Monster Description Greeting
Lady Sentara The Lady Sentara is well-known as the most beautiful woman in Silvermere. Though she must be nearing her fortieth year, she looks barely older than half that. Her platinum-blonde hair, sea-blue eyes and girlish figure have made many a man beg her hand in marriage. Lady Sentara brushes her hair back hastily and smiles, "I'm sorry but I am very busy right now. Perhaps you can come back at a better time?" She flashes you a quick grin and goes back to her work.
Lamia This horrific creature appears to be half serpent, half woman. Her snakelike lower body is long and muscular, and her upper body is that of a beautiful, evil woman. In one hand she wields a wavy-bladed dagger, and with the other makes arcane gestures.  
Large Chest This appears to be a large, ordinary-looking wooden chest. It is bound with iron bands, and sits upon four short steel feet.  
Large Gibbering Horror This disgusting blob-like beast pulls itself around with sticky protrusions. It is covered in glowing red eyes of all sizes, and many fanged mouths which continuously babble an almost hypnotic chant.  
Lashworm This is an ugly mottled grey worm, about three feet in length. It appears to be eyeless, and weaves its head about in the air as if searching for something. This hideous beast has a mouth full of extremely sharp teeth, and is known to strike with lightning speed. The lashworm hisses at the sound of your voice!
Leo the Quick This tall, fat man is garbed in expensive crushed velvet the color of red wine. He has an arrogant, pompous smirk, and is quite the braggart -- but many have mistaken him for a weakling and have died to his lightning-quick blade. Leo the Quick has nothing to tell you!
Leprechaun This interesting-looking fellow is clad in green clothes and wears a pair of sturdy shoes. His bright red beard and hair are somewhat spiky and coarse. In one hand he wields a gilded club, and in the other holds a long, smoking pipe. The leprechaun smiles mischieviously at you and laughs.
Leprous Outcast This hunched, ragged figure is swathed in filthy robes and bandage, which completely obsure its features. Pus stains its clothes and a foul reek surrounds it like a shroud. In one hand it holds a rusted blade.  
Lord of the Hunt This terrifying being stands at least fifteen feet tall, and is as lithe as a cat. Garbed in a strange, metallic garb, he wields a long spear which sparkles with blue light. The Lord of the Hunt's bright green eyes almost entrance you as he stares right at you!  
Loremaster Thulgraf This wizened dwarf spends long days poring over ancient tomes and gazing at the sky through his sky-glass. He knows much about what goes on in the world, and even more about its history. Little escapes his keen scrutiny. This ancient dwarf is deeply enraptured by a book he is reading when you hail him. After a moment, as if shaking off a heavy sleep, he looks up, notices you, and exclaims: "Ahh, strangers come to the halls of lore! Greetings, and please help yourselves to the vast library of information I have accumulated here. It is unparalled!" With a sudden start of surprise, he seems to remember something. In a voice that would be funny if it were not apparent he is trying to be stern, says: "Errm, hrmph, I mean, of course, do you have permission from the King to be here? I cannot answer questions nor help you if you don't have official reason to request my aid. A matter of law, you know."
Mad Wizard This golden-robed man has frizzy grey hair and wears thick spectacles. He hurries about nervously, with a crazed expression on his face. The mad wizard looks at you and shouts, "GET OUT! You're disturbing my experiments! GET OUT!"
Mage Spirit Before you stands the shadowed image of a black-shrouded dark elf. His bright blue eyes peer from the depths of his hood, and as he looks you up and down, he seems to nod to himself in satisfaction.  
Magma Man This large, glowing figure seems to be made entirely of red-hot lava! It moves slowly, its huge bulk being a great encumbrance, but its burning fists could cause horrendous damage.  
Manscorpion This hideous creature is part scorpion and part humanoid. Atop a giant scorpion's dun-colored body is the upper body of a human. Its skin is tough and flexible, and it possesses a brutal cunning. These strange creatures use long polearms in addition to their stingers.  
Manscorpion King This hideous creature is part scorpion and part humanoid. Atop a giant scorpion's dun-colored body is the upper body of a human. Huge and incredibly tough, the king of the manscorpions is a fearsome warrior as well as a skilled spellcaster.  
Manscorpion Shaman This hideous creature is part scorpion and part humanoid. Atop a giant scorpion's dun-colored body is the upper body of a human. Its skin is tough and flexible, and it possesses a brutal cunning. These strange creatures use long polearms in addition to their stingers.  
Manticore The manticore is a strange beast indeed -- with the body, legs and mane of a lion, the wings of a bat, an almost demonic-looking man's head, and a spiked tail, it qualifies as one of the oddest monstrosities encounterable. It is a fierce and ruthless fighter. The manticore roars in fury!
Margoyle This hideous creature appears to be made out of dark grey stone. Its curved claws, batlike wings, and horned, demon-like head instill fear in all but the boldest adventurers. They are known to be vicious fighters, delighting in torture when their adversary is down.  
Massive Chest This huge black chest is carved from some sort of glossy stone. Its surface is smooth and marbled with grey. Strangely, there is no lock on it, and no apparent way to open it.  
