you read the title, there's pumpkin spice in the drinks and skeletons in the stores, its time for OBLIGITORY SPOOKY THREAD!!! (canned cheers).

so I got to thinking. humans have the Boogeyman, but what about other rac- SPECIES hmm?

so I'll be posting a Boogeyman for each of the 2024 core races in no particular order!

you can use them as npcs, random encounters, one off montsters,  villains, or even PCs! (that's right. all of them will be playable. I just love to make things hard for myself don't I?)

1st on the list, DWARFS.

*dwarf voice* come 'ere laddie and I'll tell you a stoy

The Legend Of Morgram Caverunner

once upon a time, a dwarf named Morgram was banished for stealing. now, when most dwarfs are banished, they go to the surface, but Morgram was an odd stone, and went deep. deep into the caves. deeper that any dwarf had gone before. he ate the creatures of the caves. creatures who in a thousand thousand generations had never seen the sun. he drank the water of the earth, fortified with strange minerals. that, combined with his rage at being banished, turned him into something-- else. he has pale skin, and long nails, and a scraggley white beard, and he still stalks the caverns, and if you ever wander off alone, he'll catch you and EAT YOU! the end.

as for playing Morgram, he's a 2024 dwarf path of the beast barbarian with pale skin, long nails, a lot slung posture and a scraggley white beard.

next week; ORCS

Iron-handed Sark

Once, during the elf wars, a warrior named Sark was captured. He was experimented on by the elves. He spoke of a terrifying machine that harnessed the lightnings and scrambled the minds of its target. When he came back, he had an iron spike in place of his left forearm. When his band came to welcome him, his arm moved on its own & skewered the lead orc right though the throat. Then he went on a rampage, killing every orc in sight. That elvish machine had implanted a command that no magic or medicine could lift. The command to seek out & kill every orc besides yourself that you see. Now he wanders in search of a war band that will accept him. So never talk to strangers. They could be iron-handed sark. The end
