1d7 Random Scared Martian Treasures of Vultoom Table For Your Old School Campaigns

 "Beneath the shifting red sands the ancient life stirs once again.The birth of an alien world right in Earth's back yard was both unexpected & horrific! Brand new life forms not seen in a thousand years once again roamed the red sands of ancient Mars! What treasures & horrors were unleashed? A new 'gold rush' has broken upon the fertile sands of Mars but this is no unguarded world. Old horrors & terrors have creeped back into the light of the red bloated sun of Earth! "

"At a time when your ancestors were still the blood-brothers of the ape, I fled from my own world to this intercosmic exile, banished by implacable foes. The Martians say that I fell from heaven like a fiery meteor; and the myth interprets the descent of my ether-ship. I found a matured civilization, immensely inferior, however, to that from which I came.

"The kings and hierarchs of the planet would have driven me away; but I gathered a few adherents, arming them with weapons superior to those of Martian science; and after a great war, I established myself firmly and gained other followers. I did not care to conquer Mars, but withdrew to this cavern-world in which I have dwelt ever since with my adherents. On these, for their faithfulness, I conferred a longevity that is almost equal to my own. To ensure this longevity, I have also given them the gift of a slumber corresponding to mine. They sleep and wake with me.

"We have maintained this order of existence for many ages. Seldom have I meddled in the doings of the surface-dwellers. They, however, have converted me into an evil god or spirit; though evil, to me, is a word without meaning.

"I am the possessor of many senses and faculties unknown to you or to the Martians. My perceptions, at will, can be extended over large areas of space, or even time. Thus I learned your predicament; and I have called you here with the hope of obtaining your consent to a certain plan. To be brief, I have grown weary of Mars, a senile world that draws near to death; and I wish to establish myself in a younger planet. The Earth would serve my purpose well. Even now, my followers are building the new ether-ship in which I propose to make the voyage."

 Jesus this was a hard fight as we battled higher caste Mi Go warriors, and we had to call on Green Martian warriors to help turn the tide. Two hours of melee & fracus we were able to destroy the Mi Go swarm of warriors. We hate these things. This play report is going to pick right up from here.  We destroyed any magic items left behind.

After 'saving' the Green martians & making sure the necromancer was utterly destroyed. We began the process of healing, rounding up any stray Martians, checking the egg clutches, and trying to find out where the Mi Go might also have come from. And here's where my own contribution comes in. Ages ago we came across Gregorius21778: The Mi-Go Outpost inside of the Red Mesa.

According to our Green Martian warrior scouts the Mesa appeared over night after the necromancer appeared near the Green Martian drover's routes. And the Green Martians started to disappear. So Gregorius21778: The Mi-Go Outpost inside of the Red Mesa is a 'pay what you want' adventure encounter. And it's actually well suited as a topper to this mini Mars campaign. 
And now we've got clear this mesa and this is going to take time. We're well supplied by our Green benefactors.

 Alright so it's been beyond busy & we almost got slaughtered dealing with the Mi Go their charges and the held Green Martian village. We set the village fission reactor to blow and then moved our forces into position around what passes for a mini hive among the village center. Planting several plasma grenades around the parameter of the hive we moved into the necromancer's villa. 

Because of the fact that the Martian houses were on stilts were were being very cautious to take out guards with as much stealth as possible. We've lost men & resources before when dealing with the MiGo and their followers. 

Most of these we've had run in's from various DM's were  using the Cthuloid Bestiary a free OSR Lovecraftian monster manual here. 

We knew that all Hell would soon be breaking out and we camped out at the top of the dead sea bottom bowl's ridge before setting off the charges. We positioned our scouts & snipers over the bowl to take out any stray MiGo after the mini hive went up!

And we set off the charges while our own necromancer readied chain lightning for the hand rails surrounding the village. And then all Hell broke loose as the charges went off. We're using  Barbarian Conquerors of Kanahu so we know exactly what's coming. And our second necromancer had a fireball waiting for the black wizard ie MiGo minion. Fortunately the dice were with us this game. 

But we started to run outta of time when we saw black MiGo warrior caste come over the rise! These things are nasty & we are not happy because they were baring brain cylinders when the world went weird for our group! psionics! 
Continued next week! 

Post Apocalpytic Solar System Campaign Commentary -Lovecraft showdown - A Warriors of The Red Planet & Hyperborea rpg - Actual Play Event

 Last night's Mars game took place in the low lands where we able to finally catch a break with an abandoned Martian city. And our Green warrior guide bid us leave.  The party began the task of looking through several of the buildings for white apes or monster mutants. We rolled on the random encounter tables only to run into a few Green warrior drovers. We shared a quiet night & resupplied trading ammo,water, and food with our fellow travelers. The party bid our Green drover buddies good bye & onward we pressed. 

