More Murder Murder Hobos & Non-Humans Join In

Did you know you can meet not just murder hobo parties in a dungeon, but there are common types to look out for. These parties or warbands attack the dungeon for treasure. They dont want to share, and humans are just another dungeon humanoid to them.

Each party has a name
Each is out for gold and glory or relics
Maybe adventurers might be holding relics they own
Or maybe humans just look at them funny

Also, this d12 for any rival parties

d20 What Made Adventurers Turn Bad?
1 Greed and murder turn them increasingly cruel and craving blood and gold
2 Debt from vices like drugs, gambling, and carousing. Gotta kill to make more money again
3 Tragic backstories have made them bitter edgelords and they dress the part, and they use them to justify cruelty and vindictiveness
4 Evil cultists influenced them with treasure and unrestrained killing, leading adventurers to embrace a strange cult for a purpose in life
5 Evil patron employed them on increasingly dank missions to wear down their empathy for others with gold and violence
6 Vain and proud, obsessed with some personal code and revenge against rivals trying to steal their glory and gold. Might request a duel, but will want a blood feud
7 Desperate bastards and lesser children of nobility desperate for money and power and to be accepted or revenged against families
8 Obsessed with vengeance and needing cash, anyone in the way is an enemy who does not matter
9 Tainted by evil through mean deeds and contamination from lurking in haunted places
10 Medical problems, brain damage, dementia, diseases, parasites, mutagens
11 Psychotic and ultra-violent, d4 1=berserkers 2=paranoid & deluded 3=crazed canibals 4=ethos of violence and evil from hellish influence
12 Tainted by curses, evil books, alien spores and forbidden occult knowledge, now nobody else matters, only the acquisition of more dark knowledge. Possibly, they had a well-intentioned reason once and may even have been on other planes
13 Been desperate for food and starved in the wilderness, made them bitter survivalists and, in some cases, cannibals
14 From desperate poverty or had been living homeless for a while. Now we are desperate to make good and live well, possibly flamboyantly and a bit vulgar. Crushed velvet hats with feathers might be a sign that they make money
15 Homeless veterans living on the road, doing odd jobs, murdering people for small change or boots. Maybe even eaten someone once in hard times. Pissed off and scarred
16 Former agents of a faction are doing increasingly odd, violent jobs. Even worse now, freelance. May adventure for cash, bounties or on a quest for an employer. Dirty, competitive and users
17 Served in the military and became jaded to slaughtering humanoids in dungeons with a millitary organisation. They only think of their group and survival and have all become worse
18 Prison escapees, lived as bandits on the run and now dungeon raiders for cash and a way to get back good in with civilisation. Paranoid and willing to use lethal ambushes and lots of sneaky thieves
19 Members of an order involving beatings and mindless suffering and lost empathy for those not so enlightened. Become more indifferent to others and maybe rationalise murder with philosophy and reincarnation
20 Young brat pack able to torment others without consequence and the approval of families. Cool to be cruel rakes and harlots who live for parties, vice and breaking taboos. Murdering dungeon monsters becomes pleasant like hunting or fishing, a relaxing hobby. Probably best they dont hang around urban areas so much now
