[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 1964668, member: 552"] With the servitor beings massacred at the hands of the remaining illithid overlords, Yug'rig'noth of the temple of physical power now loomed over Thul and Istigon. Istigon was the first to become aware of the observer, but he was unable to discern what he was seeing. It had the superstructures of an illithid, but its body was not trapped into a shape, it was moving about freely without flesh or muscle. Thul, in his recent victory over the masses of lesser beings, saw Istigon of the highest house distracted. As Istigon looked above, Thul tried to throw together his most powerful binding ritual. Thul conjured a tiny cube, one that occupied a space so small that it was unobservable to the naked eye. The cube took on additions "sides" as it bended and shaped outward. It reached to the planes of astral, shadow, and ethereal. It then shaped around the bindings, which connect those planes that still could be reached from Oerth, and became a genesis into itself. The cube became a prison, one that could seal any being that lacked the power of a god. The cubes space in the material plane was extended, shaped, and formed so that it could fit the exact mass of Istigon into itself from its space on the material plane, and trap Istigon forever in his own infinite dimension. Istigon, still distracted by the being above, finally became aware of Thul's psionic device and tried to throw up a barrier around him. All this accomplished when Thul sent the trap into Istigon's body and soul was to cause a colorful explosion of rippling psionic energy as Istigon was sealed into Thul's trap. Thul would laugh with victory for the rest of his existence as he watched his superior slowly be drawn into his own demiplane to be trapped for all eternity, had Thul not suddenly been dropped upon by a monster beyond his expectations. Yug'rig'noth, having watched the binding ritual and the battle before came down upon Thul'hur'mca in a single instant. He broke the illithid's strength with his massive power and he broke the illithid's mind with only his horrid (even to an illithid) visage. Yug'rig'noth, paralyzing his prey with the touch of the ooze that enveloped his flesh, slowly opened his body and flesh to devour Thul whole. Yug'rig'noth, in his vile form, slowly entrapped the powerful illithid within himself, stealing all of his strength, mind, and pain in one slow meal. As Thul's personality and abilities were absorbed into Yug, his hunger was shared between them. With an understanding of Thul's binding ritual and Yug's insatiable desire to eat, they set upon the dimensional portal in which Istigon had been sealed. Yug ripped the invisible barriers between dimensions with his incredible strength while still using the powers of the shaper to rip apart the seals, which Thul had only just placed. As their entwined abilities broke the barrier and the writhing mass of tentacles and terror came into the demiplane that had interned Istigon, the imprisoned illithid screamed in terror. Istigon put up his barriers as the invisible walls crumbled around him. He raised every mental defense he has available, and sent out every domination attempt he could muster. The creature in front of him, however, was far too powerful. Istigon's defenses slowed the creature only a step, and when it was upon him it devoured him as well, absorbing his powers, strengths, and knowledge. Yug'Thul devoured Istigon and became Yug'Thul'Gon, the mass of the three most powerful Illithids on Oerth. Using Thul's power he gave his body a shape, that which would appear to most to be an aberration of three formed illithids. Using Istigon's mind, the three thoughts were given cohesion and rendered into one form capable of three simultaneous or distinct thoughts. Last, using Yug's power their body was given the ability to continue to devour and hunger for all other creatures, and to desire greater and greater power. The monster finally turned its thoughts to its missing god again. As the three minds roiled in a bit of ordered chaos, they realized what they must do. Three became one, one which would forever desire to increase its own strength. As the chaos of the world became known to Yug'thul'gon, he sought to gather what remained of the illithid empire, and reinforce it with a show of power to the lesser races which were most nearly related to his now inferrior kin.
