The hook could involve retrieving an NPC's friend or family member who has been taken to the asylum though I feel like something less obvious might be preferable.Ģ: It is noted in OotA that Orcus and the newly undead elder brain, Cyrog, are thousands of miles away from the events of the adventure. I see his intellect-devourer minions kidnapping when it is convenient but also presenting themselves as orderlies, usually arriving in pairs, offering to take more afflicted members of a community away for treatment. It could be adjacent to or hidden within one of the major areas or used as a standalone random encounter. I'm definitely interested in additional input.ġ: The most obvious option is to expand on the Zellix blurb and include his 'asylum' for those afflicted by demonic madness. I don't want to shoe-horn them in or turn it into an illithid-centric story, but I would like at least one illithid set-piece fit into the adventure as presently composed. I am presently brainstorming ways to make illithid a more significant force in Out of the Abyss. I think it'll be a great adventure to run but there's only one illithid in the whole thing (Grazilaxx, a member of the Society of Brilliance), two if you count Zellix who is described in the afterward but doesn't appear anywhere in the adventure as-written. The Rage of Demons video trailer convinced me to run out and buy OotA the day it came out, mistakenly assuming the adventure would include the Orcus/illithid events the trailer showed.
