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

Village of 274 White Men ruled by "the Wielder of All," a Neutral 4th-level Fighter.

What appears to be a simple rock is in fact The Starseed, a source of unlimited power. At any given time there are at least 1-6 high level sorcerers actively searching for the artifact.

2702

Village of 130 Dolm Men ruled by "The Master of the Universe," a 1st Level Fighter. He wields a magic sword in battle: on command the sword grants +20 HD, and the saving throws of a 20th level Fighter. Only those chosen by the powers of the Grey Castle may hold aloft the magic sword.

A large space alien bomb stands upright in the plains, weathered to the point where it is merely the suggestion of a bomb: 1-6, inert; 7-9, still live, disturb it and it will explode (Save vs. Death if within 30' - save equals 2D10 damage, failure is death); 10, actually a space capsule - contains ancient body in space alien battle armor.

2703

Mummy with lower half of body buried (HD 5, AC 5, eyes shoot 2 lasers, Save vs. Death Ray or take 5 dice of damage). It wears an emerald medallion (2000 GP). Quiescent unless the emerald medallion is disturbed. Two dead orange men lay nearby, one with a scorched hole blown in his head, the other with a scorched hole blown in his chest. 1-6 primitively armed Orange Men huddle at a safe distance discussing how to relieve the mummy of the medallion. They are not interested in treasure other than gems and technology, but will serve if offered such incentives.

A squat Purple Man Sorcerer (AC 12, MV 90' / 120' \[Flying\], HD 2, Lawful) in flowing robes and an over sized hat is in the process of botching the ritual _The Glyphs of the Ebon Lake_.

2704

21 Diseased Guardians.

Village of 280 Brown Men ruled by "the Stern Poignancy," a Lawful 5th-level Fighter.

2706

4 Snake Men attempt to repair a time machine. The Snake Men and their collection of high-tech gadgetry are incomprehensible to characters with an intelligence score less than 18.

2707

A Bone Man (AC 3, MV 60', HD 1+1, Lawful) and a Jale Women (AC 9, MV 120', HD 1+1, Neutral) explore the badlands in search of alien technology for their war tribe.

Spawn of Shub-Niggurath (AC 19, MV 90, HD 7, Chaotic): a Jale arachnoid with a scaled hide, multiple/insectile eyes, and a circular gaping maw.

2708

Spawn of Shub-Niggurath (AC 16, MV 150, HD 7, Chaotic): a Brown ophidioid with a feathered hide, 3 eyes, and no mouth. The creature shoots spikes (1 die damage).

A beautiful young woman, an astronaut from Earth, lays wounded in a recently crashed spacecraft. The ship is damaged beyond repair.

2710

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

Small inexplicable pond, filled with brightly colored fish. The fish are easily caught and if eaten will grant a temporary +4 HP for the day. The pond and fish will be gone upon return, and attempts to preserve the fish will result in unpleasant smelling mess.

2711

Strange ritual space made up of crucified Ulfire Man, small clay jars of water and dried herbs.

2 Unquiet Worms.

2712

Citadel of 115 Jale Men led by a Neutral 5th-level Fighter.

2713

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.

Trails of small insects converge on the rocky husk of a massive dead insect. Within an inter-dimensional traveler to Carcosa lays shackled to the ground. Insects crawl in and out of his body. A sorcerer and his minions are in the middle of casting the ritual Canticle of the Crawling God. They will summon the Crawling God in 1-3 hours.