Master Assassin This lithe, well-built woman has the smooth, angular features of a dark-elf. She is garbed in a leathery black wrap, and wields a pair of long, slightly curved blades. She moves with the deadly grace of a predator, and has a ruthless gleam in her eyes.  
Master Smith Martok This ancient dwarf is unbelievably muscled. His powerful arms appear strong enough to snap an ogre in two. His skin is tanned brown from the constant fires of the forge. A master of his craft, he knows everything about metals and the forging of weapons and armor. The smith doesn't look up from the glowing iron bar he is furiously pounding on the black anvil. In a voice like grinding stone, he says: "Make yer speech quick, young one, as old Martok has still many more o' these t'pound into shape before the day is done."
Master Torturer This cruel-looking dark-elf is feared throughout the city as the embodiment of pitiless evil. He is wearing bloodstained black robes, and carries a nine-tailed whip which is streaked with flayed flesh and gore. A look of insane rapture is upon his face.  
Master Trader Tolgard This hard, portly man sits at his desk going over records and ledgers. Never one to mince words, he gets straight to the point in a very un-traderlike way. It is he who controls this stronghold and all its resources.  
Meia This delicate-looking woman has large, almond-shaped brown eyes and long black hair down to her waist. She is quite young, and is as beautiful as a fresh new flower. She bows slightly at your gaze, and turns away, blushing Meia smiles shyly as you greet her, and gestures to the store's wares.
Mercenary This leather-clad warrior has a decidedly shifty appearance. The readied longsword he carries is notched and looks as if it has seen much use. These mercenaries are sometimes nothing more than hired thugs, and this particular one seems to fit right into that category.  
Mermex Hunter This insectile monstrosity bears great resemblance to a scorpion, except that it has violet-black chitin, and is covered with a multitude of pulsating organic growths, some of which have small tubes protruding from them. It moves with great speed and agility. The mermex hunter scuttles towards you, chittering madly!
Mermex Queen This monstrously huge mermex is covered by grotesquely pulsating organic growths, many of which spout nozzle-like tubes. She is armed with the same vicious pincers and scorpion-like tail as the other mermex, and due to her size, will be a difficult foe to defeat.  
Mermex Royal Guard This insectile monstrosity bears great resemblance to a scorpion, except that it has violet-black chitin, and is covered with many pulsating organic growths sporting nozzle-liek tubes. This mermex is substantially larger and more powerfully built than the others.  
Mermex Warrior This insectile monstrosity bears great resemblance to a scorpion, except that it has violet-black chitin, and is covered with a multitude of pulsating organic growths, two of which have wide openings. It appears larger and stronger than most other mermex.  
Mermex Worker This insectile monstrosity bears great resemblance to a scorpion, except that it has violet-black chitin, and is covered with a few pulsating organic growths. It appears to be heavier built than the other types of mermex, though somewhat slower.  
Metallic Monstrosity This massive, armor-plated beast closely resembles the other, smaller creatures in these tunnels. Scythe-like jaws, fifteen-foot long tentacles and intimidating size set it apart from the rest, as well as gleam of what might be intelligence in its eyes. The huge alien creature shrieks at you deafeningly, arcs of energy crackling across its body! 
MInd Flayer This hideous creature stands six feet tall and has mauve skin that glistens with slime. Its head resembles that of an octopus, with white pupilless eyes, and four tentacles around its mouth. It is dressed in flowing robes adorned with symbols of death and despair.  
Minotaur This hideous, nine foot tall beast has the head and legs of a massive black bull, and the body of an incredibly muscled man. He wields a double-bladed battleaxe, and grins at you evilly.   
Minotaur Champion This hideous, ten foot tall beast has the head and legs of a massive black bull, and the body of an incredibly muscled man. He wields a huge, bone-hafted greataxe with a heavy, single-edged blade. He leers at you evilly, and his squintint red eyes are filled with hate.  
Minotaur Chieftain This hideous, ten foot tall beast has the head and legs of a massive black bull, and the body of an incredibly muscled man. He wields a huge, glittering black battleaxe, and is adorned with tattoos and all sorts of primitive jewelry.  
Missionary Spirit An image of a lithe human woman stands before you. She is clad in dark leather armor, and wields a peculiar curved blade. Her shoulder length red hair flutters like a cloud around her, and her clear grey eyes hold your unwaveringly.   
Moaning Spirit All you can see of this strange apparition is a swirling, misty shape somewhat like smoke. It moans ominously, making the hair stand up on the back of your neck. The moaning spirit utters a heart-stopping wail, and reaches for you!
Morukai This tall, mysterious figure is one of the heroes of legend. Garbed in midnight blue robes, he wields arcane magic that would burn souls of less powerful wizards. Morukai was instrumental in the defeat of the dark one ages ago, and is the most powerful mage alive. Morukai arches an eyebrow as you address him, but does not rise from his desk. 
 

