"bloody bones" ring any bells?

[funkysnunkulator]

just had a renegade thought....

anyone remember a module that featured a type of undead known as bloody bones?

this creature was summoned from the underworld as a sort of undead commander.

anyone remember this module?

drawing a blank here.

Dragon #138 has an article "The Ungrateful Dead" by Tom Moldvay featuring a monster called Bloody Bones. Is that is?

 

[funkysnunkulator]

hmmmm. not sure. seem to recall it being an adventure. just can't remember anything about it. last saw it in the mid 80's?? (not sure, can't really remember anything about it. just a feeling it must have been the eighties. definitely predates v2 and v3.

shoot. any rate, maybe that article will have a reference to this (not just the monster).

well, with any kind of luck, this is only the onset of alzheimer's.....

hahahahahahahaha

I do. I have it - C5 , the Bane of Llewellyn. It was run for GenCon XVI. Really cool monster, too... you had the "commander", the bloody bones itself, and 1d4+1 minions.

kerrick, you are officially promoted to 50th level in everything!!!!! the llewelyn adventures were good. the poem about the succession of kings was tough to figure out!!!

irony of ironies.... we have that one somewhere around here.... now just have to find it.

definitely alzheimer's.....

The bloody bones originally appeared in Polyhedron #18. You can also find Garnfellow's 3.5 conversion here.

very nice.

nah. was just a matter of remembering where it came from. someone made mention over here, and then got hit with mental block (possible retardation). just wanted to know which module it was.

still, that conversion is worth rippin' off.... er.... incorporating..... hee hee hee.....

It's worth noting that there is also a creature called "Bloody Bones" in the old Undead supplement from Mayfair Games (for the Role-Aids line).
