A Mushroom Mercenary in the City of Broken Clocks

Inspired by the zine “Ten People You Meet in the Undergarden”. I think this whole zine works well in the Gardens of Ynn. Gerard guards the City of Broken Clocks within the Garden of Ynn from looting. He has been doing this for long time. He is getting bored and he may be tempted to […]

Monstrous Compendium: Visage

I am taking a DM’ing break after the Iron Gods Adventure Path while a friend runs Horde of the Dragon Queen. Nice to be a player again. However I am thinking about my next campaign which I want to be set in Planescape. One of the contenders is Dead Gods as the core of the Planescape game. One of the […]

From the Diary of Rikku the Thief: Iron Gods Session 34

We took a break due to various reasons – weddings, Christmas (and related parties) for about a month. When we came back the party was still in Sigil and decided to pursue a lead about a legendary magic item known as the Belt of the Storm Giant. The party took the bait and decided to […]

From the Diary of Brokthor the Fighter: Iron Gods Session 33

The Crimson Lotus Gang: Charisma, a “human” -mutant- sorceress whose power source is Gamma Radiation which she was exposed to as a child. As a child of the Atom her hair goes green in the presence of radiation and she progressively gets greener the more powerful spells she casts (and as she gets angry). She […]

GERRZOG, THE GLABERZU

Ahh Gerrzog, the original adventure was designed for 1st level characters so something like a glaberzu would be impossible for the group to take on so they would be forced to figure out a different way. But I knew my PCs who are level 15 would charge in, and charge in they did. I […]

Shivinistra, “High Priestess of Athena”

The insane mage that is at the heart of all the chaos currently on the Infinite Stairway. She was the one who summoned Gerzog the Glaberzu to murder her former lover Oriam. Instead, Gerzog trashed the staircase, murdered or enslaved other travellers and trapped both Oriam and Shivinistra on the stairs until the heroes cleaned […]

SAKAI IBUTSU, THE BAKU

This was on the random encounter list for Tales from the Infinite Stairway. Didn’t come up in the random rolls but it was too fun a creature to resist converting to 5e 🙂 BAKU Huge celestial (kami), neutral good Armor Class 14 (natural armor) Hit Points 126 (11d12 + 55) Speed 40ft., fly 60 ft. […]

UNTHRE, GENERAL OF THE VOID

Enthralled by Gerrzog’s inherent charm ability, Unthre the wamor believes that he will become a general in the glabrezu’s armies, which will amass here on the staircase and one day invade the planes of the multiverse, conquering them one by one. In short, Unthre’s become a little detached from reality-but what can a body expect […]

FIEND TOUCHED SPIDERS

These creatures didn’t actually pose a real threat against a level 15 party… however… the nature of the encounter – characters need the spiders web to get across the smashed bridge. The spiders can climb over and under the stairs and can also leap onto a party traveling single file posed other issues. This was […]

MOONTOUCHED GOLEM OF SELÛNE

This golem was created by Selûne herself and protects the Gates of the Moon, the entry way into the base of the Infinite Staircase. This was another creature I didn’t not have to convert, for one I could have used the iron golem straight out of the MM and added abilities on the fly. Secondly, I […]
