#Dungeon23 Tomb of the Vampire Queen, Level 6, Room 7

 A hidden alcove on the far right of this room has another visitor looking for food, though the food only just walked in.

A large Ochre Jelly moves towards the party.  This one has been feeding a lot lately and has 7 HD.

The jelly has no treasure.

 

Mail Call: Fright Night Classics Adventures

Nice new mail call. Especially when it is a book I worked on. I have to admit this never, ever gets old to me.

My "The Nightmare" and a great one, "Medieval Mysteries" from Scott George set in a medieval monastery. 

Yeah, I am pretty happy with this, to be honest.

You can get all the Fright Night Classics Adventures on DriveThruRPG.

#Dungeon23 Tomb of the Vampire Queen, Level 6, Room 6

A secret room in the back of the Thoul hole leads to a larder, but this is no Troll or Thoul hole.

This is no larder of a troll or thoul. This is the storeroom of the Shadow Elves.  There is food and water enough for five for a week here. 

There is no treasure or weapons, but the characters gain 100 xp for finding this room. 

Monstrous Mondays: Monster Mash II

 No new monster today because I am working on the final bits of my new Monster Mash II: A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Monster Mash II: A Midsummer Night's Dream

More Monster Classes for Basic-era Games

For years brave adventures have been going into the dangerous wilderness and fighting monsters.  

Now the monsters are fighting back.

Monster Mash II is an Old-School Essentials Classic Fantasy compatible game that allows you to take on the role, not of a stalwart hero, but as one of the monsters.

This book features 12 faerie and sylvan-based classes.

Bugbears, Centaurs, Hamadryads, Leprechauns, Nymphs, Pixies, Púcas, Satyrs, Werebears, Werefoxes, Woodwoses, and the Faerie Witch.

New spells for Clerics, Druids, Illusionists, and Magic-users. 

New spells, occult powers, and ritual spells for Faerie Witches. 

All are completely compatible with Basic-era OSR games and my previous witch books.

Coming this Midsummer!

#Dungeon23 Tomb of the Vampire Queen, Level 6, Room 5

 Going back and taking the central tunnel goes on for a long time (100') it leads to another room that appears to be another troll hole. Though in this room are not trolls, but Thouls.  

These thouls (4 in total) are distantly related to the trolls in Room 5. They are not sure how, but they know there is a kinship there, so they do not attack each other.

They can cause paralysis (like ghouls) and regenerate like trolls. 

There is Treasure Type C x5 here. The thouls have been very successful here.

Note: The shadow elves are immune to the thoul paralysis.

#Dungeon23 Tomb of the Vampire Queen, Level 6, Room 4

 The tunnel continues on and splits into three other tunnels. The first one on the right leads to a dark hole-like room that smells terrible.  The room is very dark and it is nearly impossible to see unless the characters have infravision.

Inside this room are two very large Trolls.

These trolls have maximum hp and are hungry. They have been eating shadow elves and are hungry for something with a bit more meat on them.  They attack right away.

#Dungeon23 Tomb of the Vampire Queen, Level 6, Room 3

The tunnel opens up into another large cave system.

The party will encounter three Shadow Elves. They are on patrol. 

Once this Shadow Elf community was vibrant, well. As vibrant as these elves ever get. But a thousand years of exposure to the Vampire Queen's evil and the necrotic forces here (not to mention what strange radiations are coming from the ship above) have reduced their numbers and made the remaining elves slightly better than ghouls. Their alignment is now Chaotic (Evil).

They will attempt to talk to the party, but on the first sign of advantage, they will attack.

In addition to treasure they have food (more of the good mushrooms) and wine.

Note: Dwarves will notice that these passages are steadily going down.
