Considering how mindflayers reproduce, I feel worse for the poor kid they tadpoled than for the horrifying monster that resulted from it.
Remember, that horrifying monster is destined itself to be eaten by the elder brain. What’s worse, being an aboleth that’s evil because you were born with memories and a personality that has existed since the dawn ages, or being evil because your entire existence is a tortured joke.
And that is why my characters have felt no pity genociding both races in every epic level campaign I play in.
Yeah, goblins or orcs would have been a better choice for this comic
Heck even kobolds. Almost every wizard character I play takes Speak Language: Draconic just so I don’t have to kill the poor little lizards. They’re cute in an uncivilized way.
Some time later…
Timmy: dies
A Party member: Level Up
Died so young… he barely ate any brains at all 😭
Dommy mommy took little Timmy’s seed away and fed it to her boyfriend
This sounds like ghaik sympathizing.
Lae’zel disapproves.
A fine battle tactic - I had not considered disrupting ghaik supply lines before. Like killing two ghaik with one red dragon.
Lae’zel approves.
I don’t want to sound mean but fuck Timmy.
find Timmy and give him more disease
Him and his pidgeons
“we’re going to need another Timmy!”
Don’t feel sorry for the brain eaters.
Seriously. Mindflayers and Aboleths I feel absolutely no pity for at all when my characters inevitably declare Genocide on those things.
I’ll go further out of my way to not fight goblins and kobolds than the brain eating fucks.
Surely the Illithid child already knows through the hive mind or whatever.
My table water boarded a wolf after killing its pack. They of course made sure to cast speak with animals first.
AMfAB
Will always side against The Emperor
They deserve worse.
Honestly, this is just an indictment of the health care system in the Forgotten Realms. Mindflayers should control a powerful lord to mandate universal healthcare and improve the supply of potions and employ cleric healers throughout the realm.
