[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8118173, member: 6802951"] This mind flayer is studying the inventiveness of the humanoid mind and many esoteric sciences. They are the one responsible for the weirdness of the island: When they find a slave with interesting ideas they imbed a compulsion to try them out and remove any moral compunctions, then give them some resources and set them off. There are two other small communities on the island: In one, the inhabitants change their currency from leaves, to seashells, to rocks with holes in, to elf eyeballs on a weekly basis. The walls shift and configure into different mazes through a mix of actual physical changes and illusions. Food is scarce, contains addictive drugs, and only provided through strange tasks and challenges that change daily. - The village is run by a small cabal of mad [I]social [/I]scientists. In the other community, everyone seems to act normally - obsessively so. They address each other as "Fellow human" even when of a different race and spend their time intently doing caricatures of normal everyday tasks. - This is actually an Intellect Devourer training camp. All the inhabitants are intellect devourers that have been instructed to remain strictly "in character" at all times. A new batch of slaves is introduced every so often to evaluate how good the intellect devourers are at pretending to be normal people, and a few of the slaves have actually managed to blend in and survive several cycles.