In a quiet, precise voice, he says, "Evidently you are here on a mission of some importance. No one who has my favour would entrust the charm of passage 
to someone whose need is not great, and few would willingly come here. Speak now, and remember that little is hidden from me. Lies will annoy me, and those who annoy me do not survive long." 
 
Mummy This seven foot tall humanoid monstrosity is completely shrouded in filthy yellowed burial wrappings. Its every movement is made with slow deliberation, and it reeks of decay and tomb rot, forcing you to turn your head to avoid the fumes.  
Mutant This hideous, misshapen creature appears to have once been a humanoid. Its blistered skin is deformed and covered in thick black hairs, and its face would make an ogre look beautiful. Its limbs are filled with unnatural strength, and it attacks with berserk fury! The mutant slobbers at you crazily!
Mutant Spider This thing is a hideous parody of a spider. It is almost as tall as a man, and scuttles around on some 12 legs. Its cluster of black eyes appear to glow in the darkness, and on the back of its black body are several razor sharp spikes.  
Myconid This humanoid mushroom creature is one of the peaceful mushroom-herders of these caverns. Known to be non-agressive, the myconids can be dangerous when provoked.  
Mystic Spirit This is the image of a well-built half-orc, wearing nothing but a loose pair of white pants. He stands in such a manner as to suggest that if you blinked your eyes, he could be upon you before they opened again. Despite his forbidding appearance, he gives you a toothy grin.  
Nasty-Looking Man This odious stranger reeks of alcohol, and is covered in a grizzy growth of facial hair. He has a cheap-looking eyepatch, and sports numerous scars. His shifty gaze continually scans the area, and if there is one word to describe him, it is "seedy".  
Nathaniel This tall, stocky man greets you with a welcoming smile. He has a lined, careworn face and sports drooping mustaches that hang down past his chin. He gestures towards his array of weaponry with a sweeping motion. The shopkeeper says, "Welcome, friend. It is always a refreshing sight to see another adventurer beginning his career! Please have a look at my fine selection of weaponry, although if you are anything like the average newcomer, you are no doubt flat broke. In that case, I have simple wooden quarterstaves for use until you acquire enough money to buy a fine steel weapon. Just take a look at my STOCK and pick something you like!"
Necromancer Ragged black robes are wrapped around the skeletally-thin form of the necromancer. Not quite dead but certainly not living, he exists between the realm of life and death, transforming all he meets into leathery-skinned zombies who serve him.  
Nekojin This well-dressed creature greatly ressembles a bipedal cat, with long tufted ears and beautiful oval eyes. It stands about five feet tall, and sports a ferocious smile that is somewhat unsettling, despite the creature's apparent good mood.  
Nejokin Elder This short, fierce Nekojin is garbed in simple white robes, and is gnarled with age. Despite this, he has a piercing gaze and an aura of power that is unmistakeable.  
Nekojin Guardian This well-dressed creature greatly ressembles a bipedal cat, with long tufted ears and beautiful oval eyes. It is larger and more powerfully-built than most, and has a deadly grace that is notable, even for its race.  
Nekojin Princess This well-dressed creature greatly ressembles a bipedal cat, with long tufted ears and beautiful oval eyes. She is garbed in flowing white hooded robes, but wears the hood down. Her gaze is steady and unwavering, and you get the impression that she knows much.  
Nekojin Traveler This well-dressed creature greatly resembles a bipedal cat, with long tufted ears and beautiful oval eyes. It stands about five feet tall, and sports a ferocious smile that is somewhat unsettling, despite the creature's apparent good mood.

