Blogger doing strange new format things some incomprehensible buttons and difficulty seeing my toolbar on the blog editor.
Here is a nice picture of a donkey battle wagon. In my current game these and oxen pulled are the normal chariots but barbarians use some strange animals like terror birds. These wagons are heavier and less manoeuvrable. Possibly some of the civilisations in my setting might have more. I need to get my bronze age minis out again.
Busy resealing a fishtank and having panics over finding test kits but otherwise fine.
(all ok tank failed for purpose now has a surprise 9cm rescue Australian Green Tree frog)
Spent lots of time working on tank setups and dealing with local frog addicts.
Taking care of my list of unpleasant adult stuff I want to avoid bit by bit.
This felt like work and took a long time 2 weeks - phew
if I repeated any entries please let me know
my editing skills are sub normal
Will be working on GoatQuest booklet a bit

d100 Magic Mountains
01 Snowcap Mountain - tall frosty mountain nobody has ever climbed and returned is the home of frost elemental beings around an elemental node that affects local weather systems
02 Stonetower Peak - a great peak ith an exceptionally tall and narrow stone tower commonly swept in clouds, long ago giants built this as a secret landing post for their sky castles and there is a secret stairwell that goes into the depths into a magically guarded place of a lost race of lawful giants
03 Burning Mountain - once was a coal mine here but it caught on fire and it still burns. Cultists come here as most people avoid it to various abandoned mines. The mines were built by gnomes and dwarfs long ago and were shipped out by vast underground tunnels to kingdoms of the Underland
04 Twinspire Mountain - a double-peaked mountain with trees and several climbing routes. Of three routes two get to the lesser peak, one with less climbing and more steps. The third is a famous challenge that has killed many. Climbers mostly the privileged or wilderness guides seeking fame
05 Stonefist Mountain - a knobby odd shaped mountain people imagine looks like a dwarf fist. Actually, a dwarf fortress was destroyed and overrun by the undead then sealed away. Undead dwarves have been seen in the area
06 Gloomfire Mountain - a black twisted cave filled volcanic peak often. The fire within was killed by a god long ago but goblins and cults crave the mineralised and crystalline remains that have formed in this dead fire being

08 Red Mountain - eroded and windswept with cave art in the cliffs shelters. Strange sea fossils are found here and have attracted tourists, scholars and cultists. There are many hidden warn sinkholes and squeezes that lead to caves inside. A long lost tribe of albino fish folk live inside

29 Hellcap Mountain - a mountain with several volcanic vents and strange mineral springs that make it smell of chemicals like sulphur and acid and salt. inside great caverns are many old mines used for alchemist ingredients.

Recent visitors say the mine is full of cultists and petty devils who seek a Hellgate in the deep
30 Auroch Mountain - a craggy mountain with grazing land protected by aggressive giant prehistoric cattle who systematically hunt and kill anything that might bother their children.

Where the mountain is most eroded are entrances to this subterranean eldritch ruin.

Many strange magic relics can be found but they are different and more dangerous even though common here

They know the ways of dragons and giants but shun metal and any who use it
68 Darkwell Mountain - a crater peak has a supernaturally black pool choked around shores with blackened human remains. Cults come here seeking to worship the ancient spirit of darkness here that cannot leave. Strange monoliths cover the lower slopes and a tribe of subterranean cave cannibal folk guard the mountain by eating intruders
69 Frostspear Mountain - no humans have ever reached the peak as it is surrounded by blizzards and darkness and even the air is so weak some vomit up blood.

70 Devils Knob Mountain - A fiery volcanic peak with a peculiarly elongated blunt peak where occasional fiery discharges can be seen erupting. Each time new lava flows solidify into surreal shapes. Vava vent and tube tunnels riddle the interior and a strange wicked tribe here wear devil masks and came to have escaped hell. They hate devil worshipers who visit to kidnap the tribe members and learn tribal secrets. As far as they know all outsiders or intelligent species serve hell and they are not sure they really have escaped. They associate metal to use with devilry and use magic molten rock to make helmets and plates of armour over leather and have razor-sharp obsidian edged warclubs
71 Burningstar Mountain - a star fell into this mountain burning into the deep where the forces of Underland defeated and imprisoned it. A great sprawling prison citadel where guardians from the coalition of Underland species served for centuries here but fell apart leaving a handful of fanatic demihuman and abhuman monks.

Many fortifications assume amphibious assault and the scouts use hidden flooded sinkholes everywhere

78 Glimmer Mountain - some see a shining light on the peak at times from the very inaccessible secret library-observatory of an order of wizard seers.

56 Skull Mountain - a gloomy mist and storm shrouded rough mountain covered in caves they say are connected to the Sunderland kingdoms and to the underworld where the dead are kept. Quite a few strange rare undead roam the peaks as well as death and demon cults. Some come to plunder the underworld or save someone who the gods withhold from resurrection or eternal life. Bat and hyena abhumans dwell here to for various reasons
57 Skybourne Mountain - windswept mountain difficult to climb but riddled with windy caverns and cliffs.

The elemental invisible air spirits here make such climbing more dangerous. On the peak is a portal to the elemental plane of air
58 Grey Mountain - a gloomy weather-worn mountain, actually a civilisation was buried under this mountain and over the ages, things have survived and burrowed within. Where the mountain is most eroded are entrances to this subterranean eldritch ruin.

Many strange magic relics can be found but they are different and more dangerous even though common here
59 Frostpeak Mountain - an ice-capped peak surrounded by chilling winds, frost giants have been living on the peaks and the great ice caverns riddle the mountains and attract planar bings of frost and ice.

60 Grimforge Mountain - where a past dark lord build a subterranean citadel where he made millions of orcs and abhumans to wage war on the world which ran out of ffod and fell to starvation and disease. Cursed by undead and forbidden land to the orcs who guard the mountain. Inside are the forges of the Blue Blades of Grimforge used by evil heroes that used demon blood quenched magic steel. Many seek the knowledge or even remaining metal or weapons and adventurers have waged war on the ruin for centuries. You find lots of dead and surviving adventurers lost in here
61 Stone Egg Mountain - inside this harsh mountain cone is a crater with remnants of a stone egg a kaiju once hatched from that grew into a city-destroying horror. The mountainsides are clawed and scratched by a giant badger that tried to get the egg from all around. You hear rumours of some huge thing seen flying near the mountain sometimes
62 Stardrop Mountain - a mountain dropped on a demon of the outer void in the dawning age from the firmament of heaven leaving a star.

They know the ways of dragons and giants but shun metal and any who use it

These villagers themselves are of an unfamiliar people with stone tools that say they came from slaves escaping the Sunderland who took generations to escape and only their shaman will touch metal
70 Devils Knob Mountain - A fiery volcanic peak with a peculiarly elongated blunt peak where occasional fiery discharges can be seen erupting. Each time new lava flows solidify into surreal shapes. Vava vent and tube tunnels riddle the interior and a strange wicked tribe here wear devil masks and came to have escaped hell. They hate devil worshipers who visit to kidnap the tribe members and learn tribal secrets. As far as they know all outsiders or intelligent species serve hell and they are not sure they really have escaped. They associate metal to use with devilry and use magic molten rock to make helmets and plates of armour over leather and have razor-sharp obsidian edged warclubs

A great sprawling prison citadel where guardians from the coalition of Underland species served for centuries here but fell apart leaving a handful of fanatic demihuman and abhuman monks.

Many fortifications assume amphibious assault and the scouts use hidden flooded sinkholes everywhere

Some say there are only so many quests to overcome like 777 or some random another number
