The “Oku” (Cynidiceans)

While reading the Maze of the Blue Minotaur I got a Lost City/Cynidiceans vibe from the Oku. Not sure if that was an inspiration but the Cynidiceans also wear animal masks, live in a dream-like state and believe they are the animals the mask portrays. The Oku are a bit more aware of their surroundings, […]

Thoul

From the Lost City Adventure (actually, the Expert set but this is the only place I have seen it used). Weird monster will use it as a potential encounter in Maze of the Blue Medusae as a cannibal critic “boss”. Original entry: Thoul. A thoul is a magical combination of a ghoul, a hobgoblin, and […]

Kinixys Ziteki ancient reptile king

Oneiric Pudding

Another conversion for my own reference. Lifted from “Through Ultan’s Door” and dropped in as a random encounter for Maze of the Blue Medusa. Abbreviated 5e conversion below. Before the creature strikes it gives off an aura of dream visions. Use any surreal art as an inspiration of what the PCs see. Each must make […]

Carnifex the Demonic Plumber

5e (simplified) conversion from Maze of the Blue Medusae for my own reference. THE DEMONIC PLUMBER Carnifex appears as a blue and yellow obese bipedal toad with a dozen eyes and sharp sabertooth-like teeth. He cackles and giggles like a madman finding everything, in particular misfortune, funny. If killed he turns into a puddle of […]

Negamancer

The high-crested Negamancers of the Neonate Empire practice the philosophies of anticausality. These chameleonoid anti sorcerers come forth from the ruins of Nyctopolis to contest any human claim to the Maze. They are typically accompanied by an escort of 1d4+1 Thrall Mammals, usually, white apes, controlled with a pearl white globe — if they are […]

D6. Hall of Lost Grandeur

There were too many rooms in this dungeon that were essentially “break down door and kill the orc”. Mixed it up by changing some of the room encounters. This was the last time they encountered the stonewalker spirit as he took over statues to harass the party. The party got surprise and the red onryoki died in the first […]
