Horrible reanimations, deer, possessed appliances?

I was sworn to secrecy by the “Things” in the Lower Levels, including the Basilisk.
There seems to be no one in charge there, since sionnsar left us, (his piping kept them under control) and they have proliferated in alarming numbers.
At the moment, I’m afraid to divulge what I know, for fear that the “Things” will seek revenge. Could it be that the Dust Bunnies have bred with the Basilisk? *shudder* the dwarfs are useless, now, and need DC to crack the whip again.
