Storytime Tavern

Here we have a quest given by Gimble's Inc. They offer loans to people and in my games said loans often come with high costs. They are a good group to throw into a campaign to offer a possible solution to a parties problems. Of course that's if they are willing to accept the costs! I left much of the information up to you so go ahead and throw this in if you need something to keep the part...

The Aboleth is a bit of a staple in TTRPGs especially DnD 5e. That being said I typically see the Aboleth being used as a one off encounter for the party to typically find a way to escape from. Now that is in no way wrong but the Aboleth can be so much more grand than that. You could quit literally build an entire campaign around the Aboleth. In the age before gods the Aboleth ruled over the seas...

The Ankheg is a rather low leveled beast. At CR 2 it is a decent monster to throw at a lower level party. The are basically giant insects with massive hooks at the end of their arms and gnarly looking mandibles. They like to burrow their way deep underground providing an interesting encounter setting for your party. They stay underground mostly as they get a majority of their sustenance from soil...

The Grell is a beast found in the underdark. They typically stay together and although they can't see they have incredible senses of hearing and can track vibrations extremely well. They would be a good encounter for a party to explore more creative ways of escape aside from "I hit it with a hammer". The Grell may be a brain but they are not related to or used my mindflayers at all,...

A gibbering mouth is a grotesque mound made up entirely of eyes and mouths. Once they consume a victim their eyes and mouth become a new addition to the nasty thing's body. This would be a good way for your party to gain some renown in the place they're in now. Have them defeat these piles of yuck and see how the townspeople thank them! This could lead into them having a home base type place they...

A lemure is a basic devil just about the weakest of all devils. Of course even something weak is strong with friends! A lemur is a large mound of flesh that leaves a trail of ooz behind everywhere it goes. They are created by melding together souls of the damned. You could go all kinds of ways with these guys, you could simply have it be a nice one off encounter to add some action to your campaign...

One of you lovely listeners requested that I do a quest! (It was my wife.. I'm sure of it) So a quest ye shall have!!! I didn't give any name or any real specifics for the party to go off of that way you as a Dungeon master/ Game master are free to make it fit into any campaign! There are many ways to go with the heeling ability the daughter posseses no matter what campaign your running (unless yo...

Today we are given a story that in the end leaves us with more questions than answers (that was intentional). The old man wasn't clear on what he saw and didn't give enough detail to readily figure out what it is but with some investigation and tracking our party would learn that the huge creature being fed by the bullywugs indeed a froghemoth. The froghemoth is a rather interesting creature becau...

Visiting the Storytime Tavern this time we are approached by a gentleman that tells us of the recent happenings in Twelia. Apparently the denizens of Twelia have been fleeing the town in large numbers. Rhumors have been circulating causing fear and panic because apparently there is a Catoblepas inhabiting the swamp that surrounds Twelia. The Catoblepas according to Volo's is a creature that has lo...

You or your party is approached by a very scared, very nervous collector. He explains that as he was out hunting for rare herbs he heard screams coming from a cave in the mountain side. Upon investigating he saw large inhuman tracks leading out of the cave and inside he found mutilated corpses scattered about. Worst of all he saw these creatures that looked like severed human heads with bat wings...

In this episode you or your players are approached by two different gentleman. One that appears to be trying to lure you into a dangerous quest by insulting your abilities and downplaying just how dangerous these rats truly are. Luckily the smaller cloaked gentleman gives a brief explanation that these rats are anything but normal rats and that what is behind these rats may pose a greater danger,...

In this episode Kenwrith tells about his deadly encounter with a dark creature dwelling in the left over ruins of a tower once owned by the great wizard Girard. This creature is a Nothic! Now according to the Dungeons and Dragons 5e players handbook a Nothic is a CR 2 so it's often used as a simple creature to slightly challenge low level parties but in reality Nothics are so much more than that....