The Nekojin greets you with a short bow and a flash of sharp teeth. In a strangely-accented dialect, he says:

"May you find shade, fellow wanderer. It is my privilege and honour to be able to travel through this fine land. So different than my homeland, which is a sandy waste, though I love it nonetheless. Alas, I wish that my time here was for recreation, as I would relish such extravagances as shadowed forests and secluded pools. My mission here is of some urgency, though I doubt you would be concerned of such matters."
Nexus Hunter This tall, forbidding figure is garbed in a strange assortment of shimmering multi-colored clothing, in contrast to its ebony skin. In one hand, it wields a gleaming metal disc, and as it stalks through the wasteland you witness its catlike grace.  
Night Hag This hideous creature appears to be a twisted, hunchbacked woman with long, greasy black hair and dark glittering eyes. She is garbed in a coarse black robe, and iron bracelets rattle around her bony wrists. In one hand she grasps an old skull-headed wand. The night hag grins toothily as you speak to her. She interrupts you with a shrill cackle, and waves her hand at you menacingly!
Ninja Spirit Before you stands a tall, lean half-orc, wearing full black ninja armor. Twin short swords swing by his side, and his hood is pulled low over his eyes. Despite his unsettling appearance, he manages a short bow at your approach, and motions you closer.  
Nomad This peaceful nomad wanders the desert, simply seeking to live in solitude. Usually hired by merchants to transport objects from place to place, he also sells water for those who are in dire need.  
Nomadic Chieftain This heavily built humanoid is garbed from head to toe in various animal skins. In his right hadn he carries a staff etched with several tribal sigils, and is crowned in what appears to be ceremonial headgear. A faint blue aura surrounds his body.  
Nomadic Huntsman This large humanoid is garbed from head to toe in various animal skins. He carries a shield made from animal hides in one hand and a beaten sabre in the other, a tell-tale sign of years of experience. You notice several small ivory daggers strapped to his left leg.  
Nomadic Shaman This figure is dressed in several ceremonial shamanic robes of an unknown order. Most of the symbols are naturally made, suggesting a druidic alignment. He carries a twisted oak staff in one hand, and several small pouches attached to his belt.  
Nomadic Tribesman This large humanoid is garbed in soft white pelts. His headgear consists of several large roc feathers, which hang droopily from the top of his head. He carries a large club, spiked with several fangs, possibly from the mountain cats that inhabit this area.  
Obsidian Demon This small, angular creature seems to be made of a shiny black glass. Its pointy head has two brightly glowing red eyes, and its fingers are tipped with long, sharp claws. It moves with uncanny speed, and leaps towards you!  
Obsidian Statue This tall, finely-chiseled stone statute glitters darkly in the light. Carved to resemble a mail-clad dark-elf bearing a long sword, it stands guard over the black gates.  
Ogre This huge figure towers nearly ten feet above the ground. It wears heavy leather skins, and wields a massive club bound with iron. The ogre's massive musculature makes you feel like an insect compared to his power. The ogre roars in fury!
Ogre Gladiator The massive ogres bred for arena combat are fierce indeed. Their stupidity has been focused so that they obey every command from their superiors, and their berserk fighting style makes them devastating in battle.  
Ogre Grunt These brutish ogres are used for intimidation and as shock troops. Their massive bulk and incredible strength, coupled with their nearly inexhaustible fighting power, make them effective fighting machines despite their clumsiness and extreme stupidity.  
Ogre-Mage  The powerful ogre-mages are ogres who have been magically altered so that their intelligence is increased, and so they have gained magical powers. They are cunning and intimidating foes who have no love for other races. Their ruthlessness and bloodlust is legendary. The ogre-mage grins savagely at you, explosing shiny pointed teeth.
Old Gypsy Man Despite the fact that he appears ancient as the world, this tall, well-dressed man is spry and strongly built. He has a crafty gleam in his eye, and his hands never stray far from the scimitars hanging from his belt. The old gypsy, appearing quite dour and unhappy, grunts and gestures towards his wares, but speaks no further.
Old Gypsy Woman It is a wonder this ancient woman is still alive. She seems older than stone. A strange aura of otherworldly power surrounds her, and a feeling that she sees beyond the normal world fills you. She would make a powerful enemy. The ancient gypsy woman looks up from her deck of cards, and says: 

