[QUOTE="incognito, post: 447231, member: 7008"] [b]fleshing out a creepy palace in the abyss[/b] yeah, fleshing :D I have three tidbit's for you - and it seems you have other contributors 2, now that we've started this thread rolling. 1. Hanging in four ropey strands are a series of human, humanoid, and mostrous human severed hands, some whithed, some more fresh, and still dripping blood. if the characters walk thorugh the doorway, creepy stuff happens a) The hands simply feel the characters faces, or finger thier weapons, or items carried in hand b) One of the hands, per strand, pick pockets one or more items from the characters as they pass through c) For a more magical effect, One of the hands, per strand, plucks a magic spell off the characters, holding it in the hand a a spell wiht touch range, able to be "planted" on a chaotic evil "outsider" 2. A Queen Formain (always lawful Neutral) in a strange device that at once seems to be restraining her, and at the same time sustaining her. Three huge fluid filled tanks sit unevenly spaced around her, filled with a distubing, amorphous, softly glowing substance (actually advanced chaos beasts, completely restrained in the tanks). it is clear that there are fluid lines that begin in the tanks and end in the queens abdomen. the queens spell casting abilities, are supressed by the device. She can use her [i]spell-like[/i] abilities to influence anyone who comes in the room, but they cannot affect the device that restrains/sustains her. Every d4+1 rounds, with a sicky plop, a wrinkeld egg is expelled from the queens birthing canal. one round lated, a sickly warrior 'formain' emerges, who stats are identical to a typical formain, except that it is chaotic neutral, and subject to the domination of <insert evil sub-villan here>'s mind charm spells. This experiment failed becasue the warrior broods are unstable, they degenerate into a putrid goey mess after a short while (rounds? minutes?). It is particualrly disturbing to the Queen because her offsping are being warped by chaos, and perishing at a horrendous rate. 3) Two demons in a room, with old waltz music playing from an intique recorder (the piano looking thingy) in the far corner. One, a pit fiend, the other, and advanced Vrock. The Pit fiend has flayed the Vrocks skin from it's hide and is [b]wearing it. [/b] the Balor is dancing around the room crazily, enjoying the torment of it's weaker demon companion. the Vrock, alive but at 1/2 HP is crying out horribly, piteously - and every now and then picks up a chained human or demi human slave and dashes it's head againest the pitted iron floor, causing it's head to softly explode brain tissue all over the floor. That horrifying enough for you? [SIZE=1]edited for spelling, what twice now?[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
