Gakimushi Nest

The original cut content used phase spiders which I didn’t really feel was very “Oriental Adventures”. Swapped them with these guys. Had my PCs head scratching but otherwise a fairly straightforward encounter. Gakimushi Nest Lurking in the upper arms of a 100’ high keteleeria is a particularly dense web which shrouds the whole canopy of the tree, which chokes within […]

The House of Withered Blossoms

The dungeon was split into two sections – the pagoda itself and the dungeon below – Munasukaru’s Penance. I didn’t modify the pagoda except to add an Amrita Trap. My PCs scouted the pagoda using conjured spiders, speak with animals and a wild shaped shaman and decided that up was not the right way to […]

Tsuchigumo – The Great Sea Spider

A few more monster conversion from the 3rd edition Creatures of Rokugan Oriental Adventures supplement. TSUCHIGUMO The King of the Kumo Gargantuan monstrosity (titan, yokai), chaotic evil Armor Class 17 (natural armour) Hit Points 324 (24d20 + 72) Speed 50 ft., climb 50 ft., swim 30 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS […]

With the Oriental Adventure conversions complete back to my actual campaign which involves a tournament to win the Mortal Blade. To make sense of these entries you will need to look at the adventure flowchart which gives context and explains my changes but it’s essentially a conversion of the Ruby Phoenix Tournament but with a […]

The Five Storms Team

Hok Fong the Eunuch

Bright Flame the Magical Girl

SHENZUZHO the HEADLESS

krakentua

Continuing with the 2nd edition Oriental Adventures conversions. Krakentua seems to be made up from whole-cloth with no reference to Japanese/Asian mythologies. Seems to be a kraken with legs or a really, really big mind flayer. KRAKENTUA Gargantuan fiend (titan, oni), chaotic evil Armor Class 18 (natural armor) Hit Points 472 (27d20 + 189) Speed 20 ft., fly 60 […]

Regretta, the Bronze Liche

Deadly in combination with the deathshrieker and iron cobra. Used as part of the Bronze Liche encounter. Definitely some Warhammer inspiration in here as well – specifically, the Tomb Kings. Regretta, The Bronze Liche Medium undead (construct), lawful evil Armor Class 17 (natural armor) Hit Points 396 (36d8 + 108) Speed 30 ft. STR DEX […]
