Foulness Underfoot for VIllage Cult Hideouts

Cults are pretty common in my setting and most villages have one or had one in memory.

In Chagrinspire this might include older villages outside the waste or some of the increasing settlements on the borderlands. I might make a list of d12 New Settlements for the wastes.

I've done lots of cults and I'm happy for every sect to be a bit different but I will provide a few sets of quick cult tables. Most of this is to generate what kind of secret chapel and meeting place they have.

Each cult has a d4 local locations one is a shrine
Any that can be in the village should be with entrances to some or all the cultist's homes, Special expert witch hunters are best to be deployed in these trap and cursed-filled passages.

Roll a d4 times on each of these tables

Magic Weirdos - reprising old 2012 stuff

Ive been posting and sharing some old posts of late to look back at my project and see how much I've done. So I thought I would revisit this for Chagrinspire. If anyone wants me to look at some past incomplete thing or idea let me know. Had over 7k hits one day this week which is nice. 

Origional post:
https://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2012/09/some-nasty-spell-casting-lost-races.html

I was probably just trying to be weird here originally but I do like the idea of weird alien magic beings of uncertain origin. The battlefield wasteland there are remnants of the previous ages and even far-off lands all coming here to fight for a millennium. So any weird stuff from the multiverse might end up here. 

These guys are good as weird magic assassins that can be sent after characters. Maybe they are the last of their kind so when you kill them their kind is gone forever.

2nd version of Chagrinspire book up on patreon now 124 pages

Wizard of Nekhaba
Lesser outer void being CE (not a hag or faerie)

AC +5 HD 4d8   MOV 15  

Att fire two d4 magic missiles per round or two silver knives d3
Spells as a 4th Lv Wizard
- no spoken words are required for charm or illusion spells only dance
- can disguise blank face with a mask spell and clothing at will
- ESP as spell at will (they communicate to each other using this)
- scares under 4HD creatures who fail a save for one round if they see reveal blank face 
-their location cannot be detected with magic or divination. 

 
Usually in disguise, they will reveal their true forms when close and casting spells. They act silently and in unison dancing to cast their spells. Each wears a d4x 100gp gold or silver jewellery. Their real form is blank-faced, with pale yellow and golden tattered robes and bandages covering their skin. They may adopt the face of one they intend to kill, especially sinister if several share the same face.

They seek some sinister quest for a magic relic or knowledge for some mysterious reason. They also seek to destroy some knowledge often by killing.  Some believe they serve some outer darkness entity. When they die they shatter into smoking fine porcelain fragments. They often have a magic ring or jewelled item or a magic knife. For years they battled adventurers at the ruin of Nekaba, but found what they wanted, and now sought some new treasure or secret elsewhere.

d12 Plot Hooks
1 A spellbook or relic found by adventurers is coveted by the wizards 

2 A scholar wants to see them so has found a book they want and needs adventurer bodyguards

3 A locked book on the secrets of Nekhaba is found and the wizards don't want any to read it

4 Wizards of Nekhaba are trying to steal a corpse from a church and have besieged it intending to kill occupants with minimal loss to themselves
5 Brothel a mile from a city has become popular thanks to the exotic foreign prostitutes who are said to be from far away ancient Nekhaba

6 Mysterious silent strangers have been following your party 

7 Street performers doing tricks with fire and juggling get in the way of the party 

8 Witness a stranger killed in an accident with a wagon shattered into smoking fragments. Then other witnesses start being killed

9 Dream about a mysterious white and yellow and gold stranger rifling through your dreams searching for something. Someone else in the inn says this and locals warn them they are marked by the Fiends of Nekhaba who dwell in local ruins

10 Someone is killing apprentices of a wizard. Turns out one found them mentioned in a book and tried to do some divination about them and showed some other students

11 Strangers keep drawing magic sigils and signs in places you visit

12 A stranger in your room is going through your belongings searching for something

Hag of Gerberrack*
Lesser outer void being NE (not a hag or faerie)

AC +4 HD 5d8   MOV 12 Jump 2 Fly 12 (if on broom)

Att 2x punches d4 or grab and 1x tentacle grapple if quit human appearance
-each round held by a tentacle save to resist being implanted with an egg
Spells as a 5th Lv Wizard
- no material components or spoken words are required for charm or illusion spells
- can disguise tentacle face with a mask spell at will if not attacking with it
- three or more can generate a fog cloud 1km across if they chant for ten minutes
- requires magic or silver weapons to hit and normal fire causes minimum dice damage
- plane shift twice per night under any single full moon

Any victim implanted notices nothing for a d4 months before bursting open and releasing worm-like larvae which tries to flee. Mostly this is fatal or save to survive with half HP lost. Larvae AC+3, HDd8, d4 bite, Mov15. When they die they explode into a sticky protoplasm. 

