With silver blades and red dragons, githyanki warriors fly between the realms to pry out the malignant influence of the tyrannical, tentacular mindflayers. Thousands of years ago this psychic menace reigned over an empire and enslaved the githyanki – to become one of them would be a truly cursed fate for a githyanki warrior.
And this is the abject horror Lae’zel is facing. Captured by the Cthulhuesque creatures, the silver-clad fighter has been implanted with an illithid tadpole that will feast upon her intellect before finally transforming her into another mindflayer within a matter of days. She’s already in the throes of the ultimate insult by fate, then – and then she meets our tiefling bard.
Also abducted by mindflayers and also doomed to become one of them if nothing is done about the tadpole swimming around their grey matter, a hero of your own creation can take centre stage in this roleplaying
