Nov 30, 2003 20:39:56 I just had a fun idea for an NPC. It was inspired by JasperDM saying something about the Mortuary on another thread in this forum.

What if there were a "dustman" illithid who worked at the Mortuary and was extrememly well-fed (read: distgustingly obese) due to a habit of snacking on the brains of corpses as they came through? I don't think a real dustman would do that sort of thing, so I think he'd be an anarchist leading a cell of illithids bent on tearing down the current order and replacing it with a hierarchy of illithid domination. I can even imagine him being known as an anarchist to other dusties, but they just don't care (or the ones who care are so low in the power chain that he dispatches them easily). *wish I dm'ed planescape*

that might fit with the illithid part, but I think any anarchist would cry bloody murder when hearing about that kind of domination so no cells here.

I don't think a cell made entirely of illithids would mind to much...heck they would probably even want to tear down the other cells of anarchists to express their dominion.
