[QUOTE="robertliguori, post: 4150672, member: 47776"] Fing is, a surge of illithids requires adventures of high enough level to kick basic illithidae into the 'minion' category. If you don't have that level of hero around, you're sunk, and you're most likely utterly decimated in the initial sneak attack unless you've specifically prepared for it. And that requires that you know about (and can prepare) for every threat, lest a splatbook come out and introduce a monster that can buzzsaw through the humanoids like an axle grinder through cheese. How about this: We know there are dragons. Dragons like treasure, and high-born maiden sacrifices. You need a certain minimum level of civilization in order to maintain a surplus of both, and Klazinrau the Inferno Given Wing can't indulge his draconic appetites of the Orcish Death Horde has made off with King Steve's treasury, tax base, and daughter. So, since dragons thing to the long term as a general rule, it can be assumed that they are on the side of civilization, so they can be the ones to reap civilization's benefits. Because any scenario that involves dragons making strafing runs on huge armies is a good scenario. [/QUOTE]
