The Monstrous Challenge of Netherwerks/Blair's Artwork First Monster Manual


(Thank you, Netherwerks)

The creature above is a Kindosi. Kindosi are generally xenophobic, but trust Shen implicitly, and are often seen in the wall passages of that race. They often serve alongside the Warrior-Shen employed on special missions for the Empress, aiding them by the use of their natural chameleonic abilities.

Riddle 2

A Vamian flame, burning bright. Out of mirror, but in sight.

"Pyre" is a synonym for "Flame". Thus, a Vampire.

Edit: Answer is above, in black text. Highlight it to see it.

B is for Blnxnthnu

Blnxnthnu, the demon, is not to be confused with Blunx-in-Thnoo, the place.


Blnxnthnu's sphere is made of verdigrised copper, and weighs about eighteen and half pounds.

Blnxthnu has spirals of smoke streaming from his nostrils, and has a thick line of rough fur down his back. He has an elongated snout, much like that of a dragon. He is rather fat, has blue-ish skin, and the legs of a stork, which are set onto his body backwards.

Flash Fearsday: Ghosts Through Time

A continuation of Porky's post here.

---------

From the night before:

Running on the grass. Wait - is that Leila Stevenson's house? Right number... But the building's wrong. Where am I? What happened to me?

---------

"Where am I?

That house shouldn't be there!

How long was I stuck there?"

She turned sharply off, and ran across the street, into a park.

Riddle 1

2. A key will turn, a statue wake. What made it is, a feathered snake.

A is also for...

Andraegar! This guy is who Kasiv, the mage I'm playing in ChicagoWiz's Wave game, worships.

Andraegar, Lord of Festing and Celebrations:

Commands:

You must cook and eat at least one rare creature each week. If you have eaten a particular creature before, you may not count it as an offering unless a half-season has passed. Sentient creatures are not exempt, and Elves, littlelings and humans, all count as "rare", though cannibalism is frowned upon. Dwarves, of course, also count for these purposes, which is only natural considering that the last one was seen two hundred years ago.

One spontaneous festival must be held in honor of Adraegar, each half season. (Priests only, though other followers must aid in this if their help is asked).

History:

Andraegar is said to have been a particularly hedonistic human ( There are dissenting accounts which state he was an elf or littleling, but the vast majority of the Elves violently reject this.), who challenged the God of Wine to a drinking contest. After a week or more, he finally passed out, but the God of Wine accepted that he had been a worthy challenger, and he was deified upon awakening. (Also, the hangover was deemed to be punishment enough)

Benefits:

Followers of Andraegar are immune to indigestion, alcohol poisoning, lead poisioning, and stomach diseases, and are resistant to most poisons.



A is for Asodel

Asodel lies on a mountain, near the Mirrorshade dessert. It is now nearly depopulated, due to several natural disasters, a curse on the recently recovered Platinum Crown, a war, and the interference of Calaris. However, the majority of the Mourner's Guild are still there.