Robed shrouded figures as they get closer appear attractive and friendly needy pilgrims who need food and comfort. Really they came to this world to use humanoids as part of their alien life cycle then return to the outer void beyond the celestial dome. The hags were most frequently seen near one village Gerberrack where a cult summoned them once allowing them to visit this world when the stars were right. Some sensitives feel the mist the hags produce is evil and alien. Some tales say they come to deliver messages to those damned by the outer gods of the void. They aid cults in trouble but take a member as a sacrifice each. They also appear to rescue larvae


d12 Plot Hooks
1 As cultists are killed one calls upon the hags for revenge
2 On the road or in an inn peaceful pilgrims ask if they might travel with you

3 A desperate cult sacrifices three of their own and call on the hags to destroy the witchfinder and local officials including mayor, magistrate, bailiffs, sherrif and chapel priest
4 A sick travelling companion dies horribly at the dinner table and the larvae feed and hides. As people hunt it mysterious-robed pilgrims arrive who are of course nursmaids for the spawn
5 A cult disguised as merchants have larvae in jars and accidentally break them so they escape
6 After the funeral of a local man who exploded a fisherman caught this hideous worm and is trying to sell it to adventurers or evil wizards or cults
7 An old tome "The Gerberrack Chronicle" has been found which holds secrets the hags think are best forgotten. Local sages and wizards and cultists all want to read it
8 Each full moon by a standing stone several hags appear and terrorise the locals and eat pets, mutilate livestock and whisper horrible threats to residents through walls
9 A stranded hag awaits a full moon to escape but is a bit hungry so killing a local daily
10 A knight is guarding pilgrims who are really hags who stir up trouble for the knight constantly. He has killed three strangers accusing the pilgrims of evil deeds
11 A theatre is putting on a play about the "Hideous Hags of Gerbarak" and some real hags come to see the show to see if the performers and audience need to be killed
12 Isolated rural people have folk dolls and woven fabric depicting hags all over cottages and say the hags protect them. In reality this is a giveaway the village is a cult and will call hags for help by sacrificing prisoners of cult heretics in their under village cult tunnels

i will do some more of these soon

Homebrew d20 Game Prep

 

Ive always quite liked skill systems and stat rolls and for me peak TSR D&D was 1985 with the Dungeoneers Survival Guide which probably kept me playing D&D a few more years before I went Basic Roleplaying Playing BRP and TSR Marvel which I still play and is my current game. I got back into D&D 12 years ago as ppl were becoming interested in playing it so while sick I wrote my version of BX from memory and started this blog. This became my Elfmaids & Octopi homebrew rules which I rewrite every few years. 

I really liked the Dungeoneers Survival Guide for giving you additional things to do and face but also for the skills and even the survival and crafting rules. I didn't like they had various pluses or minuses unique to each skill that were negligible and petty so we dumped them. I thought lots of stuff in OA could have been in more settings like martial arts skills, family and honour (Pendragon does it). 

I got back into old D&D because it had smaller stat blocks than BRP for enemies so i could prep a adventure and stats on one sheet quickly. Modern DnD5 is not really like this. As I have been solo testing some stuff the complexity of these games increases by 5th level and that is like breaks on being fun to play and more like a job. I quit XP as it also consumes time and encourages players to crack the game-advancing system by killing and looting not live in a campaign setting. I find money is at least interesting and has game world effects. Possibly high level play works better with 2-4 players. I usually encourage all those low level followers and meatsheilds to be minding your property by 5th lv rather than adventuring due to this time increase at hight levels.

I like d20 stat based rolls for saves and skills and use the above table. A seasoned level of skill (actually having a relevant skill) with a typical challenge gets a full attribute score to roll under on a d20. Prime attributes for classes also count as seasoned. Unskilled but plausible skill attempts are half (round up). A clueless idiot can try a hard skill task but only has their ability score bonus if any as a chance. This last one is how unskilled people find secret doors while moving quickly in a dungeon. Mostly I let people try stuff at a reduced chance and consider other penalties to help or hinder characters. Good plans and optimal situations always help. 

If a character searches hard the exact right place they should find the hidden secret there. Skills are more of a shortcut and not always a replacement for gaming.  

Easy task would be one a skilled person would do in their job without thinking about it but more challenging for someone without professional skills. 

An average task usually has an element of haste, rush or risky vs doing the same job with lots of time in a lab. These tasks do have an element of risk and danger or expertise making it harder for someone without professional skills.

Hard tasks are risky and dangerous for experts and very hard for the inexperienced and very unlikely to make it.

I have considered changing combat more but for now it's roll high for a target number. One change I am making is no mortal can get more than +20 total to hit or AC. You can keep increasing your total but only +20 total can count. Divine monsters and demigods can go higher. Gods in my game don't like +5 weapons and having a +6 one gets gods after you. One result of this is fighters with the highest scores can do increasingly reckless stuff and lots of hit penalties don't stop them much which helps for swashbuckling stuff like hit that guy on the head while swinging with a prince under your arm. Various abilities adding a +1 or +2 become more meaningless as does -4 to hit an invisible foe when your fighter has a very high plus.

