Last Survivor

Overview

Illithids set a trap for an adventuring group

Trigger

While travelling through a swamp the party stumbles across an old battle site.

Description

At the bar you see a drunken sailor stooped on a stool leaning over the end of the bar. His mug is half full and most of what he is drinking he spills over himself. Every once in a while he raises his head and yells "Illithids boarding us captain!" or "The helms out captain, Were going down"

Dm notes

If the PC's approach the sailor and start talking to him. He will tell them how he was aboard the "Fast Approach" passing by a nearby asteroid field with a cargo of fine silks, and paintings when a illithid ship attacked them from behind a asteroid. The battle was going OK until the illithids used there probability travel to board the "Fast Approach". The ship went down on a asteroid. Barth. The sailor was soon rescued by a passing elven man-a-war. None of the cargo was recovered. (In fact the illithids reprogrammed Barths mind to think of that story. There is no ship. The illithids are just waiting for a group of adventures to try to find the cargo. where they can attack.)

Key

Barth (if healed of brin wash) actually knows of a lost ship