"Well met, traveler. What seek ye of old Aggie? Perhaps yet wish yer fortune told... though if ye do, two warnings I may give ye: firstly, it shall cost ye ten pieces of gold. Secondly, the fortune ye get be not always the fortune ye want, and old Aggie'll nary take the responsibility for ye if ye be cursed by a nasty destiny. On the other hand, pr'aps lady luck be smiling on ye t'day, hmm?" 
 
Old Man #1 This wizened man sits here on a carved wooden bench. He wears faded grey robes with what appear to have once been symbols on them. His gaze wanders around vaguely, but as you turn to look away, you think you see him appraise you shrewdly out of the corner of his eye. The old man looks you over, and with a grin says "Ah, another ADVENTURER thinks he can save this town from its current peril. Or are you one of those NASTY sorts who thrives on chaos?". He grins at you over that last statement.
Old Man #2 - Asylum This old, wized man is garbed in tattered robes and is chained to the wall. Despite his advanced aga, his gaze is piercing and he appears more than competent.  The old man looks at you curiously, as if not expecting to see you here. 

"This is unexpected, " he says with a slight grin, "the only visitors I normally get are nightmares and lunatics who run amok in this haunted place. 
I have been locked up here for years uncounted, and no one of right mind would would come here. People are put here to be forgotten, not found." 
 
Onyx Guardian This is a strange beast  
Orc Captain This tall, powerfully built orc has jet black skin and glowing red eyes. He wears glittering black chainmail, and wields a heavy scimitar. His evil grin exposes his sharp yellow fangs.  
Orc Lieutenant This tall, ferocious-looking orc wears chainmail and wields a razor-sharp scimitar, a sure sign of high rank. He is disciplined and holds himself in such a manner as to indicate that he knows how to use his weapon skilfully.  
Orc Rogue With its squinting narrow eyes, sharp pointed teeth, and harsh, callous demeanor, the figure before you could only be an orc. It is wearing rigid leather armor, and carries a readied shortsword. It looks around furtively, as if searching for trouble. The orc rogue grins evilly at you, and eyes your purse!
Orc Sentry This leather-clad warrior has the unmistakeable features of an orc. It wields a wickedly sharp scimitar, and stands with uncharacteristic discipline for its race.  
Orc Shaman This brutal-looking figure is garbed in a rough brown robe. Glowing red eyes peer at you from the depths of its hood, and it waves its clawed hands about in mystical patterns. An evil aura emanates from this creature.  
Orc Warleader You are looking at a powerfully muscled orc, wearing a full chainmail suit and wielding a wickedly curved battle-axe. A number of large pouches hang from his belt, and a grey wolf's cloak hanges from his shoulders. Strapped to his left arm is a large black shield.  
Orc Warlord Massive muscles ripple underneath the black scale armour of this vicious-looking orc. Hardened in the fires of countless battles, the orc warlord is a ruthless and cunning leader who does not hesitate to sacrifice his troops when needed, and never retreats from combat.  
Orc Warrior #1 This tall, ferocious-looking orc wears chainmail and wields a razor-sharp scimitar, a sure sign of high rank. His is disciplined and holds himself in such a manner as to indicate that he knows how to use his weapon skilfully.  
Orc Warrior #2 This tall, muscular orc is garbed in a well-maintained suit of chainmail, and glares at you through the eyeslits of a steel helm. He wields a wickedly-curved scimitar, and wields it with deadly competence.  
Orfeo Talespinner Before you stands one of the heroes of old! Ancient indeed is Orfeo of the Host of Light, who banished the Dark One to his prison in the days of yore. Retired now (but no less powerful), he is content to play music on his lute in his inn. Orfeo smiles slightly, saying, "Welcome to my inn, wanderer. For a modest price, you may rest upstairs, or have a warm meal. Ale and wine are available if you so choose. For the musically inclined, I have a selection of fine instruments for sale. By the way, there are bandits patrolling south of the swamp, and packs of wild dogs to the north. The northern route is longer, but easier. The gypsies across the road are friendly as long as they are respected. The old woman is a powerful seer, and causing her or her family harm would incur her considerable wrath. Once a bandit tried to strike her, but she laid a deadly wasting curse upon him. He didn't last the day." 