Further down East we started to see fires in the distance & then the smell of battle. We charged up our laser crossbows & started to move quickly double timing it along the fallen orange ridges. And that's when we heard our first grunts of the Black Tongue. That meant only one thing and that was Orc mercenaries. We've faced these things numerous times & then we saw the dark wizard leading them! 

We spotted the dark wizard, some sort of armored cyborg knight & then it was a Mi Go scientist caste standing next the wizard that got our attention. Our party is Stellar Legion & we've taken on every sorta of weirdness. But the party hates the Mi Go most of all. We've lost numerous party members to the dust ups we've had with Mi Go. 
Most of these we've had run in's from various DM's using the Cthuloid Bestiary a free OSR Lovecraftian monster manual here. 

The biggest problem is that the Mi Go engineers & scientists never travel alone. Mi Go Scientists are incredibly dangerous;"Hit Dice: 3+1 (15) Armour Class: 15 Saving Throw: 14 Movement: 12/12 (Fly) Sanity Loss: 0/1d10 No. Enc. 4d4 (10) Intelligence: Exceptional Alignment: Lawful Neutral XP: 400 Stiletto: 1d6 (4), the target takes two points of bleeding damage each round (save ends). Acid Fog: 1d4, the mi-go releases acidic fog at an opponent in sight. The target is paralysed for one round. Phase Crystal: The mi-go gains a +2 AC bonus until the end of the next round. All ranged attack against the mi-go made during this time are made at a -3 penalty. This ability can only be used once." 
And there was no way we could take on a load of some 60 plus orcs, & the Mi Go drone warriors  lurking nearby. What the Hell were the Mi Go doing on Mars?! They left the solar system nearly 10 or 20 years ago. We tangled with the strays, the occasional drone warrior brain raiding party. But this almost looked like a whole other level & we decided to take a smoke break. The player's then sent in three scouts including Sargent Wolf whose incharge of the other scouts to investigate the situation.

And the scouts telepathically relayed that the village/water processing facility was a Green warrior clan that we'd dealt with previously. And there were egg bearing mothers & Green kids among the civilians. Then the honor of the Stellar Legion was committed. And we were also using Barbarian Conquerors of Kanahu so it's in our wheel house to take back this village. 
This post is also going to pick back up from here. So we're taking our time & planning our next move. 

OSR Commentary & Sideskinning Sinful Whispers (Swords and Wizardry) By Tom Knauss From Frog God Games

 If you've been following the mods we've been doing let's dive right back into the mix and get with the idea the awakening of the Deep Ones goddess. But what if this kicks off other Lovecraftian  dieties agendas across the world?! We're going to assume that the player's PC's are  going to be at least fifth level after dealing with the adventure agendas in our last adventures. 

"They tell of a lonely island that bears Great Pele’s footprints. An isle seared by a mother’s vengeance for the evil wrought on Her eloved children –  and where gods smite the earth, only fools dare tread. On the Razor, ’tis folly, indeed, to walk any ground She condemned."

Squint & pretend that this says Swords & Wizardry 

"Yet still, mortals come. Legends of a secret magic hoard, the fate of a missing whaler, and the strange tale of a lone survivor beckon to shores grown as lush and inviting as a siren’t irresistible song."

"“This way”, encourages a sly whisper adrift on the wind. “Come, and I shall make you mine.” From ruins where once She trod in wrath, the temptations of an ageless evil speak after centuries of silence."

Sinful Whispers is a great way to pick up the pace on the surface world as the Deep One's influence whispers to the rest of the Lovecraftian  pantheon. The PC's here are on the surface world are drawn into the web of the Deep Ones. Ships begin to go missing, coastal towns disappear, and more oceanic related weirdness happens. 

Hannes Bok's illustrations for the publication of the story in the January 1942 issue of Weird Tales

Sinful Whispers assumes that the players PC's are at least fifth level & if we go back to the original Lovecraft story the Shadow over Innsmouth then we get the original source of the  corruption from the Deep Ones; "My back was toward the fishy-smelling sea, but he was facing it and something or other had caused his wandering gaze to light on the low, distant line of Devil Reef, then showing plainly and almost fascinatingly above the waves. The sight seemed to displease him, for he began a series of weak curses which ended in a confidential whisper and a knowing leer. He bent toward me, took hold of my coat lapel, and hissed out some hints that could not be mistaken,

"Thar's whar it all begun—that cursed place of all wickedness whar the deep water starts. Gate o' hell—sheer drop daown to a bottom no saoundin'-line kin tech. Ol' Cap'n Obed done it—him that faound aout more'n was good fer him in the Saouth Sea islands.

