CODE
Dark green light pulsates across the atmosphere.
An intense vibration makes the hairs on the back of your neck prickle.

A twisted Orb of the Queens of Keph blazes with dark power, as lines of energy
shoot out of the walls and link together in a giant web.

Lines of energy suddenly shoot out across the entire Undervault, crisscrossing
and interlinking together in a vast intricate web.

A pool of swirling black shadows opens up on the ground and Cthoglogg, the High
Ritualist rises out.
Cthoglogg, the High Ritualist exclaims, "Excellent work, Viynain! You have
opened the pathway to the Hidden Empress!"
Cthoglogg, the High Ritualist hands you an enormous bag of gold.
Your karma rises in response to your deeds.
An icy pall of darkness snakes across the tunnels of the Undervault as Great
Cthoglogg is imbued with the power of the Hidden Empress, ascending as her
invincible Avatar.
You gain a new honour!

The frightened cries of the kephera reach your ears as they huddle in their
hives, cowering in fear of the dominant illithoid.

Cthoglogg, the High Ritualist kneels solemnly before the twisted Orb of the
Queens of Keph, offering fervent prayers to his Goddess.

Cthoglogg, the High Ritualist exclaims, "Oh, Hidden Empress, She Who Must Be
Obeyed, our Mother, cloaked in shadow and ice! Gaze upon me, Your lowly servant
Cthoglogg!"

Cthoglogg, the High Ritualist exclaims, "Oh, Great Illith, the Leviathan! Turn
Thy gaze from the depths of the black ice, where your living half rests trapped!
Grant me Your almighty power!"

A kephera warrior cowers in fear, whispering about the psychic predations of the
illithoid.
A kephera warrior cowers in fear, whispering about the psychic predations of the
illithoid.
A kephera warrior slumps to the ground in exhaustion.

Shadows swirl around the Orb and plunge the chamber into pitch black as an
abominable presence slithers across your skin, and a ravenous emptiness fills
you with despair.

The shadowy tendrils snake around Cthoglogg, the High Ritualist as he screams in
pain. The shadows pierce his flesh and a harsh arctic chill fills the air with
its frigid breath. Cthoglogg, the High Ritualist's eyes blaze blue with untold
psychic energies, which swirl around him in a brilliant psychic shield.

Throwing his hands in the air, Great Cthoglogg, Avatar of the Hidden Empress
tosses his head back and laughs sadistically.
You see Great Cthoglogg, Avatar of the Hidden Empress yell, "I am risen anew,
the almighty and invincible Great Avatar of our Hidden Empress!"
A frigid chill suddenly fills the air and waves of psychic anguish roll across
you as the power of the Hidden Empress suffuses Great Cthoglogg, Avatar of the
Hidden Empress, granting him unimaginable power.

Great Cthoglogg, Avatar of the Hidden Empress exclaims, "I go now to rule the
Great Illithoid Prison, and indeed all of the Undervault, in the name of the
Hidden Empress!"
Great Cthoglogg, Avatar of the Hidden Empress gestures forcefully to the ground
and sinks into a pool of swirling black shadows.
The bloodthirsty cries of the illithoid fill the Undervault as they ascend to
supreme power and domination.

---

He imbued Cthoglogg with the power of the Hidden Empress to rule the Undervault.

And then we killed him
Unknown2009-12-15 02:19:56
No, actually, Viynain raised it again like four hours later. It's all good, since ...yeah.

I shall rave for another chance to do it right!
Arix2009-12-15 02:25:32
*takes the kill shot by accident*

oh wait, rave. Hmmmm...

Oh, I needed to look up a poison earlier, and Vivi's site totally had a poison list, was rather handy. Also, the f ruit hat is catching on in Celest, and I got two CF's this week
Furien2009-12-15 05:09:52
I'm still wondering why it takes Viynain 4 hours to bring up Cthoglogg while it takes 8 Queens and then some for Zenobia.

Then again, I'm biased. don-t_mention.gif
Esano2009-12-15 06:12:30
Can you kill Zenobia but not the Queens? If so, you might have done the equivalent here - dropped Cthoglogg, but not bothered to counter the quest up to that stage.

Stabbing all the organs would be the equivalent of killing the nodal queens, I think. Solanis didn't get to it right away, but still.

And it was more like.. 2 and a half hours, or something. We killed him, I left for a final, came back about 2 hours later and Cthoglogg was up again.

@Furien:Because they don't need loti mushrooms, I bet.
Mirami2009-12-15 06:59:33
Whomever was playing Weeky/Hart/Trialante. That was pretty fun... and I have a new favorite NPC.

Also, rave for Lehki, for knowing what was going to happen before it happened. a large number of times.

While stabbing all the organs would have been the equivalent, it takes a lot lot more effort than simply killing off the queens. Also I was waiting for someone to just raise Cthoglogg again so I didn't start killing the Organs.

It's mainly the difficulty of raising eight queens that makes raising the kephera's web and Zenobia so tedious.

@Mirami: honestly, I had urges to punch Trialante in the face.

Wise Lady, Voice of the Grandmother exclaims, "Thank You for Your words, Grandmother Scorpion! We will take them to heart!"

Wise Lady, Voice of the Grandmother stands up slowly, turning to each mummy in turn, nodding her thanks, before lifting the Staff of the Scorpion above her head. The staff shimmers briefly, then vanishes.

Wise Lady, Voice of the Grandmother presses some coins into your hands.
Your karma rises in response to your deeds.
You gain a new honour!

He woke the Old Ones and restored connection to Grandmother Scorpion.

I'm pretty sure you can't kill Zenobia until all the other queens are dead, and you can make at least 4-5 of them invulnerable until you get the liver to remove the orb, which is found on one shark that only repops like every hour or so, so in order to kill Zenobia, if you do it right, it takes a few hours.

I know the last two or three times Zenobia has been raised, Xenthos and I spent the hours preceeding killing off queens before, and even had to kill the Queens in the non invulnerable hives a few times before we started killing the nurses and stealing the eggs to stop it. So there is a significant time investment to kill Zenobia
Kiradawea2009-12-15 15:29:15
Aww. Cthoglogg is being brought down? I wanted to do that. I just haven't had the time to try. sad.gif

Last time it happened, Solanis did all the work and some random kid got the honours.

That sounds about the same as what it takes to kill Cthoglogg, except he doesn't have some beefy invincible mob guarding each orb. The thing is, I'm pretty sure doing that also takes down physic web, so you're doing both counter-quests there. We can't even start our second counter quest until Cthoglogg is dead. ):

It's main difficulty is that you need more loti spores for every single god damn step then there are actually out there at one time.