With that, he waves a hand and sits back. For one with such an illustrious background, he has oddly little to say. Perhaps he is a man of few words, or he is trying to forget the past. 
 
Owlbear This huge, ponderous creature appears to be some sort of cross between a bear and a bird -- it has a massive, furred body, and the head and beak of an oversized owl. Although it looks extremely powerful, it does not appear too quick or perceptive.  
Paladin Spirit A shimmering image of a tall man wearing full plate armor stands before you. He rests his hands on the pommel of his great sword, and though you cannot see his face through his visored helm, he seems to exude an aura of quiet sorrow.  
Pale Mushroom This bulbous, slow-moving mushroom is a sickly pale white in color. It is covered in small spore tubes, and it moves about on four thick tendril-like feet. Angling towards any noise or light, it is best left alone.  
Pharoh Rastep This tall, intense man is garbed in the gilded clothes of a desert king. Upon his fierce brow sits a golden headdress, fashioned in the likeness of a serpent, which hangs down over his shoulders. In one hand he grips a divine symbol, and in the other, a dark rod.  
Pixie This small, mischievious creature is one of the elusive faeries. It wears curious, brightly colored clothing and flutters around on its dragonfly-like wings. Pixies are generally harmless but many command powerful magics, and dislike being disturbed. The pixie smiles mischieviously at you and laughs.
Plagued Prisoner This dishevelled, frightened person cowers in the corner. Garbed in filthy, tattered clothing, it makes no attempt to make contact and does not respond to talking. Pustulent boils and raw festering wounds on the prisoner's skin constantly drip a vile, stinking fluid.  
Planar Storm This swirling cloud is a mix of dark grey, violet, and blue. It rolls through the air with a crackling noise, arcs of brilliant energy continually spearing out in all directions. Moving with a malevolent grace, it almost seems alive as it seeks out the nearest life-form.  
Practice Dummy This large stuffed dumjy somehow has survived all the ravages the rest of the city has endured. Considering its pristine state, magical means are likely.  
Priest - Monastery This kindly-looking priest wears soft white robes and sandals, and smiles warmly at you as he goes about his business. The priest says, "I'm sorry, but I'm in a bit of a hurry! The Chancellor can answer any questions you may have. You can find her office on the second floor of the keep."
Priest - Temple This thin, handsome young man has dark curly hair down to his shoulders, and clear blue eyes. He wears white robes and soft shoes, and stares at you with a serious gaze.  
Priest Spirit Before you stands the image of a tall, white-robed man, his hair greying with age. His bright green eyes seem to pierce through the insubstantial haze surrounding him, and his commanding personality gives him an almost regal demeanor.  
Priestess This friendly priestess wears soft white robes and has long flowing hair, tied with a thong. She nods briefly to you and then hurries on.  
Prismatic Dragon This glittering dragon has scales of a thousand hues, all of which reflect the light in prismatic sprays. Shining chrome teeth and claws arm this deadly beast, and the light of hatred in its eyes makes you pause in fear.  
Prisoner#1 This pale, emaciated man appears to be on the brink of death. He is severely malnourished and has many festering wounds. Despite all this he still has a glint in his eye, and raises his head as you approach.  
Prisoner #2 - Mod3 This dishevelled, frightened person cowers in the corner. Garbed in filthy, tattered clothing, it makes no attempt to make contact and does not respond to talking.  
Purple Slime This is a small violet blob of protoplasm, which moves about with a sickening slurping sound. Waving about in the air are thin tendrils, which radiate a cold which saps the head from the area. The purple slime gurgles and bubbles.
Purple Worm This violet monstrosity burrows through the earth in search of prey. It is thirty feet long, and has a mouth bristling with pointed teeth. Attacking any source of vibration, the purple worm is a danger to be feared and shunned.  
Pyro Jelly This huge, quivering blob glows brighly with the heat of a furnace. It moves quickly about in a peculiar rolling motion, and pseudopods of flaming matter reach out searchingly!  
Quaggoth This powerful humanoid creature stands seven feet tall, and is covered in shaggy white hair. Its beastlike head has milky white eyes and a snarling mouth filled with sharp teeth. It has short, sharp claws, and the strength of limb to cause great damage with them. The quaggoth snarls at you viciously!
