On Curious Findings and R'lyeh

[Saber Cherry]

Those names are just too funny!!! We need more!

I imagine that summoning skill increases survivability, as a 5% brain-fry chance gets compounded to only a 13% chance of surviving 39 turns. Or is it 5% per summon, rather than per turn?

Anyway, how did the starspawn survive the attacks? Or do they attack the province, rather than the mage?

I really don't have an inkling about the survivability. As mentioned else-thread, it seems that Starspawn Priest escapes injury more often than not.

Attack is on the summoner and is handled as an assassination attempt, i.e. 5 troops on "Guard commander" are brought along. Ring of Warning has found a use!

Do NOT use Illithids to guard the summoner: most void-thingys are mindless, so your 50gp is rather wasted.

Names, suggest 'em people, let's see what stick! Here's few:

[begin acronymania]

Thing That Should Not Be -> Tessie. Wouldn't you love to have a pet *this* cute. Awwww, look at all the life-draining tentacles...
Thing With Many Eyes -> Tweak (as in weak, because the poor bugger can't move)
Elder Thing -> Ellie
Formless Spawn -> Fossy
Vastness -> VASTNESS. You just gotta shout it out loud...
Greater Otherness -> Nestor (or G'Nessie)
Otherness -> Ness
Lesser Otherness -> Lester. Crap actually.

The real killer on the vastness isn't the mind bLast but the blood vengance. It's so fun to watch the enemy troops kill themselves in hordes I'm tempted to empower my vastness in earth and have it invulnerbility itself...or maybe nature and regen. They just swarm and die by the hundreds.

Of course a demon lord/heliophagus with some slaves could do that to himself with 9 blood researched...nasty thought really. I can se this being ridiculously powerful.

Just a question:

The AI will summon things from the void gate?

[Shael]

yes there was talk of this somewhere else in the forusm

[Nerfix]

BTW can the Void *foo* Pretenders of R'lyeh use the Void Gate or do they get fried with 75% chance like any other poor Astral critter trying to use the gate?

Void Lords / Lurkers came from the Void Gate. They have more important goals then peeking back at their old friends. There is a whole new world to distort. Let the starspawns bother if they find it so interesting.
