Right out of the gate we've got the humanoid tribes and forces being incredibly organized & coordinated. And this goes back into the fact that A1 is perfect for bridging the gap between dungeon exploration and solid cooperative game play by the players. For 1981 or so A1 was a turning point in our campaigns with my uncle as DM. The humanoid armies of Chaos and Despair were on the move.

These forces had crossed over from <a href="https://www.trolllord.com/tlgstore/#!/Bundle-Castles-&-Crusades-Mythos-Series-Print/p/110701248/category=28095110">Castles & Crusades Mythos Earth</a><br />And all of the action is set around the fact that the PC's are going to get dragged into  the  <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">middle of the conflict with the 'slavers' in the </span><a class="new" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drachensgrab_Hills&action=edit&redlink=1" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Drachensgrab Hills (page does not exist)">Drachensgrab Hills</a> fortress in A2. This of course ties back into what we discussed yesterday<a href="https://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/10/across-gulf-in-a2-secret-of-slavers.html"> on the blog here. </a><br /><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Throughout A1 the PC's are going to have to cooperate because of the fact that the humanoids are of a slightly higher technological axoim and hit the skids at a late Roman Empire. So there are shades of Adventurer, Conqeuror, King here. We've got the party struggling through monsters, several puzzles, and perhaps a side quest in A1. <br /><i style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Dungeon #221</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> (December 2013) contains the adventure " Lowdown in Highport" and this is the prequel adventure to A1. Here we get an overview of the machinations of the humanoid forces that come to dominate Highport. Again the Slavers series is firmly set within Greyhawk. <br />All of these events are set firmly within Greyhawk meaning that we have the perfect blend to present the beginnings of a Castles & Crusades Sword and Sorcery Greyhawk campaign set within Highport. Since there's very little written about Highpoint its the perfect opportunity for the DM to make the city thier own. They could return to it after the 'Slavers' series to rebuild. <br />But why would the humanoids descend on highport? And the answer is the human resources found within the city. Both as a slave and food source for the coming days. The Slavers crossing from one plane to another descending on highport smacks of desparation. <br />Hobgoblins and the humanoid armies are perfectly suited to raiding the humans and then dominating the lands around them. There's plenty of time for adventurers to get way in over thier heads. Especially since the humanoids dominate </span><a href="https://greyhawkonline.com/greyhawkwiki/Drachensgrab_Hills"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">the </span>Drachensgrab Hills</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> </span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipn8AEcSATUvfCckeD_mN_qbaw-GNi6qiF7R2QsxTb5cX3DmKXN8sPA2zHEbMl3adbYsKvw944TzvUidWOojDU7pWFvad7yRkoEN5b9d0YA0usSc5ruxd15f7bkc3_gpUhFWPTEj9xYe2NKBAzC8tjRHNZRwvY-NvmYdzZO6vfL9ILJ7dH8lEeW_8xhzs/s413/Drachensgrab_Hills01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="413" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipn8AEcSATUvfCckeD_mN_qbaw-GNi6qiF7R2QsxTb5cX3DmKXN8sPA2zHEbMl3adbYsKvw944TzvUidWOojDU7pWFvad7yRkoEN5b9d0YA0usSc5ruxd15f7bkc3_gpUhFWPTEj9xYe2NKBAzC8tjRHNZRwvY-NvmYdzZO6vfL9ILJ7dH8lEeW_8xhzs/w491-h464/Drachensgrab_Hills01.jpg" width="491" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> The humanoid tribes of  <a href="https://greyhawkonline.com/greyhawkwiki/Drachensgrab_Hills"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">the </span>Drachensgrab Hills</a><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white;"> pave the way for the hobgoblin armies with orcs, flinds, and gnolls playing thier part in the take over.

There's lots & lots of Orientalist Hobgoblins throughout A2. This is one of those modules that has a strange other wilderness feel that ties in with the pulpy corruption of T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil. This makes A2 Secret of The Slaver's Stockade perfect for using with a <a href="http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2017/12/barbarian-warlords-of-greyhawk-possible.html" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">Barbarian Warlords of Greyhawk campaign. </a>The fact is that hobgoblins are a perfect up tier monster from the traditional 'pig faced orcs' that most starter AD&D first edition adventures seem rife with. I've always thought of Dungeons & Dragon hobgoblins as semi demonic left over monsters from the Pre- Biblical Flood years who had a Mongolian style empire ruled by elite 'demonic Orge Magi wizard tyrants'. The society's Fall came with the Flood & they've never quite recovered.

