Beneath the City of Grx!

The Sewers of Grx (#7/30; #158/365)

 

If you thought sewers beneath ancient stinking cities of humans were bad, wait until you visit the sewers that tunnel under a city of the loathsome Brain Slayers! Here, weird fungi, sorcerous by-waste, psionic residues, background Chaos portal warp, blood-rendered sacrifices from temples to dark gods, and the general bodily waste products from an underground city of cephalopod-headed creatures conspire to create the sort of foul nightmarish toxic stew that is rarely seen outside of the weirder reaches of the Demonic Plane of Ichor. And yet, even here, life thrives (or perhaps that is no surprise!). Use the encounter table below to determine random sewer denizens:

 

3 Lurking Horror

4 Death Slime

5 Vampyric Slime Mould

6 Tentallus

7 Mottled Kraken

8 Sewer Beast

9 Mucalytic

10 Slime Eater

11 Chaos Mutant

12 Slime Sucker

13 Man-Octopus

14 Tentacled Thing

15 Xanthic Horror

16 Muck Demon

17 Verminspawn

18 Chaos Slime Beast

 

In addition, a whole host of ‘others’ hide out here: escaped captives, non-Brain Slayer revolutionaries, anti-Ministry subversives, rogue psionicists, outlawed sects of non-Evil gods, lost adventurers, and so on. Because of this, the Ministry Urban conducts periodic sewer sweeps, with purge squads comprising several Brain Slayer operatives holding the psychic leashes of various war-beasts; Tantaflexes and Bonecrushers are preferred for anti-humanoid cleansings while Mudworms remain the general go-to for “wet-work”.