I do want my game to at least to be playable to 20th where you are at risk of being made a demigod. Worse still your apotheosis will be painful and tragic for gravitas when the gods painfully pressgang you into immortality. As I make ppl start with kinda meek stats each level will get you +1 on a stat. I'm fine with going from a wretched sewer urchin at 1st to a paragon of perfection by tenth. Im incorporated Lv0 into my core character gen literally for plying session zeros with and making simpler starting characters for noobs. It can be skipped for people later joining in or replacement characters. It kinda gives you a few benefits for suffering as a weakling.

Im also thinking basic monster stat blocks could just have class levels added to them like at least fighter or thief. Works for all kinds of creatures simply. A basic goblin +1 level fighter might be a veteran or a dragon + 12 level wizard seems fine really. It's quick and simple really and will make dangerous villains fast. 

d100 Features of the Star Wall

The star wall or Star Fortress is the name of the walled fortifications around Chagrinspire. A third are mostly destroyed rubble or buried in mud. The lakefront wall is partly flooded and badly damaged but occupied by fish folk and worse.

The wall is not just a circle but made of star point projections allowing the cannons and artillery in the walls to overlap in fields of fire. The walls have watch towers, gatehouses, cannon towers, artillery bunkers and trenches surrounding them. Some parts of the wall opened into awful traps like courtyards with mazes, minefields with no cover and safe shooting positions for defending soldiers. 

Most of the apocalypse war was fought in no man's land between two lines of trenches, AT the end the Black Sphere soldiers withdrew and as the allied powers poured in they were largely wiped out by new war machines and guns and gas.

Actually, it's all a bit murky at the last battle who won and how but both sides were heavily depleted of basic resources, materials and willing fighters. People like to think the Black Sphere was stopped and is now non-functional. There are books about it being stopped but they cannot be verified and it is uncertain who really wrote them.

These are for exploring the outer walls and some provide entrances, hazards or defences.

The wall is 60m tall and 20-40m wide. In many areas is fused into the mountain where cliffs have collapsed or been buried by rubble and mudslides.

58 Crawling swarms of hopping undead body parts like hands, intestines, feet, hearts and so on that live in the cracks of the wall

59 Gremlins live in cracks and love to torment or even eat big folk. Often they just smuggle their babies into traveller's luggage to grow into mischief-making saboteurs. Will eat rations, foul blankets, shit in your pants, cut cords, undo stitching, tear book pages, misplace tools and worse

60 Living statues of ancient heroes are usually relief sculpted into walls and will activate if they don't see the right uniforms, hear a password or have a Black Sphere millitary banner or flag
61 Wall semi-collapsed leaving a pile of rubble and exposing multiple interior floors reachable by a sloped heap of rubble

62 Stone cannonballs some enormous stuck in walls and in some places leaving holes in the interior

63 Mud and alluvial deposits of ash and filth on the Charginspire mountain have overrun the wall from the inside burying the interior and making the wall passable up a muddy steep slope. Earth elemental creatures lurk here and there is a berried portal to the elemental plane of death that burrowing creatures can operate

64 A huge siege machine or land leviathan or juggernaut has crashed into the wall in the final stages of the apocalypse war. The destruction makes climbing wall or entering it easier

65 A stumbling kaiju attacked a wall and died here breaching the wall and its remains are buried in the rubble of the wall. There may be some taint of chaos or divinity remaining

66 Thousands of skeletons piled into a gentle ramp burying many of the the lower levels of the wall and breaching it. Anyone doing the maths here will be depressed and necromancers will be mining this for millennia to come and have pilgrimages here

67 Volcano has erupted under a wall leaving a bubbling volcanic vent releasing smoke and ash. It can be used to breach the wall or enter it. Fiery beings live here and there is an elemental gateway node that heals and sustains such creatures and provides reinforcements

68 Water pours from the wall forming a small lake that drains into a channel that reaches one of the many rivers coming from Chagrinspire. Water elemental creatures and bitter nymphs frolic here and there is an underwater portal to the plane of elemental water. The wall interior levels can be reached behind the waterfall 

69 Wall is split open and pounded by fierce winds making movement tricky. Air elementals here soar around with glee and protect a gate to the elemental plane of air. Sylphs will greet strangers to determine their intent before letting any being pass

70 Some god or kaiju walked through the wall here leaving a channel of rubble and footprints tainted by their essence. Thousands of bodies lay scattered of both sides
71 Occupied bastion held by orcs d4 1=cyclops obsidian skinned with lightning bolt wielding heroes and magical smith 2=blood red skin swine faced serve devils and demons 2=green chaos berserkers born of gods blood 4=grey skin cave tribe use no metal or fire

