Re: MP Game - Yarnspinners
R'lyeh, Turn 43
Hmmm, it is as I feared. Man-ish forces make no distinction between the forces of Xlikloth, which are ravaging the land, and myself, who is only trying to find and kill that upstart punk. I wandered across the beautiful old library by the riverside, and was attempting to communicate with the local garrison the only way I know how (by sucking out their brains) when a group of Illithids showed up. The humans got all uppity and tried to stick metal into things, and before you knew it many of the best volumes in the library were blood splattered.
Anywho, the commander of the R'lyeh force, Ahu'yhuala, is loyal to me. Or, at least hates Xlikloth, which is the same thing. He was upset that he had to leave his sand castle under the sea to come fight. We found a magic lab next to the library, strewn with odd human magical equipment (apparently they think magic is done with paper, quills, lanterns, and a surprising number of human skulls). The skulls make me hungry. But I digress. Together, Ahu and I used the lab to make contact with Cthugul back home. He was very glad to hear from me, since he had feared the worst since my disappearance. The old boy is getting slow in his old age though, and is thinking about retiring to spend more time with the spawn, and letting one of the other priests venture into the void.
Argh! Off topic again. This is what happens when I get hungry; those militia were barely more than a snack.
Cthugul says that most of the Elder Starspawn remain loyal to me, but are afraid of Xlikloth's power. If I can just remove the head (literally) of this rebellion, the rest will fall in line. And Cthugul knew that the traitor was directing the assault on the castle at Starko, only a few leagues south of here! But the journey there will not be easy. Great armies of Man are roving along the coast, and will most unfairly try to kill me. One force in particular, is rumored to have dozens of fire mages, and some nasty fiery snakes. And me without my fire-proof night-clothes! This will not do, so I have ordered Cthugul to ship me something fire-proof right away so that I can get close enough to these mages to explain the subtle distinction between Xlikloth (the lunatic terrorizing their lands), and my godly self (Lord of Nightmares, He Who Lies Dreaming, Great Elder God Who Will Destroy All Their Minds And The Very Foundations Of The World).
So, until that magic gear comes in, I'll spend some time here, perusing some of the Man-ish books. Oh, "How to cook", that looks good.
