Chagrinspire Mega Nega Dungeon pt1

The immediate mountain of Chagrinspire is covered in strange magic-warping fields and magic-draining zones. Beings cannot be summoned from other planes but illusionary spectral beings or others can be created. Some areas prevent links to gods so priests cannot renew spells or powers in these zones.

These most want to mess with humans and they keep a hellhound in their holy places. Some of their heroes carry cursed oath weapons dedicated to the cult. Well equipped and some have muskets and superior armour with designs to make them seem like imps or gargoyles.
