While only given it's name by the locals, it is a well-earned name. The building, a large, run-down, 3-story building in the slums, gives off an odd psionic power. It causes causes headaches and confusion to weaker-minded creatures, and causes uncomfortability in stronger people. The building itself is not quite the sight. Several of the windows are boarded up, and the windows that aren't are blackened and dark.
Inside, it is a bit less underwhelming. The inside is dark, but surprisingly clean and organized. The main room is apparently somewhere between a living room and a kitchen. An illithid is kneeled on the floor near a person's kneeling body. The illithid stands up, bringing a piece of greyish matter up to his mouth. He gulps it down, and then "smiles" wickedly.
Now that that is finished...
The hashness leaves the illithid's (Ctrazt's) face, and a worm-like creature leaps from his neck. Ctrazt looks around the room.
What's going on?
You're sitting in the middle of my home, Illithid.
Ctrazt looks up, and notices a man standing on the staircase. The man is dressed in elegant clothing, completely opposite of the area he is currently living in.
Um...Ulitharid, actually...
I don't really care. What really matters is your purpose here. I'm sure you've become acquainted with the Puppeteer there.
Puppeteer...?
He looks around, and his eyes rest on the creature that just slithered off him.
You! You're the one working with those Barghests!
He raises a hand to fling the creature out the window, but finds that he can't.
'Fraid you won't be doing that. We've managed to suppress you're psionics. You'll be helping us, actually.
You're working for them, too, aren't you?!
Ctrazt pulls out his bladed staff, and swings the staff at the man. It passes through him.
'Fraid you won't be doing that, either.
The man's image disappears, revealing an odd, green, formless creature. An Unbodied.
Now, as I was saying, you will be helping us.
Ctrazt suddenly lifts off the ground, apparently against his will, and floats there for a moment. The Puppeteer craws off the table, and somehow gets onto Ctrazt.
Can you atleast tell me what's going on?
Why, get rid of Illithids, of course.
...okay, you lost me.
Oh, forget it. I'll explain it when the Dolor and Pyn return. Until then, you just take a nap, and let the Puppeteer do everything.
The worm-thing climbs to Ctrazt's neck, and clamps down. Ctrazt calms, and is dropped to the floor. Ctrazt stands, and walks over to a chair. He sits, and closes his eyes. The Unbodied changes back to the human appearance, and heads back up the staircase.
