Café de Nuit

Grow up and don't be so petty. I was being nice about this- you can keep the sarcasm to yourself.


Biologically, they have no choice in the matter of whether or not to eat humanoid brains. They also need the psychic energy brains possess and this all stems from their parasitic existence. Their ...

We'll agree to disagree on the nature of good and evil in DnD.

Animals and humans may have many hormones and enzymes in common, but not all afaik and not in the same ratios.

Keep in mind that Illithid are efficient- why synthesize and consume MANY separate substances they need when they can simply ...

There are many sources that tell it as a biological requirement for Illithid to consume human brains as they lack the ability to produce certain hormones and enzymes on their own. The entire Illithid race can be seem as both parasite and predator towards humanity.

They are utterly dependant on ...

"Yes, it...it was a tunnelling creature of some kind. I was able to speak with it...think of a large bug on two legs. It was harmless believe it or not and it's gone now."

Archedius in the guise of Toran walks to Besmra and embraces her. "I will gladly die for you and the child. Know this ...

that was one of the more normal happenings

Sooo many twists in this campaign

First definate powers check I've seen lol

Archedius would only be able to rejoin the party if Besmra and her unborn child were killed somehow. So long as he has responsibilities he will occupy himself with farmwork and communicating with Okithruu.

I am fully prepared to make a new PC if it would help the game flow through the story arc.

Wow! Rardi's letting another being die just to have a new body to use? Archedius at least didn't have it happen intentionally...but wow, suprised by Rardi.

Archedius truly had no knowledge of Okithruu's nature. He is not a scholar, he was a footsoldier and had heard only legends of the things form the underdark.

If you read the pages again, you'll see that Archedius was the primary motivator for handing Deltherin over to Okithruu.

Yes, Archedius ...

"When I say Okithruu helped me, he has his own morality...he took this man, ate his brain and put mine into the body. For his people such an act is simply a matter of might makes right."

"I...I have been playing the part of the pregnant woman's husband whose name was Toran ...

The man becomes noticably frustrated and grabs the thing, "Rardi, it's me damnit! It's Archedius. Why in the Hells aren't you listening to what I'm saying!"

"Hmm, well you're as determined as my Rardi was but I'm afraid there's no copper wire anywhere for miles. Archedius. Does that name sound familiar at all to you?"

The man reaches out to touch the face of the being.

The man noticably shivers, "I'm coming down there, stay quiet for a moment."

When he is down in the cellar near the thing, he leans in towards its face and whispers ,

"The name of this body is Toran, the name of this mind is Archedius. Okithruu's culture and morality is different than our own ...
