Description

This area is an alien system of passages and chambers constructed by the illithids. There is a distinct architecture and design to their lair. Doors, strange furnishings, decor and lighting are present within - including various machinery, vats of strange liquids, tadpole breeding pools, prisoner and slave cells and other chambers are present. At the heart of the complex is the Master brain and attendants.

Expect a number of hostile illithid creatures as well as their Umber Hulk pets.

Ogre (Mind Flayer Jailer) - "Ha HA! No, silly little one, you don't fight me. I earned right to not fight. No, you fight in the arena. Listen, I tell you what you need to know."

Simyaz - "We harbor a special hatred for the illithids, and we will see them dead before we are done. Or we die ourselves."

Slave Leader - "Thank you, dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>, thank you! My... my name is Camaris Highcastle of... of Myratma. If only there were some way to properly repay you!"