72 Occupied tower held by clan of elves who establish their own ecology of dangerous pet animals with mixed goblinoid lower caste who do most of the fighting working and dying and are most of the population d4 1=wood elves grow vegetation over the area 2=dark elves grow fungus everywhere 3=bright elves place magic lamps, holy wards and seals everywhere 4=moon elves leave invisible protoplasmic monsters and series silvery light

73 Dwarf bastion where a clan have taken and continued to hold with reinforcements from home. Also, they make money here recovering ancient relics. They are wary of strangers but good dwarf manners will get you in the door to be tested

74 Overun by trolls who have made their own doors, windows and scaffolding structures. Most are in same gibbering idiot but their king claims to be of the kind long thought extinct who were as mighty as the faerie 

75 Goblinoids have built their own civilisation with a ruling council of various goblinoid peoples. Leaders elected by elders include the monarch, the war chief and the boss shaman but all available to bugbears, goblins or hobgoblins. Other exotic goblinoids are ineligible. They have made a magnificent dense mushroom filled gobloinoid town of traders and crafters. Goblin markets are most nights but other feasts and festivals keep them lively.  Wary of elves or other faerie

76 Ogres have taken over the area smashing new openings and making various ramps. They smashed open structures exposing many floods and tearing the place down. These are chaos ogres with axes and clubs opposed to the black Sphere Cult. Occasionally their former kin attack, Black Sphere allied ogres in iron helmets, iron cuirass, a blunderbuss and a halberd. They now believe this heap of rubble was always here and they are rulers of the centre of the universe on the primordial heap of rubble. Forgotten the mission of their ancestors mostly

77 Mutants occupy this bastion complex and are overcrowded and smelly. They collect scrap and spread contaminated alchemical waste to keep away everyone. They have a monarch and a chaos wizard preacher

78 Beastfolk have taken over this area modifying it and adding entrances, windows, burrows and places to climb and leap about. They have a monarch and a shaman. Tribal allegiance to d6 1=chaos 2=demons 3=druids 4=monster kings 5=hell 6=faerie 7=cosmic law 8=black sphere cultists

79 Gnome airship tethered to a citadel surrounded by intact walls. Grey gnomes include paratroopers with gasmasks, supported by aerial bombardment of poison gas and smoke. Automaton soldiers and fighting machines guard their walls

80 Black Sphere Cult barracks, still occupied after a thousand years and now just patrol the wall and skirmish well-established other faction-occupied zones. Have advanced firearms, some automatons and an artillery wizard
81 Covered in chaos and demon cult insignia 

82 Relief sculpture in the wall has been vandalised or defaced or painted with obscenities

83 Thousands of names of pilgrims who visited here and a well

84 Walls gruesomely covered in impaled corpses of hundreds of Black Sphere Cult soldiers

85 Huge phrase painted of a Black Sphere Cult maxim, visible miles away 

86 Wanted posters for various maniacs of the wasteland someone pastes all the way out here from many lands. How they get here nobody knows. Being listed here is a matter of pride among warlords

87 Statues and relief sculptures have been shot to scarify beyond recognition

88 Propaganda posters and murals

89 Loudspeakers exhorting Cult of the Black Sphere maxims loudly cut with music and news of the glorious war on the front

90 Cults paint huge 3d embossed gothic script demon names and demon portraits and their lewd rites and tag demon sigils to mark gang cult turf
91 Cut stone walls melted by some terrible force long ago with petrified remains if inhabitants in the rock. Possibly turned into mud then back to rock

92 Burned rubble with a crater of some terrible burning impact long ago

93 Wall is imprisoned in ice with frost creatures from some elemental subplane. Unnatural cold radiates from the area and doors are surprisingly brittle 

94 The forces of hell have warped this area and features decorated to hellish decor fashion with fiery pits, chains, screaming prisoners and pools of burning lava. Doorways here may actually portals. Imps offer you spells for contracts with hell

95 Walls are bleeding some strange substance d4 1=blood 2=slime 3=poison 4=oil

96 Automated artillery piece with a golem face fires shells up to a mile per ten minutes with a team of loaders and a hundred workers melting scrap and making ammo. The gun is their god 

97 Recently exposed bunker elevator doors containing a complex of the ancients to survive the apocalypse war that ended a thousand years ago

98 A tower hurts to look at. It broadcasts an aura of fear that also prevents plants from growing. It is part of the Black Sphere doomsday apparatus that may inform factions how to beat the wasteland

99 Crystalline region frozen in time by law in the final days of the apocalypse war entrapping a fighting force of ancient veterans. Some groups want to free them

100 Pristine Black Sphere citadel complex surrounded by a dome of defensive darkness. Inside there are hundreds of outer void cult wizards doing some huge ritual
