Dungeon / Mind farm

[Garion Beckett]

Hey guys!
So I am looking into making a devious plan to power up the agents of the Great old ones ( Cthulhu). So what I am trying to accomplish is a series of spells or curses that trap, captured people in sleep then drain them of their mental stats. If they are awoken then they are afflicted by a damaging spell or circle of death. If anyone knows of something that can drain mental stats at a point per day that would be amazing.

A disease or other affliction would feel right though you'd probably need a variant disease and a variant spell to deliver it. Look up thought crawlers as a close-ish match.

Dream Dalliance combined with effects to debuff Will saves would keep them asleep. Hook them up to an IV nutrient drip or whatever and you've got yourself a lotus eater machine of sorts.

The drawback there is that they probably don't enjoy eating dreams that are pleasurable for the mortals dreaming them.

Of course, you could also just use weird technology to have a more machiney lotus eater machine and be done with it. Who doesn't love a wall full of people in vats, glass tubes, or horrific bio-technological pods, after all?

Witch hex to lower their saves; the Dream Dalliance spell to deliver the drain or hire a Night Hag to do it; use Dream Spider poison as well. Finally, coat the body with the alchemical ooze swarm that paralyzes.

All very awesome ideas!! I'll look all this up and see what I can do to spice things up
