Asmor's Instant Dungeon: 7th level, Cave of the Last Flames

Tips: This encounter takes place on a narrow embankment with a short drop off (no damage) to shallow water, containing the Crocodiles, who will attack anyone entering there (lead with a bite and follow with a clamping Jaw). The Orcs will make ranged hand axe attacks until the party closes (up to 4 each) and then switch to Greataxe. When possible they will try to "encourage" opponents to "go into the water" so that the croc's can have some fun.

To see Snap and Rend, is a perception check. Rend prefers Elves and Eladrin over other targets.

Zith is happiest fighting; Rith insults opponents very broken, bad common in combat. Vith does the "hard core" routine. Nith would rather be some where else and will flee if bloodied.
Treasure: Lot #8 with the gem being found in Snap's mouth, the coin is dispersed amonst the Orcs.

Encounter 2: 6th Level, 1350xp

1	Aurther, Riding Shark (DDI)	Level 8 Skirmisher	350	Adventurer's Vault, page 13 (Mounts)

Tips: This encounter should occur in brackish, shallow water (3-4 feet), with the War mages on rafts (save for Nerrial mounted on Aurther) on on the other side of the crossing. For all of the warmages, Magic missiles are the choice for ranged combat. Though they will use the best of Fire blask, black vapors and Zhent Flash (of their remaining ablities they will choose the one that affects the most targets) .
Anamor gets upset when his clothes get dirty; Vetrani sports a well groomed beard; Occam, though clean shaven is constantly playing with a razor; Nerrial is constantly glancing at the sky. Aurther is a shark.
Treasure: Lot #9, dispersed amongst the War Mages.

Encounter 3: 6th Level, 1300xp

2	Van and Ider, Shadar-Kai War Witch (DDI)	Level 5 Controller	200	Dungeon 158, page 30 (The Shadow Rift of Umbraforge)

2	Ath and Shee Bladeling Spiker (DDI)	Level 6 Soldier	250	Manual of the Planes, page 116 (Bladeling)

Tips: Finally, dry land (ok it's still a bit marshy, but it's better than the last two locations). We find Van and Ider on a ridge, with Ath and Shee closer. Veep and Rover start under cover.
With the start of combat Ath, Shee and Rover will close under covering fire of 2 Beshadowed Mind effects (from Van and Ider) and a Devouring Stone effect (from Veep). On the round that the scrum starts Van and Ider will let loose with their Shadow Bind to immobilize targets and then use Shadow Jaunt to close. Ath and Shee make Falchion and Natural Spikes attacks every round while staying mobile, though, they will release a razor storm when flanked. Veep, doesn't want to get into melee and will use Surge of Terror to make a clearing to get away if confronted.
Veep giggles every time she hits with her Venomous Sting. Ath's blades are rusty where as Shee decorates his with scraps of flags and banners. Van is rather tall when compared to Ider's portly stout shabby dressed frame.
Treasure: Lot #4

Encounter 4: 6th Level, 1200xp

2	Shtath, AndthaVenomous Abishai (DDI)	Level 6 Controller	250	Draconomicon: Chromatic Dragons, page 210 (Abishai)
2	Olie and Nolie, Ogre Savage (DDI)	Level 8 Brute	350	Monster Manual, page 199 (Ogre)

Tips: Set on a 40 foot wide path along the high ridge, with the light house visible up the hill.
Olie and Nolie obviously guard the path from around a large campfire; Shtath and Andtha are curled up in the nearby oversized tents.
The Ogre's are more than willing to parley with the party (if for no other reason than to allow the Abishai time to try and sneak up on the party. ) But really don't want to let the party pass.
In combat the Abishai will lay down the Venom cloud zones to cut off the path both forward and back. They will use Eyes of the Dragon to try to slid targets to the drop off or into the Venom zone (which ever is closer).
The Orges, they smash stuff, and when ever they can they will Use Angry Smash.
Treasure:Lot #10

Encounter 5: 7th Level, 1600xp

1	Stone Arm, Kobold Wild Mage (DDI)	Level 5 Controller	200	Dragon 364, page 57 (Creature Incarnations: Kobolds)

Tips: Stone Arm is chatting with the Sahuagins on a sandy beach. The Sahuagins retreat to the water and and launch Spectral Jaws attacks, one on each target; After they will follow up with Water bolts renewing the Spectral Jaws attack when possible.
Stone Arm, is recless and crazy: He shakes his wand (as though he is trying to get a flash light to work) and then release either Wild Surge OR Wild Magic. After every effect he will look supprised but quicly become confident. When hit, he will giggle, right up to the blow that kills him, where he will giggle, then look stunned, say "Oh" and explode with a Wild Blast. He will harrass the party trying to keep then distracted and keep them from closing with the Sahuagin.

