D6 | This dracolich is |
---|
1 | plastered with red river-clay and crumbling brick-stuff as facsimile-flesh, with twin obscenely-large gemstones for eyes. |
2 | composed of the contorted bodies of a hundred grey and hairless people - possessed and transformed by consuming the dracolich's self-cremated remains. |
3 | draped in its own leathered hide, its bones scrimshawed by its own claws in maddening micro-detail. |
4 | entombed within a floating black egg of rune-carved stone. |
5 | flayed, perpetually red, wet, and raw, great verdigrised nails driven into its joints and key meridians. |
6 | mummified, its torso stuffed with fragrant spices and powdered petrified wood, every one of its dry and cracked scales inscribed with a poem. |
D6 | This dracolich sought lichdom |
---|
1 | to outlive their rival and continue to exist so as to torment their rival's descendants into eternity. |
2 | because in life they were an avid breeder of humans, yet even their natural lifespan proved too short to breed humans into their highest vision. |
3 | becaused they were cursed with a destined death - they passed through that death, and cheated it with undeath. |
4 | because it foresaw the end of heavens and hells and souls and the rest of the extant cosmos entire, and wished to escape that extinction. |
5 | because they were born in a hothouse era of their world, while climate conditions changed in their lifetime to make the world colder and drier - they long to see again the lush beauty of their youth. |
6 | because their ambitions will eventually lead them to the stars, and interstellar travel is far easier when one doesn't need life-support. |
D6 | This dracolich is known to living dragons |
---|
1 | as a bogeyman they were told stories of as hatchlings. |
2 | as a capricious sage who can dispense knowledge from ages far older than they are, for a steep price. |
3 | only by inscriptions in the oldest of ancestral dens. |
4 | as an abomination which they are religiously-commanded to exterminate. |
5 | as a vicious paragon of their kind, intolerant of peers yet a bulwark against the burgeoning mammals. |
6 | as a name they can call for a favour, so long as they are willing to give their own life in the bargain. |
D6 | This dracolich's breath weapon is |
---|
1 | is a torrent of diseased and lumpy putrescence. |
2 | is a billowing cloud of burning-cold ash. |
3 | is a fog of flesh-rotting undead bacteria. |
4 | is a flood of ectoplasm that provides an ideal medium for ambient ghosts to manifest physically, and to possess those coated by the ectoplasm. |
5 | opens crackling rifts to the plane of negative energy, irradiating surroundings with anti-life. |
6 | is a burst of boiling blood and bone-shard shrapnel. |
D6 | This dracolich's lair |
---|
1 | is within the craters and tunnels of a meteor circling the planet, brushing just close enough for the dracolich to breach the atmospheric gap at its closest approach. |
2 | is a half-buried ziggurat out in the desert - once the temple of a god that opposed the dracolich, they have taken some joy in turning it into a monument to their own self-glorification. |
3 | is an entire continental pocket of the hollow earth, underdark, veins of the earth, etc., claimed as their sole & sovereign territory. |
4 | is the lava-tunnels & aquifer-caldera of a super-volcano, which is also their phylactery - destroy one or the other and the super-volcano will explode to an apocalyptic conclusion. |
5 | is in the cavernous chest of a giant zombified antediluvian lobster marching endlessly across earth & sea-bed, its stringy remaining flesh repurposed into curtains between its interior segments. |
6 | is in the donjon of a nigh-impregnable castle they tore from the earth and set in the sky atop a flying island. |
D6 | This dracolich hoards |
---|
1 | actors, costumes, props, and even entire stages of an archaic style of theatre. |
2 | fossils, and lobotomized prisoners, collecting the drool of their prisoners to mortar together fragile chimeric fossil creations. |
3 | theologians, philosophers, books of great import - they are endlessly entertained by spirited debate. |
4 | the first tools of nascent civilizations. |
5 | bells, from the smallest silver janglers to great bronze bells stolen from church-towers. |
6 | everything used to keep time - sundials, clocks, hourglasses, and so on and so on. |
