(Apologies if this duplicates an earlier post, which disappeared--not sure if I hit cancel or what)
Lilith has very kindly spent a weekend or so setting up an NPC Stat Block database that prints up stats in the new Dungeon format. I just posted 5 NPCs I made to supplement my AoW campaign, and hope some of you will find them useful. Included are a Tiefling spy for the Ebon Triad and a party of 4 Kyuss-hunting wild elves and jungle fugitives designed to serve as rivals, allies, or rescuers in the jungle ruins of Kuluth-Mar. I have a few more in mind, and will add as time permits.
The website is http://www.darkmoongallery.com/npc/
Please check it out, make free use of the 70 or so NPCs already posted, and contribute NPCs of your own. We're hoping everyone will post 20 NPCs to make this "public good" a useful service to all. But it's as time-consuming to input as it is to generate them in the first place, so everyone will understand if it takes a long time to meet this request.
Thanks once again Lilith!
I think I forgot to mention that this NPC database is not solely AoW, but has sections for all the major campaign worlds and for SCAP (and generics)--so it's a useful resource beyond AoW.
In case anyone is interested in more backstory on the "rival party" for Kuluth-Mar, here it is. If not, you can skip the rest of this post.
Party encounters a rival party when they arrive at the ruins of Kuluth-mar (or perhaps 1st time they retreat outside the obsidian circle to rest and recover). This party will initially be suspicious, perhaps come to blows with the PCs, but may ultimately be willing to ally with the PCs to find their missing member, Deyram. One or more may be willing to enter the Ziggurat to investigate the ruins if the party needs help, and Thelyani may be willing to offer healing, for a barter price of some sort (in my imagination, no coins in the Amedio Jungle, the natives use cowrie shells).
Thelyani the Wormscarred (F Wild Elf Cleric 8 (Sehanine)/Wormhunter 5)
Madranji the Wormborn (M Wild Elf Ranger 2/Sorcerer 6/Eldritch Knight 5)
Bayarali the Serpent (F Half-elf Ranger 6/Hexblade 6)
Deyram Sarrivin (M Human Rogue 12)*
[Stats posted on the website listed above. Bayarali was inspired by the Hexblade illustration on Complete Warrior p. 5]
Deyram and Bayarali were slaves of a Scarlet Brotherhood agent in the Hold of the Sea Princes, but escaped when they were brought to Cauldron by their master. Bayarali led them to her mother?fs tribe, the Mangaroo Marsh sept of the Tiger Grugach. They found the tribe under siege, having encountered a number of minions of Kyuss recently. They joined two of the tribe?fs heroes on a quest to find the source of the scourge of worms plaguing the tribe. Thelyani was once nearly transformed into a spawn of Kyuss, having received a Kyuss worm but discovered as her mind was being dulled by the gnawing worm that cure disease would kill it. She was able to restore her intelligence, but was deeply touched by the taint. Madranji was touched by Kyuss while still in the womb, as his mother was infected by a slow worm and transformed into a Kyuss zombie while giving birth to him. Madranji was strongly infused with necromantic powers from birth, but bears a deep hatred for Kyuss. While investigating a series of sites connected with the strange green worms, they found a copy of the apostolic scrolls, learning of the prophecies of the Age of Worms. Later, Deyram inadvertently ingested a thrall worm, and he is now fighting its effects. [The "thrall worm" idea is still under development, will post when it's done; meanwhile, backstory can be easily altered]. Under the influence of the worm, he left the party 15 leagues away and came to the ruins. His fellows tracked him to the area and are looking for him.
