Thanks.
Here's one more...an oscillation of beholders. |

Dissonance...I like that.  |

A keen of banshees. So fitting.
A dissonance of phaerimm. |

A turbulence of beholders. |

Well, I AM the World's Greatest Procrastinator, simply because I've always got too much going on!  |

Sage is no ordinary sage. |

I'd rather have an obduracy of sages, since they're the most obdurate beings in the multiverse. |

A grumble of grognards. |

A shudder of sharn indeed sounds fitting. |

As if he doesn't already argue with himself often? |

My own fictional world to be launched soon uses fun terms of venery as well; three to five ogres is a risk; a threat is 3+ risks, and a menace is 5+ threats.
Count me intrigued; I have always been a fan of your work. |

Very nice. Are there terms for a large number of half-dragons? A clutch? What about treats? A thicket of treats, maybe? |

How about 'brood'? |

It's a good thing that the Lady K isn't reading this. I'd imagine she'd have more than a few "creative" suggestions for what to do with a 'second' Sage.   |

Thank Lurue for that! Two Sages -- or, more specifically, their two never-ending to-do lists -- would surely rip a hole in the fabric of time and space!
Well they'd think it was a good idea, scribble a few notes on how to go about ripping a hole into the fabric of space and time.....get distracted.....forget all about their plans
And and .........voila! Were all still safe and sound! |

CR's suggestion of an "argument of scribes" is also fitting, though perhaps better suited to sages. Alas, we have only one Sage so we cannot address the plural form. |

Perhaps A Scribble of Scribes is fitting? |

As it relates to Crawling Claws, Monsters of Faerūn lists the number appearing as solitary, group or "applause".
Kick ass. |

Though sci-fi-ish, a quantum of phaerimm sounds good, too. |
| Dennis |

I think "enclave of" was used in RotA. |
| Quale |
Posted - 08 Jan 2011 : 19:14:07
other than hive-clutch, I've seen ''enclave of'' used
insect-terms works for my Realms where they have a future similar to the Great Race of Yith |
| Dennis |

Hive sounds so insectile. I favor the suggestions by fellow scribes. And I think 'dread' fits them perfectly. |
