I don't really have a hard time believing the main narrative atm. It makes sense to me. Some of your points have been valid others not so much. Illithid mainly staying in Underdark is one, meeting Volo (has happened in at least one official campaign released by WoTC) at level one is another one I disagree with. There are some others that I didn't reply to, because of food. then I got lost in fighting a Hag with the Fickle one crying behind my back. Really need to gag her at times.


That's a healthy outlook on life... wink

Anywho. Well, yea, I wouldn't write stuff like that for a first level party... but Larian choose to do so. They are the DM around here, so to speak, so all I'm left with is b*tch about it. wink


They did though make sure that a level 1 character could go through it, can you imagine if they hadn't. You'd die on first meeting of an intellect devourer, do to their ability to nom your intellect. So if done correctly it only enhances the narrative and the intensity. Which imo they did, you didn't have to fight an illithid 1 on 1.. (unless you goofed at some part), or take on a cambion (again unless you goofed.) Okay yes I was experimenting and shit. I mean I HAD to see if there was a bug in everything, plus bad rolls... ugg bane of a D&D'ers existance.
