Strange Pilgrims on the Road
In this encounter, 
the players meet a group of religious pilgrims at a crossroad, who happen to be traveling the same direction. The leader of the group, a strangely intense charismatic older person, asks the party to travel with them awhile to exchange news and share company.
Talking to them the party learns that they are a group of religious pilgrims, either traveling to a holy site, migrating to a new land, or wandering in search of the promised land where they can practice their faith in peace. If the party travels long enough with them, they camp together and get a glimpse into their strange ways at smoke-enshrouded gatherings late in the evening.
This encounter can go different ways, depending on what you want to get out of it as the Gamemaster.
- CG – party is actually religious pilgrims, and may need help getting through a difficult area ahead, be it a war zone, monster-infested land, or something else.
- CN – they’re actually theives, masquerading as pilgrims, but pretty friendly. May try to filch something from the party, but will probably try to be discreet. May do some robbing in a town along the way, putting the party in a difficult position if they catch wind of it or the pilgrims are accused of the thefts.
- CE – the cult is a group of theives, lead by an assassin. They may be on the way to an important job, or just nomadic by nature. They may try to make a sacrifice of the party to their dark gods, or may later assassinate someone important to the party, like a NPC who has hired them. A great way to introduce a recurring villain.

Crawling Drake
This creature’s common name is something of a misnomer, as this dragon-like creature has no legs, just a scaly, sinuous, serpentine body and a set of wings set above a thickening in it’s trunk midway down it’s body. Able to stand up by propping itself up with it’s wings, these drakes deliver vicious wounds with their snapping jaws.
Their origin is speculated to be a mixture of dark things of the underlands, such as a fang dragon, mixed with other creatures from the outer realms of cruelty and madness. Able to speak a few words of broken draconic and undercommon, crawling drakes are not espically intelligent, but they are tremendously fearsome, nasty and cruel.
Presented are three forms, wyrmling, adult and methelusean versions.

COMBAT
Crawling drakes are crafty combatants and adept stalkers, and so will ambush their prey when possible. Once they pick a target, they will attempt to crush them in their coils while delivering bite after bite.
Constrict (Ex): On a successful grapple check, a wyrmling crawling drake deals 1d4+3 points of damage. Adult drakes deal 1d6+7 points of damage, and Methusalean drakes deal 1d8+11 points of damage.

River Dragon
Presented below is Unicorn Rampant, Claw / Claw / Bite !, and my first new, original True Dragon. I’m quite pleased for a number of reasons. First of all, I feel like I’m really contributing to the cannon of great d20 system material out there. A true dragon, and a chromatic dragon at that, is something that feels like a real creative accomplishment.
In addition, this post marks a new addition to the Claw / Claw / Bite ! crew: Joe Calkins of Cerberus Art. Joe’s great illustration below really captures the terror and majesty of a water beast like this nicely. Welcome aboard, Joe!

Level Adjustment: Wyrmling +4; very young +4; young +6; others —
These cruel river dragons crawl from their wet shells a icy blue color highlighted by tiny white spines in rows along their backs and limbs. Their long sinuous bodies are powerfully muscled making them excellent swimmers but their wings are somewhat small. As they age and spend long periods lying amongst the rocks and mud at the bottoms of progressively deeper rivers their hides take on the coloration of the river they inhabit, be it mossy, muddy, or rocky as they become impregnated with those materials.
Aquamarine dragons live in rivers; from headwaters at young ages to deltas once older. They spend their long lives hiding underwater, controlling currents and capriciously drowning people. They tend to bury their hordes in caches and caves they dig at the bottom of their rivers and into cavernous aquifers.
Occasionally they will encounter another river dragon as they age and move slowly from their mountaintop springs to deeper waters. When these encounters take place they will generally fight for dominance and control of the river. Losers are slain if they cannot escape back upriver. On the occasions when they are of opposite sexes, mating may occur before or after the fight for dominance, and the victor will send the loser upriver to hide the eggs amongst the stones at the springs and headwaters of the river.
Combat
River dragons are rarely found out of their rivers, and use the water as cover from which to make quick strikes and then fade away.
Breath Weapon (Su)
A river dragon’s breath weapon is a powerful line of frigid water. The damage dealt is half cold and half bludgeoning. In addition to the damage, creatures must make a strength check opposed by the dragon’s breath weapon DC or be affected as by a bull rush: being pushed back 5 ft and and additional foot for every point by which they lost the opposed strength check.
Water Breathing (Ex)
A river dragon can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use its breath weapon, spells, and other abilities while submerged.
Create Spring (Su)
A river dragon can create a new spring once per day as a full-round action. The dragon digs down into the earth and spits water from it’s mouth as a use of it’s breath weapon. This creates a small, permanent spring at that spot, large enough to feed a small stream.
Spell-Like Abilities
At will— water walk; 1/day fog cloud (young or older), 3/day control water (adult or older); 1/day—control weather (great wyrm).
Skills
Bluff, Intimidate, and Survival are considered class skills for aquamarine dragons.

