Love an excuse to pull a book off the shelf... Merry Christmas all

Stalk: Sylph

D&A: Quasit

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Shoulda been: ".. from Pangreenia to Floratopolis, from mystical Treeonia of spectral Forests to Schruborial dimensions." - The Forests of Leng

Great idea, Stephen! Just a question though: you picked the monsters from MM1E, ok... but which print run you used?

the stalk = fire giant

D&A = owlbear

Hmmmm....

I did use leucrotta, but for a different item. Maybe I don't understand the rules.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

A big thanks to tiro - I received The Stalk adventure in the mail today. Looks interesting - an adventure originally written by Rob Kuntz in 1975, sort of based on Jack & the Beanstalk, but more like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

Merry Christmas to all!
