(BL: Talinor)
Type: Mystical Creature
Q/M Ratio 5:1 (QUEST)
Armour: Two points natural, and up to four points of
additional armor may be worn.
Attacks: Any melee weapons and javelins.
Abilities:
1) All weapons do a single point of damage to
Angelic Hero (including magical weapons,
relics, and siege weapons).
2) Immune to all forms of magic, including
enchantments. This affects the Angelic
Hero's items as well.
3) Immune to all forms of holding and control
(including both magical and non- magical
abilities).
4) Holy Weapon 1/life - Hero must tie a
white cloth around the weapon and state
"Holy Weapon" loudly. This gives the
weapon the same abilities as either a
bladesharp or bludgeon and works against
all forms of shields and armor (including
invulnerability armor, and armour like
magics; also versus improve shield,
enchanted shield, and protection from magic
enchantment). *This does not work versus
relics (ie. shield of protection and ring of
power). The "Holy Weapon" is
indestructible. This is a natural ability.
5) More abilities gained at later levels.
Vulnerabilities:
1) The Angelic Hero is not undead and is not
affected by spells or abilities that directly
affect undead. The Angelic Hero is a
spiritual being, however, and is moderately
affected by sever spirit (it forces the Angelic
Hero to suffer the affects of a lost spell for
300 count).
2) The Angelic Hero may not attack unless
provoked.
Garb: White and gold tunic or tabard over armor. A golden
phoenix on a white field must also be visible.
Description:
Angelic Heroes are the spirits of knights that have
served their Lords and the Gods of Law and Order
faithfully unto death, where they joined the realms of
their god and became the god's chosen champion.
They are some times sent down from the realms of
the gods to aid faithful mortals in dire need, to guard
an object of tremendous power (to keep it from
falling into the wrong hands) or to combat an evil that
is too great for mankind to vanquish alone. Angelic
Heroes are very rare. They generally appear as
majestic knights in glowing white armor and garb.
Lives: 2
Levels:
1st As above
2nd Gains the ability to Heal self 1/life as per
Paladin heal ability.
3rd May bestow immunities to magic with 1
person in physical contact 1/life.
4th Heal ability useable on self or others 2/life.
5th Resurrect 1/life as per Paladin ability.
6th 1 additional life, 3 total.
Notes:
Concerning the 2nd vulnerability, not attacking unless
provoked, this generally means an opponent must
attempt to strike first. Provoked does not mean using
lame excuses to join combat (ie. "he was breathing
my air, so I killed him" is not an appropriate
response). Because of this vulnerability, playing a
Angelic Hero may get boring, in terms of combat (all
the more reason to roleplay).

(BL: Original creator unknown - this edition by Talinor)
Type: Magical Creature
Q/M Ratio 2:1
Armour: As per class played.
Attacks: As per class played.
Abilities:
1) Must play a regular class with the Darklord
monster abilities added. May only play at
the level that he has already attained in the
class played and is allowed use of that
classes abilities. Due to this, Darklord has
no level ascension.
2) Limited Regeneration - The Darklord
has a limited form of regeneration. He may
regenerate from death in a 100 count. The
Darklord may not regenerate wounds. The
Darklord does not regenerate from
non-enchantment, magic related death, but
must instead go to his/her base and
immediately come back to life.
3) Create Minion - The Darklord must take
an opponent (dead or alive, Darklords prefer
dead), by means of subdual or dragging
dead bodies, back to the Darklord lair. Once
there, the opponent may either become a
minion on the Darklord's team, or drop out
of the game. Becoming a minion is
permanent and may not be reversed.
Note: The Darklord is not undead, but the
Minion is. The minion must now play the
remainder of his/her lives on the Darklord
team. The minion plays these lives as per
the class he/she was playing when captured
as normal. The minion is affected by spells
that affect undead, with the exception of
spells that negate undeath.
Vulnerabilities:
1) The Darklord has no real vulnerabilities, but
when possible should be killed by magic so
he/she must return to base to come back to
life.
2) If the Darklord is playing a magic using
class, his/her spells run out as normal.
Garb: The Darklord is generally indistinguishable from any
other combatants, but to be able to distinguish him, he must
have a large black favor, or armband. He should also be
announced at the beginning of the scenario. Loud, incoherent
evil babbling is very encouraged by Darklords and minion
alike.
Description:
Darklords are particularly evil individuals. They want
to rule the world and have the means to do it.
Darklords exude an evil aura (Remember, roleplaying
evil does not mean being an a--hole on the field). In
general appearance, Darklords hardly differ from any
other individual of the civilized races. They do,
however, occasionally babble to themselves about
being evil and taking over the world.
Lives: Unlimited
Levels: None
Notes:
The Darklord is a monster particular to a special
scenario (ie. The Darklord Scenario) and should not
be used outside of that scenario. The Darklord
scenario is geared towards the Darklord team
winning, and the Darklord's power generally reflects
that. The Darklord and his minions must identify
themselves as Darklords or minions when asked.