Quaggoth Jald This powerful humanoid creature stand seven feet tall, and is covered in shaggy white hair. Its beastlike head has milky white eyes and a snarling mouth filled with sharp teeth. In one hand it carries a heavy steel hammer, which it wields with skill. The quaggoth jald snarls at you viciously!
Quaggoth Thonot This powerful humanoid creature stands seven feet tall, and is covered in shaggy white hair. Its beastlike head has milky white eyes and a snarling mouth filled with sharp teeth. It has short, sharp claws, and the strength of limb to cause great damage with them. The quaggoth thonot snarls at you viciously!
Queen Ant This large, fat creature is a dark red, and is hideously bloated from egg production. Nearly immobile, the queen's sole purpose is to lay as many eggs as possible to ensure propagation of her brood.  
Quickling This small, elf-like creature has pale grey skin and glowing red eyes. Its four-foot-tall body is slender and appears frail, but it moves with unearthly speed and agility. In its hand it wields a long, black, wavy-bladed dagger. The quickling leers at you cruelly, and brandishes his weapon.
Quickling Lord This quickling is dressed in fine gold and black silks, and sports glittering jewelry. He wields a large, black blade which drips with a smoking liquid. Moving with supernatural speed, the quickling lord is a vicious, deadly opponent.  
Rakshasha This frightening creature stands nearly seven feet tall, and greatly ressembles a bipedal tiger. It is garbed in expensive silk clothing and fine jewelry. Rakshasha are masters of illusion and are powerful wizards, and their hatred of other species knows no bounds.  
Rakshasha Rajah This large, powerfully-built rakshasha's eyes burn with intensity. He is clothed in the finest of silks, and glittering jewelry literally hangs off of him. The definition of opulent. The rakshasha lord is a fearsome fighter and mage whose power is rarely challenged.  
Rakshasha Rukh This frightening creature stands nearly seven feet tall, and greatly ressembles a bipedal tiger. It is garbed in expensive silk clothing and fine jewelry. Rakshasha Rukhs are the elite of the species, and are much more powerful than the normal type.  
Rakshasha Sage This frightening creature stands nearly seven feet tall, and greatly ressembles a bipedal tiger. It appears old and decrepit, and one of its eyes is covered by a gilded leather patch. Ancient Rakshasha are usually just as fierce as the young, as they have nothing to lose.  
Ranger Spirit Before you stands the image of a leather-clad elf, shrouded in a cloak which makes her barely invisible. A long blade and ash bow hang from her back. Her long blonde hair is done up in many small braids which cascade down her shoulders, and she looks you over cooly.  
Rayth This gnarled old man has seen so much sun that he is as brown as a nut. His frazzled white hair sticks up at all angles, and his faded grey robes are covered in obscure sigils and runes. He looks up sharply as you approach, but then breaks into a large grin. The old man grins toothlessly at you, saying "Eh? What was that? You said something? Well, it doesn't matter anyway, if ye be looking for spells of some sort, this is the place. Browse through that pile of scrolls for yerself and bring me what you like, my poor tired eyes won't stand the strain." You have some trouble believing that last statement, for you note that he turns his attentions back to a large book in his lap as he finishes talking to you. No doubt he is simply exercising the privileges of old age in letting the young ones do all the work.
Red Dragon Serpent This eight-foot-long serpentine creature resembles a blood-colored anaconda, except that it has an evil-looking dragon's head. It has long sharp fangs and short curved horns, and wisps of smoke and licks of flame shoot from its mouth.  
Red Slime This is a small crimson blob of protoplasm, which moves about with a sickening slurping sound. Waving about in the air are thin tendrils, which radiate a heat that makes the air shimmer. The red slime gurgles and bubbles.
Roc #1 This giant birdlike creature resembles a huge two headed buzzard, aside from its white downy feathers. It has a twenty foot wingspan, and its enormous claws hold razor sharp talons.  
Roc #2 This titanic creature ressembles a vulture, but of incredible size. Its wingspan must be at least a hundred feet wide, its beak as long as a canoe and razor-sharp. Each talon is as long as a human is tall. Luckily it is huge enough that it ignores most small folk.  
Roc Hatchling This small three foot tall bird appears to be freshly hatched, as it still has its eyes closed. It is small, and quite awkward, yet its beak appears to be razor sharp.

