#Dungeon23 Tomb of the Vampire Queen, Level 11, Room 6

 Entering this encounter area the party can see exactly what they are encountering. Ahead are four (4) gargoyles. 

These gargoyles are inanimate until the party comes within 10' of them. They can thus be avoided. 

They have standard treasure.

 Moving to encounter area 5 the party sees a pile of bones.  The bones reassemble themselves into two large bone golems that attack.

If they are defeated they will reconstitute in 3 hours. 

The only way to permanently kill them is to burn their bodies.

 Entering encounter area 4 the party encounters a black dragon.

The dragon is angry and demands to know why it is here and not in its swamp. The party has a 10% (+5% per bonus of Charisma) to convince the dragon not to attack right away.  

If it talks it will tell the party it had been in its swamp and it was pulled here. It is angry and thinks the party has had something to do with it being here. 

Consequently, it has no treasure here with it. 

--

Some monsters are brought in by magic, others are stuck here.

 This encounter area is another classic monster. 

Coming up the hallway to the party is a 9-headed (9 HD) hydra.

October RPG Blog Carnival Wrap-up

 October was my time to host the RPG Blog Carnival. This year my topic was Horrors, Gods, and Monsters. For this, I did a lot of postings about my Black Forest Mythos set of gods and monsters.

I did not get through all my Gods and Monsters so I am going to keep on going.

But there were others that participated as well.

The Ideocron of The Oracular Somnambulist had Spooky Scary Skeletons! with tables to make your skeletons more spooky and interesting.

Codex Anathema always has good stuff. Their entry covered "Horrors, Gods and Monsters" AND they helped me practice my Spanish. ¡Gracias!

Sea of Stars gave us a new monster, the Thornkin.  You know I love new monsters.

Seed of Worlds expands on their petty gods with d8 natures of this quasi-godlike entity. Tables for your OSR (or really any) game.

Stuffed Crocodile, one I have been lurking at for a bit for their Dark Eye content, gives us a new monster, Wiedergänger. This one will be a lot of fun to use!

Finally, we have V Donnut Valley. We get a monster and a god.  Not to mention that they are hosting the November Blog Carnival, Let’s Party! Festivals and ceremonies! I will certainly have to find something for my group of gods here.

I hope you enjoyed all these entries and the ones I did! Looking forward to participating again next year.

The party reaches Encounter Area #2 of this maze. They encounter a Purple Worm.

Note: One of my desires here is to have some "classic" Monster Manual monsters here. With some tweaks here and there.

Halloween Hangover 2023

Well...not so much of a hangover, really. Covid-19 still has me down (I tested positive again just a bit ago).

October Movie Challenge

Follow Timothy's board October Horror Movie Challenge on Pinterest.

Last year I said I'd hit over 500 by this year. Well...I was not expecting to get sick so I am seven short. Too bad really. It would have been nice to hit that 500-movie mark. 

RPG Blog Carnival

I'll get a wrap-up of this this week (or next). I am going to do more of these gods and get a recap of what others have posted as well.
