Sounds good to me, d_k.

Sounds good to me, d_k.

what sounds good to you, an overhead collection of Mayan pyramids?

thing is - it complicates the map quite a bit, and adds probably a good 10 more rooms at least.

But I admit, it would be wicked cool.

It could be as big or as small as desired. Even a really big pyramid could have just a small room inside.


Cheers,

True - I'll have to do some research to see what kinds of stuff Mayan ruins have inside them, if anything.

An early heads-up to the other collaborators on what I'm planning on using:

A couple of grimlock 5th-level druids, and a fiendish tendriculos.

I think a grimlock theme could work well, but that's just my opinion. Especially if we re-imagine them a bit into being blind bat-headed humanoids -- my inspiration here is Camazotz. I think the crazy bat ears and crazy bat nose are a good match for the grimlock's sensory abilities.

Something like this?

If you want to go with a bat-theme (an idea I'm totally on board with) - we could create a 'werebat' template and apply it to the Grimlock. That might be kind of neat. We could also make heavy use of bat swarms.

Holy Bat-Aberrations, Batman!

Use some of the sonic abilities from the Sheshayans of D20 Future...or even Destrachans & Yrthaks...or just use them, period, changing their descriptions so they are more bat-like.

Cool when I firsty came across Destrachans (and before seeing the pic) I imagined them as giant mutant bats rather than a freaky reptile. Other things to fit the theme could be Belkers, Harpies, Stirges, Digesters, Avoral and of course all the Mephits

The bat theme explains how the denizens survive on the high ledges above a river.

But then again what might lurk down beneath the water...

Aboleths?

A small community of Mind Flayers...even an Elder Brain pool?

The aforementioned Sahuagin commandoes?

A community of Aquatic Elf/Drow hybrids?
