Leucrotta: idea for a minor quest?

Senior modders, what do you think about using Leucrotta's special ability to emulate voices to make a nice ambush for the party?
I don't know if it is possible with the ToEE engine, but it could be nice to make a sort of trap or platform (whatever, like Liv's childern in homelet) that trigggers a dialogue with a woman (maybe represented with mirror image animation or a woman that automatically disappear after speaking), that instead is leucrotta's voice. Leucrottas could emulate prince Thormel's voice or, even better, Paida's voice, caught prisoner in the dungeon, so that the party will come to rescue her for Valden or to steal all of her valuable items.
Instead the party may found the 2 leucrotta (maybe restored to 3.5 version with no kick attack and magic spells) hided in the cave or inside an invisibility circle casted by a new evil wizard, that may be a master of leucrottas, and that may cast that spell after a sucesfull listen check or when a dialogue is triggered. When defeated, the last member of the defeated master/leucrotta team may reveal that they saw Paida being captured and brought to lower levels and/or tales about other prisoners in the temple. In this way, we would give more role to leucrottas, increase role-playing element in the game and give more value to usefull spells like true-seeing, purge invisibility and feats like blind fight, that unfortunately can't find enough applications as they should. What do you think, is it possible?

 

I second this idea. In general, I think 'monster alley' (that stretch on the 3rd level of the temple) makes little role-playing sense, I think maybe troika just wanted to show off the cool monsters they coded. I imagine a lot could be done here with some coding.

I feel foolish for giving ideas without tackling them myself, but I have zero programming ability. So, feel free to use, if you are a modder, or ignore at will.

 

well, when you talk to people there is a title is there not? Make the title be the name of the emulated character instead of the actual name. That is surely possible with the engine.
