| Half-Ogre Bodyguard | This huge warrior is unmistakeably a half-ogre, as his 7 foot tall
frame clearly shows. He looks strong enough to snap a human in two. He
is clad in leather Armour and wields a massive hammer.
The half-ogre bodyguard grins stupidly and roars, "You weak, me STRONG!" |
|---|---|
| Half-Ogre Guard | Chosen because they are smarter than their hobgoblin and ogre compatriots,
the half-ogres play the roles of guards here. Wielding heavy bastard-swords
in one hand, and Armoured with spiked shields and iron scalemail, they present
difficult foes.
The half-ogre guard leers at you cruelly, and brandishes his weapon. |
| Half-Ogre Warrior | This huge half-ogre wears brigandine Armour, and wields a massive maul
as if it were a light club. It grins at you stupidly from beneath its helm.
The half-ogre warrior grunts loudly, hefting its massive maul. |
| Half-Orc Sentry | This tall, ugly creature has the features of a human, but the cunning
and ferocity of an orc. Used as lookouts because of their greater discipline
and perception, they are not quite as tough as their full-blooded orcish
brethren.
The half-orc sentry draws his blade and shouts, "HALT scum!" |
| Handsome Man | This incredibly handsome man is a vision of perfection. He wears long
white robes, and has an expression of ultimate serenity and happiness upon
his face. He carries a bowl of delicious-looking fruit in his hands.
"Welcome to our oasis, traveler! Please make yourself at home, our food and drink are yours if you wish them. Here, have some fruit, it will sustain you and replenish your energy!" |
| Hanging Cocoon | This roughly man-sized cocoon hangs lifelessly from a thick strand of webbing. The entire cocoon is coated in some kind of very sticky liquid, and a steady drip from the hanging mess has formed a small pool underneath it. |
| Harpy | This filthy beast looks like a cross between a human woman and a large
carrion bird. Her greasy feathers are a grey-brown in color, and her hooked
talons look extremely sharp. Harpies are known to be the most unclean of
creatures, often infecting their victims.
The harpy screeches loudly, and eyes you evilly! |
| Haunting Spirit | This wispy, translucent apparition is bound to this area in death,
and wails mournfully.
The haunting spirit softly moans as you hail it, and turns to face you. "Who are you who enters this forgotten catacomb? Long has it been since any living being has dared to break the silence of the dead! And longer still since Orfeo and his songweavers defended this crumbling fortress..." |
| Healer #1 - Temple | This tall, solidly built woman has bright green eyes and long blonde
hair which is plaited into one long braid hanging over her left shoulder.
She wears the same long white robes as her brethren, with the difference
that her sleeves are rolled up to her elbows.
The healer bows humbly and smiles, "Greetings, friend. For a modest fee, I can heal your wounds, detoxify any poisons in your system, cure you of disease, or remove any form of curse you may have. Simply look a the sign, and BUY whatever curative spell you desire." |
| Healer #2 - Newhaven | This short man stares at you with a somewhat brooding look, with dark
eyes set deeply in his skull. He sports a small black beard, and is quite
stocky in build. The white robes he wears clearly show him to be a healer.
The healer bows humbly and smiles, "Greetings, friend. For a modest fee, I can heal your wounds, detoxify any poisons in your system, cure you of disease, or remove any form of curse you may have. Simply look a the sign, and BUY whatever curative spell you desire." |
| Helfgrim | This tall, powerfully built man has long reddish hair and flashing
blue eyes. His ferocious demeanor is offset by his soft and calming tone,
which is more suited to a diplomat than to a weaponsmith. He wears nicely-stitched
leather clothes, and a broadsword sits nearby.
Helfgrim doesn't understand you. |
| Hellhound | This nightmarish creature looks at first glance to be a huge wolf with
greasy black fur. It is hideously misshapen, however, having glowing crimson
eyes and unnaturally large fangs. It wears a spiked iron collar around
its neck, in some sort of parody of domesticity.
The hellhound growls at you menacingly, a wisp of smoke trailing from its mouth. |
| Hideous Abomination | This gargantuan beast is covered with black, rubbery skin and wickedly-curved spines. Many serpentine tentacles sprout from its hunched back, and its eyeless head is wide and blunt-nosed. Its mouth is filled with fangs and is large enough to swallow someone whole. |
| High Druid | This tall, dark figure is garbed in a robe of deep grey, with silvery
runes about the cuffs and hem. A long white beard flows from the depths
of the hood, and glittering eyes peer at you evilly. The high druid holds
a wicked-looking golden sickle with a shimmering edge.
The high druid laughs heartily, exclaiming, "Save your breath, fools, as it will surely be your last. My golden sickle will gut you, and my arcane spells will scorch your flesh and rot your body! Your blood and entrails will be a fitting sacrifice to the powerful forces of the elements!" |
| Hill Centaur | This fierce, territorial centaur warrior roams the hills protecting
the boundaries of his tribe. He is garbed in leather Armour and wields an
impressive composite bow. Centaurs are known to have explosive tempers
when provoked, and trespassers are not tolerated.
The hill centaur exclaims, "Leave our lands, trespasser, or feel my wrath!" |
| Hill Giant | This huge sixteen foot simian creature has long forearms that droop down to his knees. The only protection he has is sewn together animal hides and his only weapon is a huge gree branch that he carries over his shoulder. Despite this, you know he is formidable.
The hill giant growls at you menacingly! |
| Hill Giant Chieftan | This monster stands a full seventeen feet tall, with massive muscles and arms the size of tree trunks. He wears a bear skull for a crown, and the pelt of some mammoth. He carries with him a massive wooden club with massive spikes jutting from it, which he swings with ease.
