Cloud Giant-

A cabal of cloud giant sorcerers, convinced of their own superiority have declared a holy war upon the neighboring tribes and kingdoms, and with the aid of conquered ogres and hill giants attempt to forge a new empire with themselves as its leaders.

The cloud giant armies wreck havoc in the great central mountain range of the land sweeping all before them. Heading north, they come upon their greatest obstacle and richest prize, the Citadel of Moradin, home to the dwarves of the land.

As fate would have it a group of adventurers has just crossed the mountains from the east and entered the citadel, unaware of the war they have stumbled into.

Storm Giant next-

 

[alsih2o]

large lake on which a lot of shipping occurs have recently been brought to a shipping standstill because of bad weather caused by a storm giant who is ravaging anything that attempts to ply the waters over his underground home.

what noone has yet figured out is that he is simply angry because the love of his life, a silver dragoness, is long overdue to return from her research being done in human form.

turns out the silverdragoin had dealings with a nasty night hag and has aquired demon fever. she succumbed to the disease before making it back to the hills over the loch and lies racked with fever in a local primitive hospital run by lawful monks fo rthe poor and orphaned.

if the adventurers can locate her after finding out why the storm giant is upset and have here healed and returned the storm giant will promise to consider favors asked by 3 generations of their offspring.

giant eagle is next-

Giant Eagle

A mage is researching an improved Fly spell, and needs giant eagle feathers. [fresh and undamaged only] The eagle might be willing, but has qualms about the feathers being in the hands of a mage whose reputation is "not of the best".

Party can steal the feathers, buy and not mention who will be getting them, or try to make some deal with the bird [or just kill it if the party is the more violent type, tho there is danger this will ruin the feathers]

Giant Owl...

A local were-rat clan is offering a hefty bounty for the death of a Giant Owl, who has been hunting and killing the were-rats one by one during each full moon.

 

[Grishnak]

A Ravenloft setting for the Gibbering Mouther.

A doctor calls the for outside help when his patients and staff start to disappear and strange noises are heard throughout the assylum. He tells the group that a creature of nightmares is loose and killing patients and staff and that strange noises occur with the deaths and a few trickles of blood and in some cases the ground has turned to a quicksand.

Girallon next:

This thread has to be bumped so...

Girallon:

A group of adventurers arrives in Port Orloth, a small trading city on the small island a few hundred miles south of the Old Kingdom. The port is a base for miners who have come to gather gold which the otherwise unexplored island has in abundance.

However, the small city is in the grip of terror. Monthy, bands of indigenous wild elves raid the cities poor defenses and kidnap young women. A few rescue parties sent to find the abductees have found the gruesome remains of the victims on the high central plataeu of the forested island interior.

As the PCs investigate, they realize theat the tribe of wild elves have been kidnaping young women as a sacrifice for a very old girallon (20 HD Huge Size) that they worship as a forest spirit -god. Without this sacrifice the elves fear the girallon will destroy their settlements.

The party has to either negotiate with the elves to end the sacrifices or prove themsleves stronger than the elf's god, and destroy the girallon in its forest lair.


Next up..gnoll

 

[demiurge1138]

A large city's equally large cemetary is targeted by midnight raids and body-snatchings. Suspecting ghouls, the local priests bless the area, cast consecrate spells, line the boundaries of the graveyard with iron filings and salt, all to no avail. Targeted by mockery from the local mage academy, the high priest hires the party to investigate, little knowing that the true culprits are a gang of gnolls lurking in the sewers...

Next, gnomes! Rock gnomes, specifically.
Demiurge out.

 

[Pbartender]

Gnomes...

Far, far upstream, a band of Gnomes has dammed the river to turn the waterwheel that provides power for their mechanical inventions. Downstream, the river has dried up to a trickle. Formerly irrigated crops are withering, and the city is growing thirsty. The charcater must find a way to restore the water flow.

 

[demiurge1138]

Blatant BUMP!

 

[alsih2o]

a group of "smallish dark elves" have begun harrassing copper miners deep deep in the mines. they usually hide disguised a giant mushrooms until a sufficient number of miner are near them and then reveal their true selves, ravaging and harrassing the miners. miraculously, none of the miners have been killed.

what is really happening is a splinter faction of svirfneblin have begun using change self to take on drowish appearance, and some minor illusion magic stolen from their surface dwelling cousins to appear as giant fungi. they are harrassing the miners hoping that the surface dwelling population will strike at the drow, relieving the pressure on their kin to carry the fight. searching amongst shriekers and violet fungi for the "drow" will be difficult, and if they find them could be dangerous. and of course, adventurers could always run into some real drow in the process....

forest gnome is next-
