Society Posters: The threat of the Sleeping Pyrimo

The following neatly-penned posters are placed around Upper and Lower Sanctuary.

Citizens of Sanctuary,

There is a dark, perverted establishment that lurks outside the gates of Sanctuary. It offers the lure of memories of the surface, treasures that sparkle and glimmer, and unlimited power for those willing to swear themselves to the surface of its vile master. This establishment is the Sleeping Pyrimo Inn. Its vile master, the mindflayer Intryzz.

For years, Intryzz has waged war against Sanctuary. He has offered the tantalizing taste of the so-called "wonders" of his Sleeping Pyrimo Inn to all willing to taste of them. A taste of the Sleeping Pyrimo Inn's pleasures, however, is a taste of corruption, a taste of death. The offers made by the Sleeping Pyrimo Inn are nothing but paltry, pathetic ruses offered to the weak-minded. Intryzz's talents lie in the manipulation of minds, in his use of his psionic potential. Everything that he tells you is a lie, everything that he offers is not real, and every tangible offer he makes is nothing but shrouded mist that conceals his true desires-the mental domination of every individual in Sanctuary, and quite possibly beyond.

For years, Intryzz has waged this war, offering the Sleeping Pyrimo as his proof that his word is good. Sanctuary, however, has rejected his promises. The Society of the Ordered Mind has responded to meet his threat. The Society has identified his aberrations. The Society has fought them, and it has saved many from the twisted tentacled grip of Intryzz. Intryzz's inroads have been met with the firm blade of the Society raised against them, pushing them back wherever possibe. He has sent thralls against Sanctuary; they have been redeemed or destroyed. He has sent his umber hulks and guardians against Sanctuary, they have been slain or driven back. He has even tried to spawn another version of the Sleeping Pyrimo, with the Steady Hand Inn-it has been burned to the very stones it stood upon.

Sanctuary is winning the war against Intryzz. Yet now, with the dangers of other threats seemingly more imminently pressing against our city, it may become easy to forget the danger that Intryzz poses. It may be easy to forget that the Sleeping Pyrimo does not slay our citizens, our friends, our family-it turns them into twisted abominations of the beings they once were. It may be easy to forget that the power of the mindflayer Intryzz is far greater than any disease a lizardfolk shaman or troll chieftain could muster.

It may be easy, citizens of Sanctuary. Yet this settlement is composed of people who have never taken the easy road-it is composed of hardened survivors, those who know that an easy path can never compensate or avert one from the hard road that must eventually be walked upon. The Society of the Ordered Mind has become aware of new, additional efforts by Intryzz to infiltrate his thralls into the Society. He has made new contacts to sell the "keys" to his despicable inn. He has made other efforts to spread the corruption he offers among all of Sanctuary.

The Society of the Ordered Mind calls upon you, citizens of Sanctuary, to remember the threat of Intryzz. It asks you to watch those around you, to be mindful of them, and, if you believe they may be suffering the mental effects consistent with mindflayer domination, to report these individuals to the Ordinants of the Society.

The Society of the Ordered Mind ask you to turn in every "key" to the Sleeping Pyrimo Inn that you may find, so that it may be consumed in fire, never to offer the taint of Intryzz's inn again.

The Society of the Ordered Mind asks you to avoid Intryzz's Sleeping Pyrimo Inn, and the minflayer himself, and to be wary for any of his ilk who may have entered Sanctuary. Slay them if you find them, for they will not hesitate to enthrall you.

To those who may be thralls of Intryzz, the Society of the Ordered Mind offers you freedom from the implants that Intryzz has placed upon you. Turn yourself in to the Society, and every effort will be made to ensure that your life is saved, and your implants destroyed. You can resist the lure of Intryzz, because although the mindflayer can twist your body and mind to do horrible deeds that you would never do, but he can never consume your soul. Do not go to the Watch, or the Spellguard, for your safety will not be a priority in their minds.

To those with friends or associates who they know are thralls-bring them to the Society. Ordinant Waters will not hesitate to take them to a safe location, so that the Society may help to remove their implants and restore them to the individuals they once were. Do not go to the Watch, or the Spellguard. They will not care about the safety, or the lives, of your friends and associates.

Intryzz and his thralls have made the destruction of the bulwark of the Society of the Ordered Mind a priority. The Society of the Ordered Mind will never falter in its holy crusade against the aberrations, and it will not fall to the corruption of Intryzz. Stand firm, citizens of Sanctuary, and aid the Society of the Ordered Mind in fighting the twisted threat of Intryzz and the Sleeping Pyrimo Inn. Stand vigilant against the threats that encroach from the Night Eternal, and know that Intryzz's efforts to corrupt Sanctuary can, and will, be defeated, and ended, with your iron will.
