Duergar & Daemons Part XII: (To the) City of Copper In which the DM informs our noble heroes that it is Day 122; that it is some twenty-two days from Ball to the Red Cave; and that the chevalier’s preparations for the ‘winter campaign’ will be completed on Day 226, about a hundred days from...

Duergar & Daemons Part XI: Back and Forth Night 103, continued: An hour later, around seven o’clock in the morning on the surface and thus at the end of the day in the Underdark, our noble heroes reach “The Single Man” again. They knock on the door, which opens forthwith, and they are ushered...

Duergar & Daemons Part X: The Single Man In which our noble heroes start the session engaged in conversation on what to do next, but not before the chevalier has been pestering Navarre for at least half of the profits of the trade deal he didn’t negotiate. “I am considering my uncle Alphonse to...

Bah! I saw the name of the original thread a couple of months ago and I've been mulling about that question ever since until the answer suddenly hit me today. And now you tell me this? Not really a question? Sarcasm!? But you shall have my answer anyway! Probably fits better in here anyway.

Spitting images they are. The WD spikehead has no poisonous bite, though. And I don't have access to UO#3 (gnash, gnash), so I don't know whether that version has the poisonous bite--which may then have been edited out by WD for reasons. Still, green man, white ape, wirrn, they're all based on...

There was a spikehead in Underworld Oracle #3--big ape, horn on head. While that doesn't necessarily make its author "Underworld Oracle" (as per the Fiend Folio index), it seems likely. Cool! Didn't know about the Dr. Who link.

Duergar & Daemons Part IX: The Kingslayer In which the chevalier announces that he has changed his mind and wants our noble heroes to buy chain mail from the duergar queen instead of plate armor; the DM informs our noble heroes that their elders do take them more seriously now than they did...

Duergar & Daemons Part VIII: Back to the Surface – Continued Night 65: Some time that morning, our noble heroes notice that the normally stale air becomes more humid, that the temperature rises (from some 8 to 12 °C), and that molds, oozes, slimes – pause for effect – and fungi, lichen, and...

Duergar & Daemons Part VIII: Back to the Surface In which it seems that the visit to the palace led to nothing, that our noble heroes have returned to their folding boat, and that Navarre seems to have forgotten that he is actually quite inebriated. Night 57, continued: We join our noble...

Duergar & Daemons Part VII: Basileus Ante Portas – Continued When our noble heroes reach the amphitheater, they realize that the duergar king is approaching on the other side of the city. And so they start making their way across the city in haste, some more willing than others, and presently...

Duergar & Daemons Part VII: Basileus Ante Portas At some time during the ten-day they spend in and around Stalag, we join our noble heroes as they are discussing the duergar, with Sir Eber expressing his utter and undying hatred for the creatures once again, and the chevalier, as seems to have...

Duergar & Daemons Part VI: Queen of the Dripstone Cavern – Continued It must be around six o’clock in the morning when our noble heroes start climbing the palatial staircase. After a while, they emerge on a plateau some distance up the wall of what seems to be a huge cavern – by far the largest...

Duergar & Daemons Part VI: Queen of the Dripstone Cavern Day 46, continued: Having dropped anchor about half an hour downstream, our noble heroes are waiting for the drowsiness to wear off. Sir Eber and the chevalier are discussing the dwarven helmet, which the latter has donated to the former...
