Grrl Power #1086 - Befuddle a beholder

Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

There's definitely some wires crossed in Sydney's brain, right?

So yeah. Cthillia is an anthropomorphic beholder of some flavor. That's "beholder" not "Beholder(C)" because Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast/D&D owns the copyright on "Beholders(C)." I thought they also held the copyright on Drow, but I looked it up but couldn't find anything to back that up. Not sure about Lolth. They've definitely (C)ed Carrion Crawlers, Displacer Beasts, Mind Flayers, and a few others. But as Cthillia is humanoid, I'm probably in the clear. All this isn't to say that she's a chaotic evil bipolar agoraphobe necessarily. She has eyestalks with powers and moderate budget for scale polish for sure, but her mental state and interpersonal skills are a little more up in the air.

Anyway. I had actually planned a far more dramatic reveal for her at some point in the near-ish future, but I couldn't really see how the current storyline would lead to what I'd originally imagined. Plus it's also super funny to me that Sydney just badgered it out of her.
