Next tume Drow

 Use a spell similar to true strike, give recipient a +10 to hit. Cleric will cast on dudes… maybe a wand with limited charges. 

Maybe they attack while party vs fire salamanders. 

Next time fire salamanders

 Give helpers. Tiny fire elementals… a bunch!! Surround. +2 flanking. Maybe +4 flanking special. 

I think give resistance to slashing??  MaybE.   Think fire lava children and their resists physical attacks  

Small fire elemental https://www.imarvintpa.com/dndlive/Monsters.php?id=348

• Smallies maybe can mob attack to auto hit or burn  
• 
  
• *maaaaybe ill have the small ones merge into a biiiig one, and itll speak once (rare) in a voice of all 10 little ones together. Deep and weird.
•  OOORRRR all the smalls hold them at bay while far away, giant bonfire, drow summon another fire Huge fire elemental. Use 3.5e elder stats. DMG REDUCTION 10. +18 to hit. BLINDFIGHT. 
• X
• Imprint on ur party mind of the ElderElementalGod - the elementals yell out the n many voices-at the moment of merging the smaller elementals into the LARGE MINI i have
• Statblock for elder fire elemental https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/elemental.htm
• 35 ft tall!!!!
• Blundsight on 2 biggest
• Two darkness cast on it drom drow to hide it and more darkness cast on party
• Cast light spell to counter… arcana knowledge check

***note in 2e dnd, gotta summon elementals. The Drow did it!!  A big fire pit with them coming out. 

* 2e had 3 sizes, and biggest were 18 hitdice! Bigger or same HitDice than a dragon. Was +15 to hit (thAC0 was 5 on that one). 

Next time Vs. Dragon ideas,

• G3
• Dndbeyind has best tactics
• Reds have climbspeed for tight lairs
• 
  
• Elder has more super lair and super legendary things
• Elemental fire helpers
• Retreat into lava tunnel
• Blindsight 
• Darkmantle minions help blindsight
• Kobold helpers — 
• Minions jack up ranged and concentration spells
• Volcanic vents heavy obscure - blindsight— i think tail attack a vent cover!!!
• Grapple — grapple then run to lava?!
•

Tenkar ideas vs. dragons. 

My ideas plus his

• Dragon room feels like a trap
• In g3, secret exit  - high, low? Is it an illusion floor????
• Would it let anybdrow enter? Firefianta there more like… would it allow tribute or do giants hate dragons? No firegianta down this low actually  this is underdark  
• Is there a gas fire bomb trap? Immune fire. 
• Water hole esxape. 
• Minions???
• Magic items it uses?
• Alarm spell? Silent alarm. Or it just smells and hears. 
• CASTS DIMENSION DOOR, … probably not plane shift
• Wraithformnspell?
• 
  

• Have a ring or wand
• Have a permanancy spell w globe of invulnerability 
• Have a trapped wizard it made cast globe invulnerability… maybe wizard in STASIS
• 
  
•

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28NiCeNXH8s&t=457s  At time 7:35, a monster, sort of dinolike but way meaner and scarier. 

Time 21:21, monster samurai sort of.  Chinese armor i guess.  

Next time and future

Confluence point of crooked river and Shrike River

 Ideas to use from pathfinder km game. 

I just like the description. Reminds me of that confluence of the 2 color rivers around Glacier or Yoho ntl park. 

Underdark minor monsters to include

 Shrieker mushrooms to attract things (dragon?). 

Mushrooms with tentacles… dnd cartoon style  

Other mushrooms? 

That napalm gelat cube? . 

New gelat cube idea, napalm cube

Tenkar talks https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jtCTijqH3uE&ra=m

Comment by Garrickstangle5…

“ made and used (to great effect) a variation called the napalm cube or n-cube. Adventurers have a knee-jerk reaction of Oh, g-cube, use fire. Its 'juice' is partly acid but mostly lamp oil and it catches fire really easily. Two rounds after catching fire, the heat on its outside causes internal pressure which causes it to explode in gobs of burning sticky jelly, out to the same radius as a fireball (hence the name napalm cube). My adventurers don't ignore the clue of 'smells like acid and lamp oil' anymore.”

Pathfinder, whoa, almost died! - Warg Speech, Swamp Description and ideas

 First the tank got clobbered by yhe giant with chains on two orcs, swung around, smash! 

Then the dern crawling hands that crit for 19 dmg, owwww! And srrangle, no castinf verbal!

UODATE- it gets better. The battles r getting interesting. Forgot swarms are completely immune to all regular attacks, only aoe spells hurt. 

I lije this bog swamp story area. Good descriptions. Has choices. Even has some choices requiring dice rolls. 

IDEAS

• Worg - the beast before you is unusual ly large , and its eyes, especially angry. Its menacing grin might almost be taken for a smirk. 
• Worg speaks - I see no reason to fued. We might help each other. (It grins, almost a smirk.). You don’t know the diff betw a wolf an a worg, strange for such a tasty morsel as yourself. - Bring me 3 bodies to eat and I will tell u where an old skninny tasteless old man  buried his chest. 

• Will o wisp - intelligent. V deadly. Immune to like most spells. 30 ac vs lowbies is harrd impossible. 

Sorcerer build - i guess yndead and become a lich?

TEXT FROM:

The insatiable bog gurgled hungrily after us, but we didn't look back.

Sodden and weary, we finally made it back to solid ground. And a palace of sorts rose before our eyes! — A spacious hut made of mud like the rest, but decorated with pebbles, bones, cattail spikes and snail shells.

In front of the "palace" was a wide and shallow reservoir. Its green water reflected the leaves of huge ferns and primitive clay figurines.

The buzzing of gnats was nearly deafening. We were not far to the center of the swamp — and a firm and steady path led there through the thick bushes. At its end, that tall dry tree stretched mightily upwards, clawing at the firmament.

---

1. [Knowledge (World) 17] We carefully examined the clay figurines, trying to fathom who they might portray.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

TEXT FROM BOG part 2

[Succeeded at a Lore (Religion) check]

There could be no doubt — this was Gogunta, master of the great swamp in the demon Abyss.

But what is this? While we were examining the idol, a large bright-blue dragonfly came out of a hollow in the tree and sat invitingly on the very tip of one of our noses. It was so remarkably strange — it didn't react to our movements, and seemed quite content to remain where it sat.

---

1. (Lawful Good) The idol reeked of evil, to say the least. We were certain we must destroy it.
2. (Chaotic Evil) [Fortitude 18] Suddenly The Mercile grabbed the dragonfly and held it in front of his mouth... oh gods, did he just decide to eat it?!
3. (Neutral) We thought better of interfering with the sinister idol, and continued our journey.

TEXT FROM WARG:

Grarrukh: The beast before you is unusually large, and its eyes, especially menacing grin might almost be taken for a smirk.

Grarrukh: "Greetings, traveler. Before you draw your weapon, I wi[sh to know the] reason for feuding between us. We might even be of some use to ea[ch other.]"

Amiri: "Wait, why is this wolf talking? Is it magical or something?"

Grarrukh: "I am no wolf, female. I am a worg. Surprising you could live to your age [get this far] without learning the difference. Well, it's never too late to teach a les[son to an] insolent two-legged morsel..." The beast slowly licks its teeth."

Amiri: "Who are you calling a morsel, you pelt?" Amiri glares at the [beast, her hand resting] on her sword."

Grarrukh: "You say we could be useful to each other?"

Grarrukh: "Bring me someone delicious. Three or four bodies will be [enough,] [and] as a sign of gratitude, [I] will tell you where an old traveler buried his [...]"
