Xxanthis is an elder orb that
has an established a lair about 1 mile outside of Cavern Asnir.
His lair is a normal beholder lair, similiar to those found
everywhere. The central cavern is found in the middile of a maze
of caverns. The tunnels are rigged with traps, most of these are
normal pit trap. Also Xxanthis has placed mirriors all throughout
the caverns. This allows him to use his powers around a corner,
or even several corners, without coming under direct attack.
In addition to the death tyrants, Xxanthis has enslaved three
tribes of kolbolds. These are put to work digging new tunnels and
pits in the maze. They also keep their masters home quite clean,
for if they do not they know they will die. Xxanthis keeps these
creatures around for that convienent snack when he gets hungry.
