Well they obviously have the english language, (or how would we understand them?) so why not Latin or Greek? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Dirty meg makes an amusing hypothetical joke - it could be applied also to the more scholarly texts found within the game rather than our own classical plays. (The prophecies or writings of Alaundo mayhaps?)

I think its logical that if one is captured by the Illithids and made to fight in the pit, to them it is a demonstration of the power and control that they have. Its simply a primal form of entertainment to reduce their prisoners to pure survival instinct. It is also in the interests of science, so you could say its an experimental test.

Personally, I get the chills when I think about the Mindflayers objectively making analytical deductions with their 'superior intellect'.

That's why its such a liberating feeling to kill them
