	Both the [[Illoke jarl]]s and [[Illoke elder]]s have [[Transference (225)]] in their respective repertoires, which does take up a normal amount of roundtime upon casting. The only functional differences between their version and the players' is the messaging and their ability to use it to target players in the area.

		⚫	''>Now, an honest question. Are the illoke supposed to teleport behind the opening (where the [[earth elemental]]s and krynches generate)? They don't ever spawn back there, but if I run through to the opening, the illoke will inevitably teleport to me (often just after I attack something and get into RT) after perhaps five or ten minutes of being back there. There aren't even people in the main area to generate them in the first place as far as I know.

	The room range of the Illoke creatures' version of Transference is solely comprised of the whole of the [[Thanatoph Bowels]].

		⚫	''>Another honest question -- why are the illoke so vulnerable to arrows? They're stone-like creatures, and yet arrows to the eye tear through them faster than I can use my axe to kill [[kobold]]s -- because sniping to the eye takes three seconds, versus my five second swing to kill a kobold.

	This is a result of the Illoke creatures' natural [[armor]], which is roughly equivalent to chain hauberk. This is in contrast to many of their rocky allies, who tend to be closer to full plate. It's much easier to achieve an endroll to get that puncture death critical on the former versus the latter. You might consider swapping out to a nice dagger against them, assuming you ambush and have a reliable means of knockdown.
