- Mother couldn't have actual children, got an egg mimic instead
- Later helped mother get actual eggs for children
- Now has obsession with collecting, reselling eggs
- Need to get eggs from Xill
- Ethereal-plane dwellers that lay eggs in people
- Kidneys specifically, using head tendrils
- 30 ml of acidic semen to deposit and fertilize 1-3 eggs
- Eggs are ping-pong ball sized
- Final squeeze closes wound, 4 days to finish fertilizing
- Xill identify humanoids by look and smell, prefer living humanoids as targets
- Will kill non-humanoids that serve no purpose

- Acidic spider-like creatures that reproduce by ripping off pieces of self
- egg man bought device to mess with ethereal plane
- Should draw in Xill, maybe other creatures too
Arrival to Cave
- Fen lost rock-paper-scissors over who has to get the eggs
- Removes armor via magic, tries to look willing as we search
- Blood trail deeper in, collapsed tunnel
- Beyond collapse, noises of insectoids
- Clear out enough rubble to observe Xill
- Tendrils worse than expected, massive and reminiscent of centipedes
- Large, gaping maw beyond Xill
- Fen blasts opening with powerful magic
- Hits a Xill, attention gotten
- Xill attacks Fen before realizing they are willing
- Eggs successfully implanted in Fen's left kidney
- Two more Xill, two Tixitogs
- Fight ensues as Xill seek to implant everyone
- Chrysanthemum cannot be implanted, thus they aim to kill
- Sheeri gets paralyzed, implanted in both kidneys
- Fen gets swallowed by tixitog
- Grip not crushing, only holding
- Fen escapes, tries to get Sheeri away
- Ether spiders emerge from hole next
- Draw attention of Xill and Tixitog
- Both aim to protect future parents from spiders
- Opening provided, we escape
Outside the Cave
- Meet back with Egg Man
- Asks what eggs feel like
- Like globs of fluid
- Bodies visibly swollen at insemination sites
- Egg Man brought doctor
- Doctor will only perform one surgery
- Removes eggs from Fen
- Fen's left kidney horribly damaged
- Fen removes eggs from both kidneys of Sheeri
- Serious damage to both kidneys
- Egg Man offers to look into replacement kidneys
- Sheeri insists she will find her own
- Illiam gives some share of platinum to Fen
- Justified, Fen took biggest risk
- With more eggs than necessary, I take rest to experiment on
- Fascinating ethereal properties
- No concrete ideas yet
- Potential is there, however
