Commentor andrewsnee6452 says - sounds like old school dnd. Look at module b2, or g1 to g3 or D series to see Gygax put in hordes of monsters. Younger OSR crowd ppl retconned that into being “avoid combat”. But true 1980s players would get super magic items to bexome superhero powered up. Power gaming was the most common approach. - - he was DM in 1980s and thinks Drawsteel kinda can play that way, even those okd TSR adventures.
Garl - from garlic
Gravit - from gravity
Ormhall - from wormhole
These ideas are just random from me based on sounds alone, not meaning per se. BUT, maybe Ormhall is from another plane via a wormhole.
The Halfling Blackflame is very interesting. Just the details get the juices flowing… cold damage, can light but not burn a normal torch, does burn unburnable items, unburns ashes back into the original components. Man there is so much a DM can do with that. I’m thinking of ashes in a holy container, that when restored, gives you an ancient map to something major.

Time 22:00ish
Print out stuff from the Companion book of BECMI. . The dragon, huge head by tree dude.
Use portraits for my FRIDAY game shadowdark.
OUR CAMPAIGN
Age players from an undead or whatever.
Quest to get potion of longevity (youth) to go back 10 years. Could also use WISH spell for same.
Beholder - hides 120 ft behind blast spore(s)… then leaves and comes back in 24 hours???? Or just fights maybe.
Blast spore - could it be charmed or telekinesised by the behilder as a trick!?!? Looks like beholder. Very dangerous if dont have cure disease, 24 hours insta kill players.
From the Companion set (3rd book, the C in BECMI).

“I wish I’se a mole in the ground”
I’se = I was.
So waaay later.
Just top off the D2/D3 book with a quick
“You see a vision of a beautiful elf lady, her face fills the sky(?) cavern above. She smiles at you, and your heart feels warm.
Then her smike changes, changes into something else, her mouth stretches to reveal needle. Teeth. Her eyes first become slits that balloon out into multifaceted hexagons(?) like a wasp(?)… the light shifts and you realize her skin is black, her hair is white.
You are frozen. Your blood runs cold. The face sees you, it continues to change… more eyes, the mouth grows mandibles like fangs. The evil is unreal, one might perish to witness it
THEN
A cloud of multicolored light coalescing into the brightness of the sun! The caverns vanish and you find yourself in a bright and sunny glade. A valley, full of life and goodness. The demon has been thwarted(?) .