Wil’nniea and Wil’ancyn, Sister Enchantresses and Water Mages
Born together in the desert, Wil’nniea and Wil’ancyn were raised in a temple dedicated to the worship of magic and water. Underground cisterns and mysterious rituals surrounded them as small girls.
As they grew up in this desert temple of Baccob, god of magic, they learned many things. Each of their mystical abilities grew, similar but different, like two mirror images, one dark and one light. Wil’nniea’s abilities were wild and rooted in her love of the natural world. Wil’ancyn’s talents came to her through worship, study, and the devotions she shared with the others in the temple.
In later life they were among a very few preistesses of Baccob that escaped the great Anmagus Crusade, and eventually fought in battle against the champions of the Order of the Sword of Light defending the last standing temple of Baccob in the northern reaches of the middle kingdom. They were able to ward the Crusaders off, and the siege lay unbroken for seven years, until the Crusade was finally ended by the High Pontiff of Heronious and the Order was recalled and sent on other errands.
Of course by this time the Crusade had achieved it’s end: the arts of magic were practiced only in secret throughout all of the middle kingdoms, and the worship of Baccob was unknown among it’s peoples.
Presented below are their stats as they were during the siege of the Temple of Boccob.

Overclaw Gauntlet
Used by the Dz’ata Möschu, generally as an off-hand weapon, the overclaw gauntlet is a full hand metal glove. The final portion of the fingers taper into 3 inch spikes, which taper to sharpened blades along the inside.
In battle the Dz’ata Möschu will often use them to assist in disarming their foes: grabbing their blades as they are swung and wresting them from their opponents.
An overclaw gauntlet forged for a medium-sized hand deals 1d6 points of damage and threatens a critical on a roll of 20. It is considered a light weapon.
Creatures with a natural claw attack can treat the gauntlet as a natural weapon for all effects related to off-hand weapons, the multiattack feat, etc.

Dz’ata Möschu – the sleepless killers
The product of a mystical breeding program combining diabolic bloodlines with the kingdom’s finest soldiers, the Dz’ata Möschu were originally created by an ancient race to serve as soldiers and guards. When that race was destroyed the Dzta Möschu survived and became the dominant culture in the blasted region that remained. They occupy the mountainous wastelands in the northern central region of the middle kingdoms.
Their history lost in the mists of time, the Dz’ata Möschu are now considered little more than horrible monsters by the people of the middle kingdoms, and little is known of their culture. They have retained their warlike nature, and so most encounters with them come to violence. As a society, they are extremely lawful and somewhat evil. Individuals tend to match this. The only peaceful relations they have are by ancient tradition with the small nests of Kenku that also occupy the region.
Physically very similar to gargoyles, these people have extremely tough, stony skin, powerful wings, horns, claws and tails.
Dz’ata Möschu characters possess the following racial traits.
+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +4 Constitution, -2 Inteligence, -2 Charisma.
Medium size.

Naahaogo: the mountain goat people
Beast Men (Na’ah-aogo): Known as beast-men by their human neighbors, but calling themselves the Naahaogo, these creatures dwell in the barrier mountains north at the headwaters of the river that flows through the wild woods separating the gnomes and humans in the lands on the north shore of the Soral Sea. They are thought of as dangerous savages by the humans south of them, and have fought settlers and raiders from the human kingdoms.
They are organized into small family units and are primarily nomadic gatherers. They have the aspect of men with the head and hind legs of a goat, with a good pelt of fur across their entire bodies, giving them a hardy resistance to cold weather.
They receive a +4 racial bonus to jump, climb and balance checks and are well suited to the mountain terrain in which they live.
They recieve a +1 racial adjustment to dex and con and a -2 adjustment to intelegence and -1 to charisma.
Their favored class is ranger, but druids and barbarians are common among them.
Their society tends to be neutral and slightly chaotic as do individual members of the race. They fight with longbows and spears, though their warriors favor many weapons such as greataxes, greatswords and longspears.