"Everybody was in a bad way them days. Trade fallin' off, mills losin' business—even the new ones—an' the best of our menfolks kilt aprivateerin' in the War of 1812 or lost with the Elizy brig an' the Ranger scow—both on 'em Gilman venters. Obed Marsh he had three ships afloat—brigantine Columby, brig Hefty, an' barque Sumatry Queen. He was the only one as kep' on with the East-Injy an' Pacific trade, though Esdras Martin's barkentine Malay Bride made a venter as late as twenty-eight.

"Never was nobody like Cap'n Obed—old limb o' Satan! Heh, heh! I kin mind him a-tellin' abaout furren parts, an' callin' all the folks stupid for goin' to Christian meetin' an' bearin' their burdns meek an' lowly. Says they'd orter git better gods like some o' the folks in the Injies—gods as ud bring 'em good fishin' in return for their sacrifices, an' ud reely answer folks's prayers.

"Matt Eliot his fust mate, talked a lot too, only he was again' folks's doin' any heathen things. Told abaout an island east of Othaheite whar they was a lot o' stone ruins older'n anybody knew anying abaout, kind o' like them on Ponape, in the Carolines, but with carven's of faces that looked like the big statues on Easter Island. Thar was a little volcanic island near thar, too, whar they was other ruins with diff'rent carvin'—ruins all wore away like they'd ben under the sea onct, an' with picters of awful monsters all over 'em."

Although rejected by the magazine during Lovecraft's lifetime, The Shadow over Innsmouth was reprinted in Weird Tales in 1942

Those ruins that are spoken of in 'The Shadow over Innsmouth' are perfectly aligned with the island of  'Sinful Whispers'. That island is perfect for dropping onto Hyperborea or the campaign setting of your choice.
But this is only the start of the war an opening salvo if you will. But why?! Well, pure human greed;""They had all kinds a' cities on the sea-bottom, an' this island was heaved up from thar. Seem they was some of the things alive in the stone buildin's when the island come up sudden to the surface. That's how the Kanakys got wind they was daown thar. Made sign-talk as soon as they got over bein' skeert, an' pieced up a bargain afore long.

"Them things liked human sacrifices. Had had 'em ages afore, but lost track o' the upper world after a time. What they done to the victims it ain't fer me to say, an' I guess Obed was'n't none too sharp abaout askin'. But it was all right with the heathens, because they'd ben havin' a hard time an' was desp'rate abaout everything. They give a sarten number o' young folks to the sea-things twice every year—May-Eve an' Hallawe'en—reg'lar as cud be. Also give some a' the carved knick-knacks they made. What the things agreed to give in return was plenty a' fish—they druv 'em in from all over the sea—an' a few gold like things naow an' then." 
This is only the start of it as more horror and danger start to surface across the world because the 'Drow' have been busy as well.

The Spawn of Pan - A Sanity Blasting Cult for Silent Legions rpg & Your Old School Campaigns

There are times when you need a cult for a game & that's where the Silent Legions rpg comes in very handy. Arthur Machen remains an old favorite of ours & its easy to take 'the Great God Pan novel' of his & exploit into a 
 a full blown cult easily.


The novel's plot is a quick go really according to the Wiki entry on 'The Great God Pan' ; "The Great God Pan is a horror and fantasy novella by Welsh writer Arthur Machen. Machen was inspired to write The Great God Pan by his experiences at the ruins of a pagan temple in Wales. What would become the first chapter of the novella was published in the magazine The Whirlwind in 1890. Machen later extended The Great God Pan and it was published as a book alongside another story, "The Inmost Light", in 1894. The novella begins with an experiment to allow a woman named Mary to see the supernatural world. This is followed by an account of a series of mysterious happenings and deaths over many years surrounding a woman named Helen Vaughan. At the end, the heroes confront Helen and force her to kill herself. She undergoes a series of unearthly transformations before dying and she is revealed to be a supernatural entity."

Helen Vaughan had a daughter at the novel's conclusion & that daughter is Mrs. Helen Beaumont whom at the novel's climax committed suicide when confronted by the novel's protagonists. Mrs. Helen Beaumont was the child of Pan; "Raymond informs Clarke that Mary became pregnant after his experiment caused her to see the god Pan, implying that Pan fathered Helen."  But does an 
 alien demi god easily die?! In the novel;"Helen disappears for some time; according to rumor, she spent the time taking part in disturbing orgies somewhere in the Americas. She eventually returns to London under the pseudonym Mrs. Beaumont. "  
What if Mrs. Helen Beaumont is still out in the world!? And that the children of those orgies are actually today in 2020 still operating secret cults dedicated to Pan out in the remote areas of the American Mid West. 
 Mrs. Helen Beaumont is still alive after a fashion like any entity capable of extreme shape shifting she reproduces by budding off a piece of itself with all of the memories of the original 
Helen going back to 1894. 
The spawn of Pan are capable of shape shifting between human male, female, & finally a sanity blasting form.

