Mask 09: Eye-Mask of Nlin the Dreamer

Stolen from an ancient chamber of occult artifacts.

The mask is a very basic wooden mask with black, ink-brushed features and a fleshy, pulsating purple eyeball. The wearer can see through the nearest wall on a roll of 5-6 on a d6.

On a 1, however, the watchful eye of Azgag pinpoints the wearer through the infinite mists of time and space. If the wearer fails to save versus spells, Azgag the Watcher tears through reality, kicks a hole in the nearest wall and steps through it. He is very angry and wants his brother’s eye back.

Azgag’s Wrath – AC as plate; 10 HD; 2d6 dual spiked flail / 1d6 awful chomp / 1d20 eye beam; devour spell on a 4, 5 or 6 (once per round); MV 9"; AL C

Wrath is but one aspect of Azgag’s many forms, though it is one of the most ferocious. It is a 12’ tall demonic ogre of mauve complexion. It wields a giant, dual spiked flail and its great stone teeth can grind bone to dust. Its terrifying eye-beam emanates from the bulging green eye on its forehead and can reduce foes to embers in seconds.

The first time a spell is cast against Wrath each round, it has a 3-in-6 chance of devouring it outright. The spell is rendered inert and sucked into a giant swirling vortex on its belly, healing the demon-ogre for 1-6 hit points.

Delving Deeper - BRAINSLUG as Monster

Following on from my previous post on brainslugs as player characters , I immediately realised I hadn't included any monster writeup for the brainslug. BRAINSLUG as Monster No. Appearing / No. in Lair / AC / Move Rate / HD / Lair Nearby / Treasure Type / Alignment 1 / 3-12 / 9 / 3 / 30 / A1-3 / N BRAINSLUGS are slimelike translucent oozes that are almost entirely constituted by their enormous, fleshy brains. Like other oozes, they can move along walls, floors, and ceilings equally, but cannot squeeze through tiny openings due to their large, vulnerable brains. They are difficult to spot in dim light as they appear much like growths of pink moss or coral. They are susceptible to psionic and piercing attacks, but resistant to crushing attacks. Brainslugs attack with their natural pseudopodia for 1-6 points of damage. A brainslug will attempt to parasitise its victim’s brain if it lands on them from above. Its dominance rating is equal to 6-21 points. This is checked against the vict...

Mothership Adventure - 95 Million Light-years to the End of the Universe

Image
cool pic of saturn's hexagon     A Near-Future Mothership Scenario I wrote an adventure for Mothership. It's about a mysterious structure found on the surface of Enceladus, which is an ice moon orbiting Saturn. An interesting thing about it is that it's not set in the usual Mothership assumed setting, rather it's closer to our own reality and you take part in a near-future NASA mission.    I created it originally in a rough form for Gromb's halloween games event. Spooktober 2024 I believe he called it. We'd all run little one-shot games for halloween over the month of October. It was super fun, and it inspired me to write this adventure.   Here it is!    Writing is Hard This is not  the first adventure I've ever written. But it's the first one I've shared online. When I ran it, it was only half-written up. I went back to it after and tried to polish it up. That was a very difficult process. I learned that creating an adventure you can run is only...

Delving Deeper - Brainslugs and Slimes as Player Characters

Image
Note: The following has not been playtested, and is probably completely busted. Enjoy!   I think a party of different coloured slimes slurping through the dungeon, all with different abilities, would be really fun. A blue slime could have healing powers, a grey one could dissolve metal, an ochre jelly could divide, etc.     All of the following is designed to work with Devling Deeper v4b, which is available for free online at https://ddo.immersiveink.com/ . A slime fights and gains hit die as a cleric.    Arms and Armour A slime's pseudopodia act as natural weapons and have surprising reach. Slimes can use their pseudopodia to attempt to wield arms and complex tools, but they will only succeed with a throw of 4-6 on a six-sided die, wasting a turn in the case of failure. Armour is completely unusable by slimes given their semi-viscous nature. However, they are naturally resilient to crushing blows such as from hammers and staves, taking only half ...