Its quite easy to see that the PC's are going to have several adventure messes through out the module with some side puzzles & minor side quests. There are several locations in A2 Secret of The Slaver's Stockade module that could be seized as holdings by the PC's. They'll need to leave behind trusted hirelings to control them. These are perfect areas to act as tribal ins for warriors to breech into the lands that the hobgoblins have seized control of. These wildernesses areas of <a class="new" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drachensgrab_Hills&action=edit&redlink=1" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Drachensgrab Hills (page does not exist)">Drachensgrab Hills</a> seem the type of areas that have been infected with the Chaos energies of the Temple of Elemental Evil. There are tons of monsters that seem to dip on the pulp bucket; things such as the the boggle, the cloaker, the haunt, and the phantom. These would later feature in the Monster Manual II & could be used to highlight adventure encounter to foreshadow the next adventure <i>Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords.</i><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="256" data-original-width="200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDR3UAS6woVbNSgKH51dP_d4dUN55C4ji2JiQkd6oYks1D08k7FvSGkxfJomLArS5MiC9lldnduuEYDLYgWBVj6GyK2DcwX73SoJJkkqPbP3vfqeK8ZqTEiC5qGMjjHd6RlnOv91L7aak/s400/200px-D%2526DBoggle.JPG" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="312" /><br /><br />A2 Secret of The Slaver's Stockade is one of those modules that's completely centered & plugged into the Greyhawk campaign setting's wilderness.

The hand of <span class="st">the Enki & others has their finger prints all over these beings. These are creatures of incredible violence & malignancy, beings who are  inimical to mankind in all ways. These are beings of extremes with violence,insanity & depravity their modus operadi. They have many names across the planes Gibberling, 'The Violent Ones', 'those that murder' & their names are legion as the crimes they commit without order or reason. There is no pattern to their actions only the insanity that a comes from their twistedly insane souls.</span><br /><span class="st"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="212" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjekfVpd7md8JOIugYQqcjcYfiakblvg6Kub6oxBJwZCbMO4MrSuRrNIJLUNsNdybdaV8J9_yblXlC5UgFNMKkLH92OYZV2wDECMBw0nDQ457ukFv8qiaFtYeWkNQS1YqohKBNMzv6e91A/s400/Gibberlings.JPG" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="290" /><br />Their murderous cannibalistic  rages & hordes pure across their target with a shocking violence & fury that always ends in the quiet of the grave. These beings pour from their hiding places to murder anyone or anything they come across with their swords. Swords created from any scrap metals they come across reforged into a generic shape that has been programmed into these beings of violence. Their swords are plain affairs but very sharp capable of slicing through bone, flesh, and muscle with easy. These beings have no society, art, language, culture,etc. They simply exist under the Earth or out among the asteroids as the remains of a biological weapons system that has gone to seed long ago or so it would seem. These beings are actually the product of weird cosmic radiations that warp the mind and souls of their victims. Latent alien genes created by beings more ancient then the Earth itself created these beings right before the last Ice Age of their epoch. They were created in honor of Nyarlathotep in ancient days but have been seen as the possible final forms of mankind in the distant future millions of years in the future of some nameless Earth.</span><br /><span class="st">"I recall that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had heard. A sense of monstrous guilt was upon the land, and out of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places. There was a daemoniac alteration in the sequence of the seasons—the autumn heat lingered fearsomely, and everyone felt that the world and perhaps the universe had passed from the control of known gods or forces to that of gods or forces which were unknown."</span></span><br /></span><div class="gen_header_title" style="display: table-cell; text-align: center; width: 329.141px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>Nyarlathotep</b></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>by <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:H._P._Lovecraft" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Author:H.