The hill giant chieftan grins stupidly and roars, "You weak, me STRONG!" |
| Hill Giant Shaman | This huge sixteen foot humanoid is dressed in many colored animal skins and pelts. You can tell by the bone trinkets and fur pouch that he has at his waist that he is a shaman of his people. As you look at his black eyes, you see a glimmer of zealous furor.
The hill giant shaman growls at you in fury, and attacks! |
| Hobgoblin | This tall, brutish figure is unmistakeably a hobgoblin. Its cruel eyes
glare out at you evilly from its helm, and it hefts its heavy flail with
malice.
The hobgoblin leers at you cruelly, and brandishes his weapon. |
| Hooded Traveller | This odd-looking stranger wears riding leathers, and is shrouded in
a heavy cloak with a hood, which obscures all the facial details, but from
the powerful build and body shape it could only be an adult man. His glittering
eyes peer out at you from the depths of his hood.
The hooded traveller looks you up and down slowly, his odd bright eyes glittering like gems from beneath his hood. He speaks with a great rumbling voice, murmuring a wry welcome, and the almost hypnotic sound of it brings up images of deep, secret caverns, and exotic far-away lands. There is definitely something of the mystical about this being, and when he opens his mouth again, you are transfixed and can do nothing but listen to what he has to say: "Now who may ye be, wonder I," he says, as if speaking to himself, "and with master Gaal, what be ye business. Adventure be ye goal, perhaps? Excitement and intrigue to liven up ye limited time in this plane? Be that ye intent, Bound One, and all ye hast to do is inquire about a quest, for indeed Gaal has a bit of a journey for ye, if 'tis a journey ye seek." <Game note: if you ask about 'quest', you will embark on the mission, and you will not be able to participate in the Good or Evil quests. Make your decision before you answer.> |
| Hordeling | This vicious beast stands only three feet tall, and runs about with
great speed on thin, muscular legs. Its arms are long and sport wicked-looking
claws, while two gleaming green eyes peer at you out of its head. Needle-like
fangs line its wide mouth in triple rows.
The hordeling hisses at the sound of your voice! |
| Horned Demon | This towering demon has brilliant yellow skin and two sharpened sets of antlers that branch out from the sides of its head. Its powerful arms have long, hooked claws, and its glaring black eyes have no hint of mercy in them. |
| Huge Basilisk | This massive beast is nearly fifteen feet in length, and resembles
a brown-black giant lizard. Its eight short legs are thick and strong and
its toothy maw filled with razor-sharp fangs. It hangs its heavy head,
and its large lidded eyes seem to be staring at the ground.
The huge basilisk hisses at the sound of your voice! |
| Huge Dwarven Witchunter | This massive, scary-looking dwarf is nearly as tall as a man. He is
literally rippling with muscles, and looks like he could tear you in two.
He is garbed in an exotic suit of Armour, and wields a strange glittering
sword.
The huge dwarven witchunter eyes you with disgust, and hollers: "Welcome to me shop, ye puny, pale, womanly MAGGOT! Although ye nearly make me puke in disgust at yer pathetic flabby body, I, being the charitable angelic soul that I am, will not crush yer frail bones into powder! Indeed, I would even barter with ye if yer purse be loaded with gold. Every single item in me inventory is top quality, none of that worthless crud they peddle down the street!" He pauses for a moment, spittle running down his chin. You wonder if he is entirely sane, but decide that discretion is the better part of valor. "Also, he continues, "I am a skilled craftsman as well as a canny merchant and champion bodybuilder. If yet have any strange or exotic materials with ye, mayhaps I could be persuaded to fashion them into armour or weapons, if they be suitable, and for a goodly commission. And if ye be a Witchunter, I may have something for you." |
| Huge Fungus Creature | This hulking creature appears to be part beast, part fungus... it is
humanoid, with a jutting head, long arms and stumpy legs. Vicious talons
spring from its fingertips. It is covered with a thick layer of all manner
of fungus, and it is hard to tell if it is even alive.
The huge fungus creature grunts, and goes back to its wood-carving. |
| Huge Gruesome Creation | This monster looks to be made out of parts of countless monsters and animals. Myths tell of a crazed magus manufacturing a magical horror and this nightmare can only be this. Six twisted arms move in chaos as its own mishapen mouths cry agony and its eyes look at you in hate |
| Huge Obsidian Golem | This twenty-foot-tall construction resembles a human garbed in strange, exotic Armour. In one fist it grasps a heavy sword, whose edge appears razor-sharp. Small spikes cover its entire body. Up the center of its breastplate, strange angular runes are carved. |
| Huge Tiger Beetle | This insectile mutation is about four feet long, and has a striped carapace and six jointed legs. Two large, multifaceted eyes are placed alongside its enormous mandibles. Insects of unnatural size
are known for their incredible strength and speed.
The huge tiger beetle waves its feelers about searchingly. |
| Huorn | The huorns are the semi-intelligent trees of the forest. They are not
truly sentient, but obey the commands of the intelligent trees. All huorns
are tough and slow, but can make formidable opponents.
The huorn rustles at you quietly. |
| Hydra | This monstrous, reptilian beast has thick scaly skin that glistens with oily secretions. It has many heads attached to long, serpentine necks, that act independently of the body. Hydras have incredible regeneration and are rumoured to be able to regrow their heads. |
| Hydra Head | Each head of the monstrous hydra has beady, glowing red eyes, and a gaping maw full of wickedly curved teeth. Atop a serpentine neck, each head can attack a different target, in any direction. |