Skill :+3 

Special: Unnamable,charm person ability

Anyone seeing the true form of a Spawn of Pan must make their save or be subject to their own insignificance in the sanity shattering scheme of the grand cosmic design. Those that don't will be subject to highly sanity shattering thoughts, vistas, & illusions as their sense of reality is over wrought. 

The Spawn of Pan are not combat oriented & instead attack with the weapons of mankind such as fire arms, knives, & swords. Those foolish enough to mate with a spawn of Pan are subject to horrid depravities & attentions they will often become pregenent with a demigod child in order to continue the spread of their fertility cults. 
These entities also have a charm ability that allows the spawn to  make a humanoid creature regard you as its trusted friend and ally (treat the target’s attitude as friendly) unless the appropriate saves are made. 

The spawn of pan are often in the ongoing process of corrupting body & soul various indivduals in order to continue its line of cults. These cults are dedicated to material weath, fertility, and utter corruption of body & soul. 

Paul Delaroche - Offering to the God Pan

These cults will often have several enforcers who are known as satyrs & recruiters who are known as nymphs. The cults operate under a number of names & covers evolving to spread their message far & wide. The cults rites always culminate with a Spring orgy where the spawning of the children happens within the inner cult circles. 

Those that are truly blessed are taken into the folds of the spawn & through a degenerate rite turned into true 'corrupted satyrs' the guardians of the cult. These entites are capable of acts of extreme depravity & violence.

"Immediately upon beholding this amulet we knew that we must possess it; that this treasure alone was our logical pelf from the centuried grave. Even had its outlines been unfamiliar we would have desired it, but as we looked more closely we saw that it was not wholly unfamiliar. Alien it indeed was to all art and literature which sane and balanced readers know, but we recognised it as the thing hinted of in the forbidden Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred; the ghastly soul-symbol of the corpse-eating cult of inaccesible Leng, in Central Asia. All too well did we trace the sinister lineaments described by the old Arab daemonologist; lineaments, he wrote, drawn from some obscure supernatural manifestation of the souls of those who vexed and gnawed at the dead. (“The Hound,” 174) H.P. Lovecraft 

The jade amulet now reposed in a niche in our museum, and sometimes we burned strangely scented candles before it. We read much in Alhazred’s Necronomicon about its properties, and about the relation of ghouls’ souls to the objects it symolised; and were disturbed by what we read."

 

(“The Hound,” 175)

There are some items of treasure that shouldn't be found, items that were left behind on the battlefields of existence that can prove to be far more dangerous to adventurers then they first realize. Here are a few of those items that might prove to far more dangerous then valuable.

Why, Aud, they won't none of them Injuns acrost the Canayjin kill a snake for love nor money!"

The Curse of Yig
H. P. Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop

Written 1928, published November 1929 in Weird Tales, Volume 14, Number 5, Pages 625-36.

Not seen since 1886 the Connecticut River Serpents have returned enforce to the lower banks of the Connecticut River. 

Brought from the depths of the Earth by the warriors of the realm of K'n-yan. These genetically enhanced giant serpents were the creations of the serpent men in ages long past. These powerful river serpents are some of the most feared predators on what was the North American Neo England continent.These serpents are highly intelligent and boast a dangerously murderous predatory intelligence. They boast a strangely almost humanlike reptilian face with balefully cunning unblinking eyes.



They thrive in the brackish waters of what was the Connecticut River in the marsh like inlets & fresh water marshlands near the turquoise walled riverside temples of the snake god where they serve as guardians. They are incredibly stealthy & capable of silently murdering humanoid prey. Many times they simply violently bite their prey with a poisoned bite & retreat off to a distance whist the poison does its work. Many swear that these beasts seem to enjoy the show. They often lurk underwater for up to six hours or more. To the Picts of the area these monsters are a menace & their mere presence   is regarded as "bad medicine". Many of the Hyperborean warriors give them & their cult members wide berths when venturing through the extensive ruins of Hartford where a grand nest of them dwell in the Hog River Tunnel, under Hartford.

These monsters are very similar to monstrous serpents found on 'Old Venus'. But the Connecticut variety exhibits an almost human like sense of evil cunning which many believe is the influence of their dark master Yig's doing.

There are reports of similar monstrous serpents being found in some of the urban waterways of Ghost City but these can't be substantiated at this time.