1	Worg (DDI)	Level 9 Brute	400	Monster Manual, page 265 (Worg)

Tips: This encounter is set amonst some large scrubby bushes sheltering a vibrant gardin, fairly near the light house. The Dryads take on the disguise of a human couple and perport to be the light house keepers. Hiding amonst the Exotic flowers is the Alpha Grick. The Dryads' pet Worg is napping in the bushes and will emerge with a fright full growl if they are attacked.

Kalaka (DDI)

Level 9 Soldier

400

Dragon 369, page 31 (Demonomicon of Iggwilv)

Tips: Working in pairs the Kalaka will close: when at range 6 each will use Unexpected Reinforcements to flank as many targets as possible, and then choose one of the duplicates to remain (effectively closing to range 2 or less). Once a pair is in place they will make glave attacks and bat (shift) PC between them. When close to death, the Kalaka close to be adjacent to as many targets as possible to maximize Spewing Death, even if they risk opportunity attacks.

Level 10 Elite Controller

1000

Monster Manual, page 186 (Medusa)

If any hero gets within 5 squares of either of them, One will pelt the target with an arrow (and poison) while the other releases the Petrifying Gaze.
Treasure:Lots #2 and #5

Adventure Starter: Building the Wall

Here is a fantasy adventure start for a new Campaign (or for adventures entering a new land with some modification).

Starting Text

It is the last hot days of fall, and as with every season you find your selves on carts loaded with bricks. Your five day journey from your homes is almost at an end, for just over the next hill you can see the the top of the Wall.

From your many previous trips you know that the next week will be hard, back breaking labor. The Lord Tyrant has ordered, as did her father, and his Mother before and so on, all must repair The Wall: make it strong, make it stout, keep the luminous clawing darkness out. All must repair The Wall so that the world doesn't end...


For the GM:
The wall is actually a vault sounding a gate and a ruin. For the last thousand years or more people have always come and built the wall up: a little thicker; a little taller; trying to keep the aberrant creatures that dwell on the other side at bey.

Or maybe it is something else, something of your own devious design?

Writing for the Sake of Writing

I have found my self falling into my old (decades old) high school habits: Doing the homework, but failing to turn it in. Example: I have created the skeletons "Asmor's Instant Dungeons" completing the series all the way to level 30. I just need to assigne the treasure and write up a few tips on how to handle each encounter and they would be done. Yet, for the last week they have sat idol in my queue. (Palm slaps Head).

Enough Venting, time to get writing.

In the mean time here is some link love: Sham/Dave, Amityville Mike on the one page Dungeon template that would work wonderfully with the instant dungeons: and I have been playing with Ghgowiz Old Guy RPG Blog which linked to a number of very nice tutorials on Dungeon and Map making with Gimp. The Dungeons with Gimp was suprisingly easy to follow and produces a spiffy looking map in not too many steps. I think I will next try the Regional Map with Gimp tutorial and see how that goes.

Also from Outsyder Gaming, I found a link in a comment to a javascript 4E character generator.

I did create another blog (yup, can't keep one blog up to date, so I go and create another one (sigh)) to house my actual game running and creation called Tales of the Table.

Like I stated: enough venting, get writing.

Again, I opened up the treasure generation to be everything (though it took two tries to get a list that I liked). As before you will need to provide a map and a story, though I see this set in a more "natural setting". The Shardmasters in encounter #8 kind of justifies the other encounters.

Writing for Writing Sake: Thinking of the Next Year

In the coming year these are the things I want to do with this blog:

• Complete the Asmor's Instant Dungeon series through 30th level.
• Create some more pre-generated characters from levels 1 to 30. (This will probably wait until Wotc finishes it's Character Builder application).
  
• Create actual test dungeons to run the Pre-gen's through.
  
• Improve my mapping Mojo so that I can produce maps efficiently and with a level of acceptable quality.
  
• Post NPC's with Stat blocks for 4E (that's kinda like the point of this site).
  
• Possibly explore NPC's of other systems (Traveller, Pathfinder, Dogs in the Vineyards, Call of Cthulthu) when I need a change of pace.
  

Enjoy what ever hollidays you care to enjoy,
