[366 Days of Monsters] Day 058/366 - Attack Salad

dmdave post [366 Days of Monsters] Day 058/366 - Attack Salad from patreon

Most of the gnomes of the Wallingmiotta are vegetarians. Thus, a popular dish served by many of the gnomish families is a collection of garden vegetables called a "salad." Unfortunately, when you live in a magical forest, sometimes the greens you pick are tainted with magic. Often, this ambient magic results in nothing more t...

Might be a quiet weekend

Hey all!

Just thought I'd share with you that my wife is having some pretty major surgery tomorrow, so I might be quiet over the next few days. Although I'll be off work, I have no idea how much of my time will be spent helping her out once she recovers.

In the meantime I'll try to show up in the Discord and at le...

dmdave post [366 Days of Monsters] Day 057/366 - Fuguhito from patreon

From the Depths rise the fuguhito. Land lovers call these spine-covered water breathers "pufferfolk", and as one might expect, the fuguhito looks like a humanoid pufferfish. Their needles are not just sharp but carry a powerful toxin capable of paralyzing foes. 

Servants of Qhek. The marid...

[Side Trek] Those Who Writhe Below - Adventure for 12th-Level Characters

dmdave post [Side Trek] Those Who Writhe Below - Adventure for 12th-Level Characters from patreon

Aboleths are horrible, ancient aberrations rarely seen anywhere in Omeria. Only the most learned Dinzer mages know of their presence on the long continent, and even then, they keep silent about these unspeakable creatures. One of the ancient passages in Librex Malmütaronn suggests there may have been an aboleth in t...

dmdave post [366 Days of Monsters] Day 056/366 - Sorcerer from patreon

As descendants of the dragonkin of Aegraya and the Great Chromatics of The Summer Land, sorcerers are creatures born with innate magical powers. Anthroposcopic features such as yellow eyes, scales, and sharp features often betray the sorcerer's origins. As such, those who are without an innate ability to obscure such features...

The inak (EE nok) are an intelligent undead species that haunt the tunnels below the northern portion of the Basilisk's Spine Mountains. Superficially, they appear to be skeletons bound together by thick, boiled leather However, their skeletal structures consist

Another prolific offshoot of the Great Pressonian Chromatics, subterranean drakes (also called zogo-ba-inak by the Spine inak) are dragons that have adapted to life in the Low. In these labyrinthine tunnels, the drakes are safe; Omeria's spellcasters fear to enter their domain mostly due to the wild dokh nuzeghs who ...

dmdave post [366 Days of Monsters] Day 053/366 - Dokh Nuzegh from patreon

Dokh nuzegh (DOKE nu CHAY) roughly translates to "no magic dog" in Goblin. Certainly, the "no magic" part is accurate; Dokh nuzeghs possess a natural hatred of magic. In fact, their disdain for magic is so great, that the beasts will run at top speeds for dozens of miles without stopping to find and kill a magic-user. It's ra...

Xenem's greatest defense is the sheer uninhabitable nature of the volcanic ash and poisonous gas that surrounds the island. Of course, that hasn't deterred creatures from trying to storm its beaches in hopes to overthrow the Blood Lords and Emperor Xenem. Thus, the vampires rely on other defenses to protect their lands.

Three hundred long years on Casar and oh how I loathe one creature so. Vadriken the Three-Timer, Warlock of Omeria, Fist of Brar'enaath, Eyes of T'qin, Touch of Ereyth—and countless other insipid monikers. I'd throw it all away just to rid the realms of the scum. Yet, he persists, like hot tar on bare skin.

For twenty-five years, Man has lived on The Skeleton Key as a prisoner of the Serpent Whisperers. The warrior women used him as a zukterin, or breeder, to help propagate their race. He remembers very little before then, but he does remember the tunnels below the temple and the monsters that live there. The only other...

The Black Swamps of Barkor are home to more than just the vile creations of the danaavrakt. T'qin the Double Mantis, a creature of near-divine intelligence and wisdom, makes its home there. T'qin is a horse-sized praying mantis with two heads. Both heads share the same mind and T'qin sees itself as a single entity.

Yazur is a 900-square-mile island off the coast of Northern Omeria. For reasons unknown, magic does not work on the island. In fact, its antimagic aura extends up to 5 miles beyond its beaches. As such, ships rarely pass through the channel east of the island. Dinzer aircraft avoid the area at all costs. And for more than thi...