each has it s own personality. They have a tendency

attack type as agreed upon by the
Questmaster, Guildmaster of Reeves, and/or
Guildmaster of Monsters. It should be noted
that due to power number 7, some of these

others and should be balanced to fit the
individuals the monster is likely to face.

life.

three times per life (see levels) except

Description:
Extra-planar entities come in as many forms as they
have names: Demons, devils, daemons, Great Old
Ones, and their like are all mythological examples of
the horrid forms of life that come from realms beyond
our own. Their powers are legion and their forms are
awesome to behold but, for all their terrible splendor,
these beings are destined to be destroyed by the
powers of light. Rarely do two entities have the same
powers but they all seem to have one thing in
common; they seem to draw heros to themselves.
Normally, Entities seek to destroy those that seek
them out, but eventually a champion will strike the
foul creature down. The ranks of those that have slain
demons are small but due to their successes, Entities
remain a rarity confined mostly to Songs of Legend
and boasts of tavern braggarts.

6th Weapons treated as White Siege weapons or
Sphere of Annihilation (1 ball/unlimited
usage) or Feeblemind (as 6th level Druid)
3/life.
Note:
Extra-Planar Entities are perhaps the most potentially
powerful monster in the tomes due to its natural
abilities; the fact that, at higher levels, it is hard to
predict what any individual Extra-Planar entity is
capable of; and the ability at higher levels to ''tailor
make' a virtually indestructible monster. Therefore, it
is advisable that only higher level players with
experience in magic-using classes or monster class
portray these beings and that it only be used against
very experienced players. This monster was
specifically created to present a challenge to higher
level players who know the weaknesses of any
monster they would normally encounter.

4) Pyrotechnics (1/life), as per Wizard spell.
5) Dispell Magic, Impowered by saying, "I
dispell that magic."x3, (2/life), range 20 ft.
Vulnerabilities:
1) Gremlins are attracted to complex machinery
and beautiful members of the opposite sex.
Garb:
Description:
Gremlins are neutral creatures that exist for their own
amusement. They are pranksters and thieves but are
not dangerous unless provoked. They appear to be
sickly green elves with a very warped sense of
humor.
Levels:
1st As above.
2nd Heat Weapon (5/life).
3rd Warp Wood (5/life).
May wear one point of armour.