The tarot of Lahamu has horrid symbolic meanings in its<br />representations of the anti zodiac,demon-stars, and the dead constellations of many millions of years hence. There are hints in the scrolls of Varq that the reason for the Gibberlings psychotic behavior is the species cold & dim recognition of what they truly are in the face of an uncaring universe.<br /> Make no mistake the Gibberlings are not human in a capacity as we know it. They are species that can exist in a state of hibernation for 1d100 years as their inhuman physiology slows their organs processes to a crawl. Their alien senses draw them to places where black dimensional  occult magick energies have invaded our universe. These same energies drive them into frenzies of violence & depravity when they must murder, feed, & mate in strange sexual practices that are best not described. These involve the ritual murder of one of their own releasing the alien bacterial infection of Gibber into the air. Any survivors of one of their massacres must save vs disease or in three days take on many of the characteristics of a proto Gibberling. They will seek out the nearest sharp object, be drive into a blood lust of murder by the 'Song of the Gibber' & seek to be with their own kind on an instinctive level. These beings will seek places of desolation, ruin, & loneliness as a matter of course. </span><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="800" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtNRf718q3gqKZvekJA5_uiqXQ9FGT55P7j8baiIQZmXhQUH3kE6ZXZhZwuHNfDznBXAegxy2tikF8TbBUzA2PCc44ZoWD6rcICULzJUB4ReElyl8WuzJQBdAzrz5QaHB07EnYpOcRqfg/s400/Arnold_B%25C3%25B6cklin_-_Mondscheinlandschaft_mit_Ruine.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />There is a 30% chance that the proto Gibberling will commit three or more murders locally to satisfy its own mad blood lust consuming the corpses of its victims. The thing will seek out the nearest local urban village or location & commit its own ritual suicide with as many witnesses as possible to spread the contagion. Victims will begin turning into more of the monsters with a three day incubation period. These beings will seek out the scent path lead by the first of their kind & go into a quiet cocoon period beginning the final transformations. They will repeat this cycle 1d10 more times until there is a nest of 300 or more Gibberlings. Many times if caught within the first 1d8 hours powerful healing magicks can cure these beings but the change is swift. Many villages or interstellar colonies have inquisition units that handle the eradication  of nests of Gibberlings. </span><img border="0" data-original-height="318" data-original-width="694" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMKq2lDLKAb9bjH4L_aE6mPTHayt_k1b_X6MmLVwhIoOXA6DyzCt-ohoK0X79vjE4TTWnSCGkUzz7ITr7gZnCCxoPuR8eoZ0iZmwcWVzUJTtY_DrxPZKm7MjKIIZUAFHIAGHRzn1ckAUk/s400/Ascanius_Shooting_the_Stag_of_Sylvia_1682_Claude_Lorrain_%2528cropped%2529.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Gibberlings are sensitive to other dimensional eldritch energies often seek out ruins, dungeons, or other planar locations. Their alien senses, weird physiologic make up, & instinctive level of violence make them perfect top tier predators for other worldly locations. They have been found out around the Asteroids and the Outer Worlds near the far colonies of Pluto. These beings have an instinctively dangerous cunning that has allowed the species to survive for thousands of yeas spreading their brand of madness to the far corners of the dimensions. The are not sentient in the traditional sense but share a horde hive mind with quasi telepathic & emphatic instincts on a base level. This gives some hordes a +1 on initiative during combat because of these monsters psychotic blood lust.  They bark, hiss & spit the praises to their respective forbidden gods but this is done by instinctive route.<br /> In the post apocalyptic wastelands recessive genes of the Gibberling species crop up in death lands as the potent mutational cocktail activates the recessive profile for this species.  The loath Morlocks, ghouls,  cavemen, mutant, and many goblinoid species which are instinctively seen as competition.<br />Interstellar & colony locations of deep space the Gibberling disease often manifests on failed colonies, dead worlds, & where demonic or other planar incidents have happened. The disease that creates these beings flourishes in conditions such as those. It is said among certain space wizards that the Gibberling species were used as anti personnel species by certain Lovecraftian races. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are certain Lovecraftian cults  which see these monsters as the true inheritors of the Earth when the stars come right. They create, interbreed, and encourage the spread of the Gibberling tribes. These same cults often find themselves on the end of the swords most often used by the monsters but see this as a necessary evil for the spread of the infection to continue.<u><b><br /><br />1d20 Random Lovecraftian Encounters With Gibberlings<br />& Their Hordes Table </b></u></span></span></div><ol style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There is a group of 1d8 men infected with the Gibberling disease that is headed your way.

Because Treasures of Grethawk  is actually the history of the forces of Chaos scatterring the treasures of the campaign setting out of the Borderlands & Greyhawk's normal environs.<br />Let's take it back to B2 Keep on the Borderlands By Gary Gygax. The Caves of Chaos are filled with lots of loot from around the Keep & the lands of the Keep. Why?! Because the forces of Chaos have been instructed by the cults of elemental evil to keep one step ahead of the forces of Law. <br />The forces of Chaos want to weaken & humilate Law not destroy them outright. They work in broad strokes & quickly to overtake thier enemies. <br />We see this in Adventurer, Conqueror, King's <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/294819/Secrets-of-the-Nethercity"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">AX2: Secrets of the Nethercity by </span><span style="background-color: white; color: black;">Alexander Macris,& Newton Grant.</span></a><br />We see sparkles of the power of Law through treasures like the rod of elemental spheres in AX2.

Enabling yet another piece of armor to be removed. Thus the forces of Chaos have removed another obstacle in their supposedly march towards power. In ACK's terms the temple of elemental evil is sheer sink of evil without question! <br />Treasures of Greyhawk's adventures played out could be the adventure run to recover those points of Law's magical protection! <br />According to the Greyhawk Adventures publication wiki entry; "</div></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">The module was published by </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSR,_Inc." style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0645ad; text-decoration-line: none;" title="TSR, Inc.">TSR, Inc.</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> in 1992 for the second edition </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">Advanced Dungeons & Dragons</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">.

This will also enable the PC's too possibly become part of that power. And this is reflected in </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">Keith H.

Mr Eisenbeis stated,"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">He stated that anyone could find use in it and that "This product is certainly worth buying for those who run </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">Greyhawk</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> campaigns ". And this is something that I certainly agree with.

And yes I know Villains of the Undercity is a homage to White Plume Mountain. Just go with me for a moment. The lizard men of B2 Keep on the Borderlands is actually another adventure element of the rising tide of Chaos. In Los Farport the same thing is happening & there's a reason for this.