Royal Guard This powerfully-built dwarf wears plate mail and wields a broad axe. His horned helm is inlaid with a single rune of mithril, which gleams brightly in the light. He is the cream of the crop of the king's dwarven warriors, and is a match for most lesser adversaries. The dwarf looks you up and down carefully, and gives you a curt nod.
Royal Soldier This tall, mail-armored soldier carries an iron-bound shield and sharpened longsword at his side. His tabard proudly displays the purple-and-gold eagle crest of the kingdom.

Sapphire Guardian This is a strange beast.
Saracen Commander This tall, arrogant warrior is nothing more than a self-righteous brigand. Barely believing in the extreme religion he follows, he is a thug and murderer who lives simply to bring more pain upon others. He leads only because he is stronger or more ruthless than the others.

Sheriff Silvermere's sheriff is an imposing figure -- six and a half feet of pure muscle, he is jokingly referred to as 'Ogre', though never to his face. He looks more like a bar-room brawler than a law officer, but he is known to be quite shrewd, and fair to those who deserve it.  
Shifty Dwarf This dirty, disheveled dwarf appears to have crawled through the gutter and back. Dressed in filthy rags, he talks to himself and has a crazed look in his eye.  
Shopkeeper This cowering shopkeeper is obviously in fear of his life. As you approach, he fauns over you, displaying his best wares prominently. He is quite a pathetic person, and you might have felt sorry for him if he wasn't such a piece of worthless scum. The shopkeeper whines, "Welcome, noble one! Please feel free to look around my store, and take note of my reasonable prices!" He licks his lips nervously, and you sneer in disgust.

Silvery Skull This real-sized, metallic skull floats about with apparent ease and agility. Burning points of fire glow in its eye sockets, occasionally flickering brightly.  
Skali Skali is slim and bony, but is so well-muscled that he must not have an ounce of fat on him. His long, lusterless brown hair is swept back into a long ponytail, and he wears a thick leather apron. His thin mustache and squinting eyes give him a sinister appearance. Skali does not look up from the forge he is slaving over. He mutters, "If ye have business here, quickly state it, I do not have time for idle chitchat. My armour is the best there is, and ye will find no better price for it." Despite his sullen tone, his craftwork seems to be of high quality workmanship.
Skeletal Warrior This tall, mail-armored figure walks rigidly erect. A long broadsword hangs from its waist, and it carries a round shield in its left hand. Twin points of light glow from within its polished iron helm like burning fires. The skeletal warrior turns its eyeless sockets towards you, and advances with cold precision.

Slave-Master This tall, heavily muscled man wears gaudy, mismatched armor, more for show than for effectiveness. His face and head are hidden by a heavy iron helm, with a slit for the eyes and metal grilles over the ears and mouth. He wields a large, wicked-looking barbed scourge.

Spiny Tentacle This long, gnarled tentacle is a dull green in colour, with thick rubbery skin. Nasty-looking spines jut out along its length, and the vicious maw at its tip gnashes needle-like teeth. A steaming liquid drips from its mouth, causing the ground to pit and char.

The Templar looks you up and down, and entones in a confident voice, "Welcome, pilgrim. Be you here on a quest for enlightenment, or do you wish to see the Chancellor about the work she has available? If you seek the Chapel, 'tis in the Outer Keep. If 'tis the Chancellor you seek, her office is on the second floor. Good day to you."

Please do not hesitate to look around, Thuluk may even give you a special price." He grins and strokes his beard over that last statement.

I would surely have been slain had you not arrived in time. You have earned the right to proceed further. Turn the right candle to your left, and the path shall be revealed to you."
Young Gypsy This tall, handsome gypsy lad has flashing blue eyes and coal black hair. His effect of his brilliant smile is matched only by the speed at which he twirls about the knife in his hand.

Zombie - Newhaven This decayed corpse is barely recognizable, as its undead body has been rent by terrible claws. It moves with a stiff-legged, shambling gait, and it carries a splintered wooden pick in its hand. This is obviously the restless corpse of one of the slain miners. You get a chill of disquiet from the zombie's unnatural silence.
Zombie Cat This stiff, undead cat is surprizingly large, and moves with somewhat less grace than it did in life. Being dead has its advantages, however, and the zombie cat is both vastly stronger and tougher than any mortal cat.
