The scourge is a visible sign of Lolth's favor. All clerics of Lolth have one. They have stats as in Carcelon's stat block in the new rogues' gallery thread. Although they are weapons, they often are used simply for punishment of the inferior, not actual combat. The number of heads shows how much favor a particular priestess has. Each head has its own personality and ability scores (though not necessarily rolled), and can speak. I don't remember how many the previous Matron's had (and I'm too lazy to look it up), but Narcelia's only had 2, whereas Carcelon's had 3 (and she was the younger sister, and therefore not the future Matron). Carcelon was more highly regarded by Lolth. It's possible that when a priestess becomes Matron, another head grows, since Matrons seem to have more than others (five is not uncommon).Unfortunately, when Narcelia was washed away by Kripp, she had the scourge with her, and the Illithids took it (or so I assume). I guess that if House Millithor is still around, and Narcelia is still associated with the House, either she got another scourge (directly from Lolth), or another highly favorable sign was associated with Narcelia directly. Otherwise, the House would be seen as weak and no one other than Narcelia herself would think her fit to live. It would be an excellent excuse for Carcelon to plot, with or without help, Narcelia's assassination.Just so you know, I'm not at all criticizing you when I make these suggestions. I'm really excited to begin, but I'm totally content to let things play out how they do. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Edit: Well, if you're okay with a *complete* rebuild, I might do that . . . There were some choices made by the other player that I don't understand.</blockquote>
