Random Carcosa

This is very much a work in progress. (As evidenced by the repeating entries you might see below.) Anyway, here are 16 random hexes.

2701

Monastery of 56 Brown Men ruled by "the Golden Hand," a Chaotic 5-th Level Fighter.

Spawn of Shub-Niggurath (AC 15, MV 120 [swimming only], HD 5, Chaotic): a Bone, Blue, Dolm and Jale icthyoid with a scaled hide, 6 eyes, and a suckered mouth. The creature poisonous. Surprised only on a 1.

2702

A large bird of prey stalks the players. After 1-3 hours it will turn and fly off into the distance. The bird does not attempt to hide its presence.

Village of 269 Yellow Men ruled by a Neutral 9th-level Fighter.

2703

Village of 239 Black Men ruled by a Neutral 5th-level Fighter.

Spawn of Shub-Niggurath (AC 19, MV 150 [swimming only], HD 1, Chaotic): a Green plant with a feathered hide, no eyes, and multiple mouths. The sight of it makes opponents flee in fear.

2704

The bodies of countless Blue Men spill out of a door set into the side of a mountain and completely fill the 10' wide shaft leading into the underground. Obscured by the bodies are ancient Snake Men runes describing 2-8 random sorcerous rituals.

A floating circular platform of Space Alien technology hovers 15' above the ground. 1 in 6 chance to figure out how to operate (intelligence modifier applies, only one attempt per character). Can be moved at a rate of 10' per turn. 3 Bone Men with spears have built a hut on top, and "desert fishing lines" hang from the platform. The Bone Men are extremely xenophobic (reaction roll penalty of 2). One of the Bone Men has 2 sleep gas grenades (as sleep spell but a save versus paralysis applies, 30' blast radius).

2705

A War-Machine, ancient and blasted; once a terror, now a collection of rust.

A Blue Man Cyborg with a metal jaw and a robotic hook arm (AC 18, MV 90', HD 4, Chaotic) commands a group of 6-36 Blue Men bandits armed with bone weapons. The bandits demand the players hand over any metal items in their possession, which their leader will proceed to eat. The Cyborg earns +1 to hit for each piece of metal he consumes; this effect lasts one day. (When encountered he has a 0-3 bonus to hit.) His hunger for metal can not be satiated.

2706

An abandoned space alien outpost is now home to a group of 23 Brown bandits. Amongst their possessions is a map of the first level of a space alien research base in hex 2305.

6 Velociraptors.

2707

Spawn of Shub-Niggurath (AC 19, MV 60, HD 5, Chaotic): a Dolm hexapod with a smooth hide, 2 eyes, and multiple mouths.

2 Cthugah's Flame Creatures.

2708

1 Mummy Brain.

Village of 366 Brown Men ruled by "the Silver Fist," a Lawful 6th-level Fighter. The Silver Fist rides into battle on cybernetic horses and wields a mysterious purple sword.

2709

1 Ulfire Jelly.

2 Unquiet Worms.

2710

3 Mutant Teratosaurus (AC 16, MV 180', HD 8, neutral). Feathered Ulfire hide. Immune to heat/fire.

8 Mutant Monoclonius (AC 17, MV 60', HD 6, neutral). Furred Jale hide. Beaked mouth, tentacles instead of legs. Extremely hot (1 die damage per round to all within 20').

2711

Spawn of Shub-Niggurath (AC 14, MV 120, HD 6, Multiple Alignments \[intelligent\]): An Orange humanoid with a smooth hide and 3 heads. One head is humanoid (and Lawful), one head is robotic (and Neutral) and the last head is bestial (and Chaotic). When first encountered, or whenever the creature is under stress, roll a d6 to see which head is currently in control of the beast: 1-2 - the humanoid; 3-4 - the robot; 5-6 the monster.

In the centre of a large expanse of rock howling winds bellow out from an open trap door.

2712

Castle of 35 Ulfire Men led by "the Eyes of Mercy," a Neutral 7th-level Sorcerer.

4 Green Men camp along a dirt road. They are under the control of a mummy brain, which they are transporting to 2205.

2713

Spawn of Shub-Niggurath (AC 14, MV 90 [land] / 120 [fly] / 90 [swim], HD 6, Chaotic): a Bone insectoid with a suckered hide, multiple/insectile eyes, and a suckered mouth. Harmed only by fire.

Village of 299 Ulfire Men ruled by a Neutral 8th-level Fighter.

2714

7 Triceratops.

1 Sabertooth Tiger (intelligent).

2715

Citadel of 98 Red Men led by "The Ram", a Lawful 4th-level Fighter. "The Ram" is a behemoth of a man, never seen without his indestructible helmet.

A humanoid robot (AC 16, MV 90', HD 4, Chaotic) guards the remains of a crashed alien spaceship. He is armed with a sword and a laser pistol. His 3 large eyes rotate about his head. He can not be surprised and will react with hostility to all who approach.

2716

1 Dolm Ooze.

Spawn of Shub-Niggurath (AC 13, MV 60 [land] / 90 [swim], HD 3, Chaotic): a Green amoeboid with a scaled hide, 1 eyes, and a circular gaping maw. The creature has a breath weapon.
