Kiri-Jolith's Temple, a Brief Respite and a Rescue in Progress

Image
07 Newkolt 349 AC Note: The Temple of Kiri-Jolith is based on "The Ghost Blade" from the 3rd edition Dragonlance Campaign Setting Sourcebook, modified for level and to fit the plot of our current campaign. AT THE ABANDONED TEMPLE OF KIRI-JOLITH The smell of the stale dank air fills Grotto's nose. He let's his eyes better adjust to the darkness. Grotto looks for anything unusual in the stone that may indicate a trap on the door. After searching, he enters the door. Grotto also investigates the chamber before proceeding thru the door. At the bottom of the steep stairway, the  tomb opens up into a plain room, approximately fifteen feet on a side. The ceiling here, as in most of the tomb, is about 10 feet high. A circular stone door stands opposite the stairway, apparently leading farther back into the tomb. The dwarf proceeds forward carefully, eyes scanning the ground and walls in a constant pattern. He crouches down, his Dwarven senses noting an instability in the...

Giant Man-eating Toothed Clam

Image
I was listening to YouTube today and heard the phrase "Pleistocene Man-Eating Giant Clam" along with an incredibly brief discussion of their dentition pattern (incredibly brief because clams don't have teeth). But hey, this a role-playing game so why the heck not? Which leads me to tonight's post. This Clam is based on the AD&D and Pathfinder versions of the Giant Clam presented using 3.5e rules. There is also a version for the Epoch RPG. Giant Man-eating Toothed Clam CR: 3     Medium Vermin     HD: 3d8+6 (22 hp) Init: -5     Spd: 5', Swim 5'     AC: 15 (-5 Dex, +10 Natural), t: 5, ff: 15 Attacks: (BAB +2; Grap +7); +7 Bite: 1d6+5 plus Improved Grab SA: Crush, Improved Grab SQ: Blindsight 30', Vermin Traits Align: N     Saves: Fort +3, Ref -4, Will +1 Str: 20, Dex: 1, Con: 15, Int: - -, Wis: 10, Cha: 9 Skills: Hide +3, Swim +13 Feats: - - • Blindsense (Ex): C...

A Hidden Crypt, the Northern Army, Defying a Queen, and a Rescue

Image
07 Newkolt 349 AC Note: The Temple of Kiri-Jolith is based on "The Ghost Blade" from the 3rd edition Dragonlance Campaign Setting Sourcebook, modified for level and to fit the plot of our current campaign. AT THE ABANDONED TEMPLE OF KIRI-JOLITH Lorraine looks at Grotto and asks, "Are you going to stand there all day or open the door? I'm not getting any younger here." Grotto shoots Lorraine a look. It takes a few quick blows of the pick to break the door open. The pieces fall away, dropping down into the hoke, revealing a stairway of shaped earth, leading downwars into the earth. "But there you sit! Let's get moving then." Grotto draws his throwing axe and enters the darkness. Grotto can see that the room at the bottom of the stairs has a floor made of packed dirt. Lorraine takes a breath, "I think I'm going to wait up here. I am far too old to go traipsing around some dungeon." EN ROUTE TO THE DRAGON ISLES Ag'nesallynn fli...

Separate Ways

Image
07 Newkolt 349 AC AT THE ABANDONED TEMPLE OF KIRI-JOLITH Grotto goes to investigate the temple ruins. He starts with the largest tree in the middle. While searching he continually prays to Hanseath to see if he can feel his divine power. The Dwarven God of War and Drinking does not answer but all the same, Grotto can feel a sense of serenity in the small grove. He crouches down, scanning the earth, running his fingers along the ground, closing his eyes to shut out input from his other senses. Lorraine watches in quiet amusement when Grotto pauses, pinching some soil between his thumb and forefinger. He brings the ground up to his nose and sniffs it, and then touches it to his tongue. He nods and lies flat, turning his good ear to the ground and listens. The scarred dwarf sits up, "There's a passage below, maybe twenty feet down." He scoots along the ground, stopping to listen every couple of feet until he reaches the base of the tree itself. He feels along the thick ro...

The Throne of Fur

Image
07 Newkolt 349 AC Menathradon arrives in Silvanost, having teleported in from the Tower of Wayreth to assist in the rebuilding process. AT THE PARTIALLY REBUILT HOUSE OF HEALING Grotto waits to hear Agnes response about her kin joining the war and any clues to dark catacombs. Agnes nods. "I could go back to my clan and tell them about these dragonmen. Somehow, I feel like they are linked to our stolen eggs." She gazes off into the distance for about a minute and then shakes her head. "Sorry. I was thinking about how I would get back to the island, I didn't mean to ignore your other question. I know nothing about hidden catacombs beneath Silvanost." Arthur looks to Lorraine, "By any chance is there a crypt in this city? Or some long forgotten tomb?" Lorraine shakes her head, "We have mausoleums for our departed. This close to the river, we have had problems with flooding in basements since the water table is so close to the surface. I suppos...

The West Canyon Campaign

Image
The West Canyon Chronicles Last spring, while working on a way to incorporate Boot Hill into my play-by-post fantasy campaign, I started bouncing story ideas around for a crossover.   I was also looking at tourist-y things to do with my kids when they came out to visit for the summer and I learned that the area I was living in was rife with possibilities for a mixed supernatural and historically-themed Wild West campaign with mystery and adventure around every bend.   I used the basic geography of the region (Spanish Fork Canyon) as the basis for the setting, converted the town of Glister into Cactus Brush, and used the old Boot Hill modules Mad Mesa, Ballots and Bullets, and Burned Bush Wells as a starting point.   As I began to write, ideas literally flowed through me.   I wanted more than the standard Western setting that Boot Hill reflected and began incorporating horror elements with a little bit of Deadlands and Fistful of Zombies thro...
