Henry sees nature and especially the insect world as an untapped and incredible resource, with an untold number of secrets that he was put upon this earth to unveil. To finance his facilities and further research, Henry has sold several of his experiments to a number of unsuspecting customers. Farmers might have bought his potato crickets, a predatory, genetically modified species of hunter-crickets, engineered to ferociously seek out and destroy a number of common potato pests. The fact that the crickets sometimes go mad with blood lust, swarm up and seek out larger farm animals or people to consume, is something Henry isn’t too worried about, since he also sells its pretty much natural enemy the “Potatoad”. This is an enormous type of toad with a humongous appetite, freshly discovered in the Amazon and then slightly touched up in Henry’s labs. This beast usually takes care of the problem before growing too big itself. The common man with an interest in spicing up his garden might invest in Henry's exotic and overgrown butterflies, or perhaps some bulbous lamp bugs to illuminate the garden path at night. Maybe they’re tired of the dog and would rather have a dog sized spider or praying mantis? Not a problem for Henry, who has several of these running around in a more or less well secured area of his labs. Around his facilities in different, sealed off areas, would intelligent ant colonies be on display, bulging, baneling-like acid bugs of different sorts hanging off the walls, different strains of hardy bees in with a bunch of flowers, and whatever else that creeps and crawls. One of Henry's latest experiments would be Webber, his assistant. This is one of the aforementioned dog sized spiders, but engineered and trained to be intelligent and helpful around the lab and in everyday life. If anyone else wants to play a “creation” Henry could have created an intelligent insect species of some sort as well. If not, that’ll be one of my long term goals. What motivates you to leave your laboratory and do stuff in the world? Henry would leave the lab to consort with other scientists, to hold presentations, to receive awards, to criticize other scientists' works, and to collaborate with (or defend against?) other scientists. He gets contacted by clients, some of which would have already experienced problems with his bugs, where he might go assess the situation and apply a new solution. He’s also always on the lookout for new and interesting insect species he could discover or modify, and goes on quite a few trips to locate these. Short term goals: Research on things like wasp controlling pheromones, super strong spider silk, the conversion of proximity exploding acid bugs into textile coloring acid bugs, waponized guard spiders, etc… Long term goals: To be immortalized for discovering insects, for solving every imaginable problem with insects, and if no one wants to play one, create an intelligent species of insects to be man’s companion. Friends: I have the classical nephew and his mother, the nephew I’m hoping will one day devote his entire life to entomology studies, just like his uncle. My assistant, the dog sized spider Webber is another friend, and maybe I’m part of some group of scientists with whom I exchange notes and ideas. Enemies: There’s a growing group of former clients, rivaling biologists and disgruntled ecologists who strongly frown upon what Henry is up to, and wouldn’t mind putting a complete stop to his exploits. Most annoying are those who argue from a religious stand point, saying his selected field of research is an affront to god, and who will occasionally follow Henry around holding signs while singing annoyingly catchy anti-Henry chants. | ||

As for your worldbuilding stuff, it would be really nice if you could try to be a bit more precise. Names for example make stuff a lot more real. | ||

In the meantime the party decided to try and find out who exactly placed that there, rather than just take Uugluuk's word for it; Xan used a spell to map more of the sewers, and found a number of back entrances to the criminal hideout, and Eberwein used his keen sense of smell to track down the scent of the rat attractor. And after dealing with some harassment, he found that the scent lead into the lizardman section, and then passed into the cave. Meanwhile Vorrash used some of Xan's liquid courage to inebriate some lizardmen, and question them on the rat attractor. Where a lizardman claimed that he smelled that awful smell somewhere deep in the winding passages of the cave. Oh and Xan also accidentally burned down his bar, and later bribed some hobgoblins with free booze to take the rubble and turn the bar into an arena. Eberwein suspected Kish to be behind the rat fiasco, and he attempted to smell Kish two seperate times, but failed as Kish used some dirty/humiliating tricks to impede him. Eberwein then grew two additional tusks and went to fight Kish; Vorrash then convinced everyone to go to the arena and solve the combat there (as opposed to the entire lizardman cave ganging up on Eberwein). They did a hand-to-hand test of strength, where the loser would be the first to fall out of the bounds of the arena. After quite the struggle, Eberwein was victorious, and for his reward he got to smell Kish, though he didn't smell the rat attractor stench. They all decided to head to the cave, as Kish mentioned a new lizardman came to the cave recently, and after the rat fiasco, he suddenly dissapeared. While exploring the cave the party got a bit lost, and wandered into a stalactite ridden tunnel; they soon realized that it was very humid, and there was this strange slick slope before them, they also heard what sounded and felt like slow breathing. Xan cast his cave mapping spell, and as the walls were bathed in warm energy, the entire cave began to rock, and their suspicions that they had entered the mouth of a giant creature with quickly confirmed. With but a few scratches they made it out of there; xan then tried to cast the mapping spell again, which caused the giant mouth to sneeze. The "snot" that came at them smelled awful, but was definitely the rat attractor gunk. They then decided to gather as much as they could, and head back to the dungeon. | ||
