Sites

Lagurno

Run'delan'zan

This ancient, abandoned drow city has been claimed by a hive of beholders.

*1 hive mother *2 to 4 overseer beholderkin *6 to 12 director beholderkin (each with a bonded vermin mount, usually Huge monstrous centipedes) *11 to 30 beholders *5 to 15 gauths *3 to 8 beholderkin guardians (death kisses or gougers) *12 to 24 gas spores (see page 148), used almost like traps at the outer city perimeters *30 to 120 charmed minions (these can be of any of the races that are dominant in the region)

Ushuluzu

This sea of brackish, sulfuric water bubbles constantly from underwater steam vents. The air in the cavern is unbreathable and poisonous. What's far, far worse, is what lairs in the water.

Slime and ooze collects on the stalactites, and drips down the cavern walls. Astute viewers (with excellent darkvision) might notice a strange formation of black slime that vaguely resembles a humanoid form.

Monsters: *Shaboath *dm:Advanced Aboleth
