[QUOTE="Daern, post: 6710198, member: 81800"] Here's what I generated using the automated tool posted on these forums (an OGRE?).

A pile of rocks and boulders litter the passage, a Quaggoth yeti is squashed still holding his greatsword, and a severed demon horn Rest: An invisible Barlugura demon attacks. Day 3: Travel: Dim light, Boneyard, a great cavern, phosphorescent light, floor a pit filled with bones, 3 large horn headed skeletons attack. Rest: Dim light, Webs amongst 14 torchstalks, An obsidian egg smeared with webs and spider blood. When thrown at a target, the egg explodes into a 20'r burst of spiderwebs (DexSave11). Day 4: Travel: Dim light, Single-file, long ladder above, 1 chuul lurking in a pool of water, a patch of 4 “barrelstalk” mushrooms, good for storing water and eating.

Smashing crystals causes an intense burst of light. (12) Rest: Dim light, Giant “rocktopus” slithers in. Day 6: Travel: Dim light, narrow tunnel filled with a massive carrion grub.