(GS: Fionnghal)
Type: Mystical Creature
Q/M Ratio 5:1
Armour: 1 point natural body armour due to dexterity.
Attacks: Short swords, daggers and throwing daggers only.
Abilities:
1) Steal (5/life), range 20 feet, must say "I
steal that (object)" x3. The object may be
retrieved from the Gypsy within a 100 count
by making the Gypsy return or drop the
object. The Gypsy may drop the object at
any time during the initial 100 count by
saying "I drop this (object)" x1. The owner
of the object may then stop for a count of 5
to retrieve the object. If the object is not
retrieved within the 100 count, the object
and any enchantments are considered lost.
The player must return to base for a 100
count to retrieve a new object. This ability
only simulates the theft, it does not allow
the Gypsy access to other people's
equipment. Once something has been
"stolen", it is unusable unless it is retrieved
from the Gypsy by killing him or having
him drop it, or a new object is gotten after
a 100 count at the base. The player does
NOT give the equipment to the Gypsy.
This ability does not work on Game Items,
Garb, Armor, Enchanted Shields, or any
item that is in use when the Gypsy Chant
began. (example, a warrior engaged in
combat cannot have his sword stolen, but if
the warrior is just standing around, sword
in hand, it can be stolen. A wizard casting
a spell cannot have his spell book stolen,
but it can be stolen if he is fighting using
swords and not casting magic.)
Vulnerabilities:
1) Gypsies cannot attack other Gypsies, their
kinship to one another is too strong.
2) Gypsies are affected by Bardic "Presence"
as per Barbarian (Due to the kinship they
have with Bards.)
Garb: Must wear a multicolored bandanna that covers the head
and a bright tunic.
Description:
Throughout the centuries these rogues have plagued
the world. The ultimate traveller, Gypsies care only
to make a quick profit before they move on.
Lives: 3
Levels:
1st As above.
2nd Pass without Trace (1/game) as per Druid.
Swindle (1/game), 20 ft range. The Gypsy
states "I have the deal of a lifetime for
you!"x3. The Gypsy then must trade melee
weapons with the victim, and may use the
new weapon for the rest of that life no
matter what it is without penalty to
dexterity. Relics and Magic cannot be
swindled. Does not work on Berserk
Barbarians, Relics, or Monks.
3rd One reusable Sleep Powder Bolt or
Poison Weapon (1/game) as per Assassin.
Antidote to Poison as per Assassin (ie. as
per iceball).
Sleep Powder Bolt is charged by saying
"Sleep Powder"x5. Upon a hit, the victim
must "sleep" for 300 count and cannot be
attacked. Since this simulates the victim
being drugged (only berserkers and those
immune to poisons are immune to this
ability). Cure Poison or Antidote to Poison
removes the effects of Sleep Powder
Bolt.
4th Prophecy (1/Game), enchantment (ie. as
per invulnerability). Must hold a yellow
ribbon in hand and say "I foresee a
disaster"x10 and tie the ribbon to the
recipient, will negate only one (1) physical
hit or magical attack. Usable oneself, or
another. This simulates the Gypsy
"foreseeing" the future for himself or
another, and thus allowing the barer to
advert disaster.
Heal (1/life)
5th Swindle (2/game), acts exactly as per
Curse.
Dying Gasp Curse (1/game), 20 ft range.
When the Gypsy is killed he/she has the
option of cursing his/her opponent upon
his/her last dying gasp. Gypsy states upon
dying "I curse thou with my last dying
gasp"x1. Will kill after a hundred (100)
count unless removed by Remove Curse or
if the victim has protection from death.
May wear up to 1 point of armor.
6th Finger of Death (1/game) as per Druid.
(GS: Vaargard)
Type: Mystical Creature
Q/M Ratio 8:1 (QUEST)
Armour: 6 points
Attacks: 1 long swords per 'head' 1 flail treated as red
weapons, (see Notes on Play below)
Abilities:
1) Invulnerability
2) Unlimited use of a breath weapon as per
Dragon (at higher level)
3) Scare 2/life, as per Wraith.
5) 'Tail' may fight after death as per Barbarian
regardless of cause of death (exception -
Sphere of Annihilation). The tail is
automatically considered dead if all 'head's
are slain.
Garb: Scales and metallic fabrics.
Description:
Hydra are huge, usually reptilian, monsters invariably
equipped with two or more 'head's. Hydra are
uncommon in civilized lands. They are always vicious
and hungry and wreak havoc upon their surroundings
and are rumored to live indefinitely if not slain by
