Right now, the OOTS is being subjected to epic level illusions and enchantments, effectively lowering their development level, to make them easier for the final dungeon traps and monsters to deal with.
In other words - Spells make high level characters as effective as low level characters, now watch the 20th level monsters attack!

It was kind of obvious from the start. A Rogue couldn't do all that with any degree of success.
Even if the Dungeon doors function as teleportation circles to dungeons still on that plane/world (vs planeshift effects to magically created demiplanes that make it so the monsters don't need to eat, and maybe regenerate after being killed), that's ALOT of teleportation circles.
That's would be the guy from the first 'dungeon'.
Now we have the fact you can't see past the teleportation circles to know you've been relocated. That's illusions powerful enough to screw with a Lich. Epic level illusions. Sounds like second 'dungeon'.
Not sure what the druid contributed, beyond methods to control the various high level and bloody dangerous creatures.
That just leaves the Paladins, and they are finally there.

Yeah... not a good sign when the Threads of Creation are that visible.
And RedCloak would know what to do with them.

Re: THE OotS Thread, Part V
I wonder if they can be affected by magic like Mage Hand or TK?

Mage Hand can't affect magical objects.
Re: THE OotS Thread, Part V
True
Which is why I wonder if it will affect the Threads? Are they magic, or something else?

Re: THE OotS Thread, Part V
They're the DIVINE MAGIC used to Create the World(s) that imprison the Snarl. Yes, I'd say they count as Magic, probably the Ultimate Magic in the Stick-Verse as this is the power of entire Holy/Unholy Pantheons Combined.
As Thor stated, the only thing that might have power against these is "the new crayon in the box", the Goblin Deity.

I do feel they're sort of treading water at the moment, maybe all the set up will be useful but I think we need to get along to the presumably final confrontation soon.

Don't you know about the authors submission to Dragon Magazine back in 2e?

I don't have a link handy but I know he's said that Monster-san is an actual published D&D monster.

Re: THE OotS Thread, Part V
A new player seems unlikely at this stage of the story.
Re: THE OotS Thread, Part V
Go back to #1292, all she says is "It's the Room with the Thing". She doesn't name it.
#1293, Sunny's back is to the party, as the whole drama of "Acid Bath" plays out. Not once do you see Sunny's front face, nor does Sunny say anything. All of Sunny's eyes are facing foreward looking across the bridge.
Whatever "The Thing" is, it mind-fucked Sunny immediately without anyone noticing. So... what extremely powerful Psyonic monsters are out there, besides Illithids?

There are about 171 Psionic monsters that were published by WOTC in 3rd edition (including ones published in the liscenced magazines under Paizo, i.e Dungeon, Dragon, Polyhedron).LadyTevar wrote: ↑2024-01-01 10:40am Go back to #1292, all she says is "It's the Room with the Thing".

Removing stuff below CR 8, Dragons, Mind Flayer related, and stuff you'd say 'yeah, it's a Yaun-ti', it leaves about 24 possibles.
Probably one of the following, but you never know

Then if you get into pre 3e conversions, and ignore 'obviously a', it rises up to 270 or so.
Then if you get into 3rd party......

Re: THE OotS Thread, Part V
I think he sticks to the Handbooks and Maybe Dragon Magazine, so we can get rid of anything that came out on the WOTC-Web.
The next question is "WHICH OF THESE COULD SHE HAVE TRAPPED AND BROUGHT HERE"

Re: THE OotS Thread, Part V
My bet is a Tunnel Worm variant, or a Psurlon.
That's provided it's a psionic creature. After all, we've seen that eye effect from spells to. (i.e Xylon to the MITD when he commanded him to be prepared to eat Redcloak on command).
I could produce a list of monsters that can use Dominate Monster if you want![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
