Masrith followed the group. He heard Caractacus ask for names and he got a little frustrated. The Sliths voice became altered. "Masrith."  The Illithid did no like the idea of speaking through someone else. It was soemthing he found to be annoying and absurd. The fact that he could not communicate with them easily simply because they were creeped out was rather annoying. Masrith did not care much at this point. He spoke into the momd of Caractacus. "I seek to capture a hollow undead. Experimentation is required to obtain a better understanding." The Illithids request may sound strange. Ots not something many people consoder but it was what his race was good at. Illithids may have been cruel, but they were also intelligent creatures.
