Collaborative Cave #2 - Updated map (see 1st post) - Now doing room assignment

[Tonguez]

A community of Aquatic Elf/Drow hybrids?

Aquatic Driders with the bodies of Sea Scorpions

OR mutant albino eel-drow

We have to keep this OGL thought, right?

If so, Mind flayers and Destrachans are out... unless people know something I don't An abberation of some kind inhabiting that dark stagnant water would be cool though...

I imagine a house above the square area of Room 2 (the square area is the cellar), and the water hole in Room 1 is the village (or house) well.

Interesting. But, why would there be a house so near ancient pyramids?

Mind Flayers are out, but Destrachans are in the SRD.

Aboleths?

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

The aforementioned Sahuagin commandoes?

A community of Aquatic Elf/Drow hybrids?

An aboleth (not plural) would be good. More than one would be a TPK.

I wasn't really thinking that the house would be near pyramids - those were someone else's idea.

I was thinking that the cellar (square of room 2) has a secret door opening into the water cave. Such a cellar would work just as well below a pyramid - or a smaller building near the pyramid - as it would in a house.

How about this: (all input is welcome)

The area above the map is completely grown over - dense forest, jungle even; near the ocean at the foothills of a coastal mountain range.

The pyramids have been completely covered over - they don't even appear as pyramids - they just look like overgrown hills.

The lone house is old, delapidated(sp?) and abandoned. It's an anachronism to the environment - built relatively recently, though still more than a few decades ago. The owner dug a cellar and ended up cutting through into the cavern complex in the process. Perhaps the cellar isn't even below the structure - but next to it, and was intended for "future expansion". Perhaps the structure was a ruined wizards tower - the wizard released some bad mojo out of the cave, and it killed him. Now, above ground, there's basically a hole next to the remains of a long abandoned tower.

Mind my asking why you want area 15? It seems kind of boring to me...

I had an idea for the room that seemed interesting to me...it would have to partially tie in to other rooms in the complex, but I doubt that will be a problem.

I like the way this sounds! We might need to add an overland map for this CC

Just don't do what an old DM did in a game I used to play in.

"Arboleths (sic) are basically aquatic Beholders".
