Collecting obscure bits of D&D lore has always been a bit of a hobby and there is always sme interesting fact that I can learn. Here's the deal: a question gets posted (and the poster needs to know the answer and back it up) and then whoever answers it gets to add their own question to the mix. Let's see what we can dredge up from those old modules and sourcebooks! I'll kick it off with an easy one - 1. What is the name of the first Dracolich mentioned and in which publication was the creature mentioned?

Once the showplace of the entire stronghold, the garden room has, over the passage of time, become a botanical nightmare. With no oneto tend the gardens, the molds and fungi have grown out of control. The room has two major portions, a north arm and a west arm. At the end of each of these extensions are large semicircular stone formations overgrown with fungiod matter. In the southeast corner of the room is another similar outcropping likewise covered with the underground vegetation. In the center of the northern wing are two large sunken pits, each 10' x 20' in size. Approaching the room from the corridor to the south reveals an eerie and forbidding sight, as unusual growths have extended themselves from within the room into the corridor, spreading inexorably onward and away from the garden room. Passing this feature and entering the room will reveal a sight totally unlike any ever seen in the outside world... The floor is covered with a carpet of tufted molds that extends to all the walls and even onto parts of the ceiling, obscuring the rock surface. The molds appear in a rainbow assortment of colors, and they are miced in their appearance, with splotches, clumps, swirls, and patches presenting a nightmare combination of clashing colors. This is indeed a fuzzy fairyland of the most forbidding sort, although beautiful in its own mysterious way... All around the room are fungi of a hundred different kinds. These are scattered in patches and clumps of growth. There are many different types of mushrooms (including an incredible "grove" of giant variety, with stems looking like tree trunks and caps fully 8' in diameter), as well as such common fungi as shelf types, giant puffballs, coral fungi, and morels. The various growths all seem to be thriving, although any nutrient source is well covered by their proliferation. Perhaps some strande magic or extraordinary means keeps this incredible garden alive and growing... Although passage through the room is possible, the various types of growth hinder movement. Furthermore, any kind of mass movement or commotion (such as melee) will raise small clouds of spores which will obscure vision and be unpleasant to breathe. If any adventure attempts to ingest a certain type of fungus, there is a 30% chance of it being poisonous (a Save vs poison is necessary). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 89] Author : SamualT Barronsword Date : 05-30-07 03:44 PM Thread Title : Re: The D&D Quiz This would be room 22, the Garden Room, from Dungeon Module B1, "In Search of the Unknown" by Mike Carr. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 90] Author : tenacious_kev Date : 05-31-07 03:24 AM Thread Title : Re: The D&D Quiz Sure is.

It can be used to slow a person or object, or hold something if it is in close range. The belt is made of a piece of heavily-oiled, aged brown leather with a tarnished, horseshoe-shaped brass buckle. The belt can be used once every three turns by its wearer. To slow a person, the wearer tightens the belt one notch and concentrates on the effect he wishes to have on his victim. The effect lasts three turns. To slow a person repeatedly, the wearer must keep tightening the belt. Obviously, a thin person will have more chances to use the effect. If the victim is within 30 feet, the slowing effect is powerful enough to hold the person for 3 turns."

Chatdemon got it right: in Return to the Keep on the Borderlands, we are told on p. 7: If you're using the World of Greyhawk setting, the Keep should be located in the southwesternmost part of the Yeomanry, a lordless land of freehold farmers shielded by monster-haunted mountains from a great desert beyond. In The Adventure Begins, p. 38, we are told that the Passage of Slerotin was discovered in 577 CY. In Dragon # 241, p. 45, we are given the specific location of the northeastern terminus of the Passage of Slerotin: hex O5-134, which is in the southwestern part of the Yeomanry (even without the Dragon reference, it's obvious from looking at the map that there's only one place a 200 mile long tunnel can end). Thus, the Keep on the Borderlands and the Passage of Slerotin are quite near each other (in my campaign, the Keep is in hex N5-133, and Darkgate is in O5-134).

If noone else will answer... I went ahead and downloaded the Castle Amber PDF from paizo.com and walked down memory lane. Oh, the memories. My elf grew a tail, my brother's elf mouthed off to a pixie and got turned into a white ape, his fighter was reduced to the mind of a 3 year old, and every other person in the party met some horrible end (smacked against the wall by a lion contruct, shocked into insanity, etc.) that required us to preserve their bodies in some fashion in hopes of getting them back. So, we had to complete the final tasks with a horribly fragmented party. Besides another favorite adventure, it was the most harrowing dungeon experience I can remember, and one I treasure even to this day. Looking back, making it for levels 3-6 made what happened there all the more frightening, including that the typical party size was 6+, which made losing party members more suspensful than party breaking. The answer: You're in the land of Averoigne, under the curse of Castle Amber. When you shatter the mirror with the sword, all the items are destroyed, your party is healed, and you appear in front of the Tomb of Stephen Amber. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 267] Author : Shadowed1 Date : 08-12-07 05:01 AM Thread Title : Re: The D&D Quiz Well I'm just glad someone "enjoyed" it as much as I did :D You are correct, fire away. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 268] Author : Gryllmyre Date : 08-12-07 11:37 AM Thread Title : Re: The D&D Quiz "Beucephalus, The Wonder Horse.

It was a long and weary road getting there. But, during the first part of that holiday I encountered a friendly lich with 600 magic mouths in his home. Sadly, I cannot remember his name. Can someone help me with that? I would firstly suggest finding another venue for your holiday. Starting there will eventually send you to the Vault of the Drow, a nasty, nasty place to be. The friendly Lich (AL N(E)) is none other than Asberdies and seems like a very odd fellow, even for an undead wizard. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 675] Author : Mock26 Date : 01-30-08 04:08 PM Thread Title : Re: The D&D Quiz I would firstly suggest finding another venue for your holiday.
