[QUOTE="S.Woodlander, post: 9409724, member: 7046488"] yeah, this is what I want.. I want to make it a really good mind f**k. Because to be honest, this is a party of 9 who are 9th and 10th level and they would just tear apart mind flayers and even their thralls. But I will throw them in there, the thralls and maybe even a Male Drow... Some background to make it all make sense: I have been playing with my current DM since the 80's.
