[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9858838, member: 467"] The "story" of the con-campaign is that the Moonless Vale appears once every 1000 new moons (80ish years) for one month, disappearing again at the next new moon (the vale has a new moon the whole time). It travels from world to world, so there are all kinds of crazy things in the vale, from monmsters to mutants to magic to tech to even stranger things (no Vecna though). As such, each adventure site is completely unique. In order to get a sense of what this place is, I am going to roll the two !! boss monsters first and see what we see. Note that this is a Deadly site, from the d6. Boss monster #1 (near the entrance is a d6=5="Guarded by Minions" Boss monster #2 (the Axe room) is a d6=1="Physically Strongest." Oh. Interesting. In order to get some inspiration, I am going to roll a random page in the monster list for each. There are 71 pages of monsters in the SD book, so if I roll 8d10-7 it should do. For boss monster #1 I roll 44, which puts me on page 237: nagas and nightmares. I think Boss #1 is a bone naga worshiped by (roll=31=page224) Guards. Okay. Boss #2=39=page232=Manticore (since it is supposed to be "physically strongest." Okay, now a story of this placed is coming together. I think the manticore has moved into the dungeon and "taken over" from the naga worshipping cult of soldiers. They are at a bit of a stalemate, perhaps. But lets fill out the rest of the rooms before I go too far. [/QUOTE]
