As always thanks for finding links like these.
1. Really cool, I can imagine some kind of desert mummy who dehydrates you on a slam attack or cuts you open and place salt chunks inside from his bag to dry you out.
2. Burnt City sounds like a great Prophecy storly line.
3. Sounds like a Wizard battle gone bad. Would hate to walk into that storyline.
5. Knowing citys were abandoned intact makes it more plausible that creatures could come in and takeover without the "where are the people" inquiries.
8. What happens when some BBEG decides to raise the long lost Monster