violence. Even grizzled veterans balk at the prospect
of facing the smallest hydra. It has been recorded that
Hydra were once commonly bound into service as
guardians by powerful mages and some fulfill their
forgotten roles to this day. The magic used to bind
these creatures has been lost to the ages, but rumors
persist of mages that still posses the knowledge to
harness the power of these monsters.
Notes: Hydra are huge and chaotic so they are best played by
several players tied at the waist (usually 10 -20 feet
between individual 'appendages') to form the beast. It
is usual for there to be a from 2 to 8 ''head's' (Long
sword and spell balls if needed) and a 'tail' (an
individual with a flail or long sword) though other
combinations are possible dependant upon the size of
the Hydra (and the amount of rope available!) Each
person has armor equal to the total given to the level
of the Hydra (i.e. In the case of a level 1 Hydra, a
''head'' has 6 points of armor and the 'tail' has 6
points of armor of his/her own.) Unlike normal rules
of combat, any strike to a 'part' of a behemoth
removes a point of armor. For example- if the 'left
arm' whom has 6 points of armor is hit in the leg
he/she would lose a part of overall armor and thus be
reduced to 5 armor points. If the same 'left arm' is
struck again, this time in the torso , he would be
reduced to 4 points of armor, and so on. upon losing
all his/her armor and being slain, a body part should
drop his weapon or separate himself from the 'body'.
If all the 'head's are killed, the tail will fight on for 10
seconds before the signal reaches it that it too is dead.
It is possible for Hydra to run but it is a rare
occurrence for several reasons: In reality a Hydra is
much like a three-legged race with several people
involved and it takes considerable effort from a ''head''
to convince the other ''head's' that he/she knows the
best way to reach their objective.
Lives: 1
Levels:
1st One 'head' may use any first level bolt spell
(unlimited usage, need only state "name of
bolt"x3).
2nd As above
3rd One 'head' may use any second level bolt
spell (unlimited usage, need only state
"name of bolt"x3). ('Head' may be different
from 'head' using 1st level bolt)
4th As above
5th One 'head' may use any dragon breath of
choice (unlimited usage, need only state
"name of bolt"x3). ('Head' may be different
from 'head' using 1st or second level bolt)
6th Regeneration (as per troll) or Hypnotic
Gaze [Stun spell (unlimited usage, duration
special-see note), but Barbarians and Monks
3rd level or above are immune].
1) The latter ability is considered
non-magical and may be 'disrupted'
by inflicting damage to the victim
(ie- leg or arm shot). This
represents one of the 'head's having
the ability to transfix an opponent
with its gaze. Any 'head' using this
ability must maintain visual
contact with his target. If the 'head'
averts its gaze, then the target is
immediately freed. Only one 'head'
may use this power at any given
time. Does not affect those
immune to Charm magics.
2) Hydra are huge rampaging
monsters that should take lots of
people (and lots of lives!) to halt.
It is best used as a 'bash the
beastie' or introductory
mini-adventure. Perhaps the local
shire is called out to prevent or
slow down the creature's advance
or the city sends out the militia to
defend itself. It is suggested that
no less than 20 people be faced
with a Hydra and that a healer be
available to the players.

Garb: Varies as per the animal portrayed.
Description:
These are the are the feared creatures of legend who
may change their form from human, to not-so-human.
They may be wolves, bears, tigers, rats, or any
animal. There are two forms of these creatures. There
are two types of Lycanthropes:
A) The natural Lycanthrope, which was born
with the ability to shift form. They have full
control over their changes, and are cunning
to the extreme.
B) Those who have been infected with the
disease by the bite of a true Lycanthrope,
and are doomed thereby. They have no
conscious control over their actions or
changes, attacking anything blindly, and are
usually controlled by a true Lycanthrope.
Any one killed 3 times by a Lycanthrope,
will become one of these, for the remainder
of their lives, under the control of the one
who transformed them.

tusk-like fangs.

A troll is a vicious, disgusting creature whose very
