[QUOTE="Anabstercorian, post: 124753, member: 2550"] [b]Soliloquy[/b] Anabstercorian hovers slowly to the deck of the spelljamming ship, surrounded by Illithid and drow in unison. <> He slams his staff against the floor. << I am the [b][u]CHOSEN OF ILSENSINE!![/u][/b][u][/u] You will listen to me when I speak. Oerth has been chosen for a purpose by Ilsensine. You shall not destroy it! Oerth has been chosen to be the new seat of Penumbra! >> Those nearby look tense and angry at these words, ready to attack. Anabstercorian manifests Psychofeedback and pumps his Charisma modifier skyhigh for a moment, repeating his demand for attention. << I am the [b][u]CHOSEN OF ILSENSINE!![/u][/b][u][/u] You will listen to me when I speak. I have been attempting to do something new. Listen to me, oh Illithid! We have long been defined by our greatest weaknesses - Our fear of the sun, our reliance on brains as diet, and YOUR cowardice. Ilsensine has spoken that these weaknesses will be cast aside, and we will rise to utter domination over all other things. >> The drow nearby look ready to kill him. He seems to stare them all in the eye simultaneously. << You think you would lose your freedom, your livelihood, your free will? Think again, oh surface cattle! I have begun the process of creating a new form of ceremorphosis, in which the mind of the host and the tadpole merge in to a new, greater form. I have ambitions, my friends, vast ambitions. We will exterminate the lesser species, not by killing them but by giving them new life. No more must they suffer endless reincarnations before finally seeing the truth and becoming of the One Race! With my new creation they will immediately become one of us. One of the One Race. >> << Who will we consume, you ask? I'm working on that too. On Toril, our blasphemous ex-brethren became creatures completely unlike that of we, no longer requiring the consumption of sentient brains for nutrition. I believe that such a transition would be within our grasp. Yes, we would be different. We would leave behind a defining part of ourselves. But I do not wish to be defined by a weakness! Do you? >> He awaits their response. [/QUOTE]
