One of the beauties of D&D is there are tons of things that make use of obscure letters like X! The Xill is a race of 4-armed lizard-like beings that live on the ethereal plane. They are evil raiders who wait in ambush for creatures on the material plane to pass by. They then cross over the planar boundary, subdue their prey and drag them back to the ethereal plane. Xill reproduce by implanting their eggs in their victims (Alien or wasp-style) When the eggs hatch, the Xill larvae devour their host from the inside.
The Xill nest takes advantage of their ethereal nature. It is located on the ethereal plane next to a material road where prey is plentiful. The brood chamber and that of the Xill leader have no doors. This allows ethereal Xill to pass while trapping material beings within.
With that, we are done with the final full week of the challenge. Just two more posts to go!

These are pretty maps.
ReplyDeleteLove your A-Z theme. It's the most original I've seen this month.
ReplyDeleteYour maps are so amazing. I'm enjoying telling others about them.
ReplyDeleteVery Alien-esque, indeed. I know next to nothing about D&D so this was a really cool read!
