with her death gaze (DC 28 Fort), killed all the drow wizards and the final Matron Mother of Erheli Cinlu. Since she truly despises Lolth, I didn't see why I should give quarter to any of her former worshippers, so I teased them with a bit of hope before killing them off. Also, Entropy had a plan (never executed) to convene a meeting of her Haven for Extraplanar Learning and Lore [HELL] right before the war. On paper, this was to be a war-time organizational meeting. However, what she [b][i]really [/i][/b]wanted to do when all the most powerful Alienists in Toril were present was the following: 1) Cast [i]Mordenkainen's Disjunction[/i] 2) Cast [i]Wail of the Banshee[/i] Thus ensuring everyone was stripped of their magical protections and killed outright. What can I say except this, Entropy doesn't like competition.;) [/QUOTE]
