Description: The bleak arctic land of Naath is inhabited by a squat, dark-haired, yellow- and brown-skinned people, the Naathi.

It really is great fun to be back working on Xoth related things again. I much prefer working on these than I did on Monsters of Legend 2 to be honest. Then again I have a huge soft-spot for S&S. I'm using the same system I used when converting SGB 1 and 2, so things like possessions, tactics and description remain along with the Combat Styles with quirky names at times and other tricks.
 
Races of the North document and Cultures done. Only the adventure document left to convert. Not a bad start to this one at all now I finally have things sorted!
 
Right, now working on the core adventure - this will take a little bit of time. There's a lot of fiddly NPCs in here but they're also fairly neat.

The adventure is setup like a sandbox so it'll be interesting to see how it works in Legend.

Expect a lot of powerful NPCs in this one, it's a high level doozy by the look of it too.

Dirk -- S S 1D3+2+1D2 Bleed, Impale 6/6
Dart 20m S -- 1D4+1D2 Impale 2/1


Possessions: Grinnar carries an old, well-polished horn which looks worthless but is actually a magical horn known as Kolnur’s Fury (see below). He has 20 SP and a flask of premium quality liquor.
Description: Grinnar is middle-aged, slightly obese, and purple-nosed. He wears fine clothes tainted by food stains and the mud and dust of the road. Despite his drinking problem and his odious habits, he is still an excellent performer and a storehouse of knowledge. If befriended, he can be a useful ally, but also an unpredictable liability.
Tactics: The bard likes to cause mischief wherever he travels, whether he uses some of his spells, or simply uses his silver tongue to cause discord and chaos.
Optional: If the Games Master desires Grinnar can only recover his Magic Points by drinking heavily, this adds a bit more substance to his nickname: ‘the Drunken Skald’.

[SIDE BOX]
Kolnur’s Fury
This old and well-polished horn might not look like much, but locked inside the depths of this ivory and wood creation is a powerful spell which the Bard can call forth. The spell functions like a version of Wrack (Page 208 Legend core rulebook) and the horn emits a blasting note, which affects a target as though the Bard had a Sorcery (Grimoire) skill of 110%- the horn can be used three times a day. It also affects CON/4 (rounded up) targets.

The 'Drunken Skald' and yes, his Combat Style and Grimoire are musically related.

Excellent. Any idea of an ETA for this?

As soon as I can get the core adventure converted. Now the thing about this one is that it's not a linear take on Xoth. Morten has set it up so you can sandbox it and there's a bunch of NPCs that need converting.

Not so much in terms of Legend rules at the moment. But I am back working on this as of tomorrow.

I will keep folks updated.

I present Angar Gul, he's been a bit dead recently - took a few years off in Xoth for tax reasons. Likely to react badly if approached by taxmen (I kid, of course).

Weapons
Type Range Size Reach Damage AP/HP
Grasp -- M T 1D6+1D6 As for Arm
Any weapon as used in life

Possessions: Most of Angar Gul’s possessions have rotted away, save for his rings and the scarab-shaped ring he has in his pocket. Horse (which is also a Bog Mummy, double STR and CON of horse found in Monsters of Legend – it does not have the fearful presence or the other abilities of its master).
Description: It’s hard to recognise the man as he once was; now he’s a shambling horror that puts the fear of the gods into his enemies.
Tactics: Angar Gul terrorises his enemies with his fearful aura, and tries to rip them to bits hand to hand.
Combat Notes:
Disease: Rotten Bog Disease (as per Creeping Chills on page 80 of Legend core rulebook).
Fearful Aura: Bog mummies have a frightening effect on their enemies. All creatures in a 10 meter area that see a Bog mummy must make a Difficult Persistence test or suffer the effect of Paralysis (victim cannot move) for POW/4 (rounded up) rounds. The affected creature cannot be affected again the same day, even if they fail their test.
Marsh Movement: Bog mummies can move normally through mud, marshes and swamps, they can sink to the bottom of the murk and keep moving without penalty.

The book is progressing quite nicely now, and I plan to get as much done ASAP.

Tree of Death (Tendril lash) 120%

Weapons
Type Range Size Reach Damage AP/HP
Tendril lash -- VL VL 1D12+1D12 3/7

Possessions: There might be some treasure strewn around the floor where the corpses have been hung: totalling 60 SP.
Description: Hidden deep in a forested valley is a site sacred to the old cults of Yg. Here, surrounded by an outer perimeter of moss-grown standing stones, is a massive, ancient, evergreen tree with far-spreading branches. This is the Yg-Tree, considered the most sacred of all shrines dedicated to the Gods of the Land.
Tactics: The tree is patient and it has an eternity to wait, watch and learn.
Combat Notes:
Create Yg-Tree Zombie: When a creature dies within 5 meters of the Yg-Tree, it uses a sharpened tendril to slice open the creature’s abdomen, thereby spilling the corpse’s innards on the ground. The organs and fluids are then absorbed by the tree’s roots.
Corpses of a size other than Medium or Large are simply left to rot. Medium or Large corpses are filled with a greenish pollen freed from one of the tree’s branches. The abdominal wound heals over the next 1D4 days, at which time the slain creature rises as an Yg-Tree zombie connected by a tether-vine to the Yg-Tree. Yg-Tree zombies possess none of their former abilities.
The Yg-Tree has several Yg-Tree zombies connected to it, but no more than 7 at one time.
Use the stats for zombies from page 93 of Monsters of Legend
In addition the zombies can breathe a cube-shaped cloud of spores (6 meter cube), which have a magical effect similar to the Hinder spell found on page 200 of the Legend core rulebook. They can perform this feat POW/4 (rounded up) times per day and the zombies are considered to have a Sorcery (Grimoire) skill of 70%.
If the tendril that connects the zombie to the tree is severed (AP 3/HP 7) then the zombie cannot use its sense vibration or its cloud-breath attacks.
Sense Vibration: The Yg-Tree and any attached zombies can automatically sense the location of anything within 8 meters that is in contact with the same vegetation the tree is touching.

A bit from an adventure encounter area.

Chasm and Rope Bridge: Cutting through the terrain from east to west is a yawning chasm, 15 meters wide and 50 meters deep and 3 miles long. The bottom of the chasm is filled with bones of both animals and humans.
Stretching across the chasm is a rope bridge constructed of wooden planks suspended from ropes. The bridge is in bad repair and movement across it is reduced by half.
It takes two rounds to untie one end of the rope bridge, but a Routine Mechanisms test reduces the time to a Combat Action. Alternatively, the ropes can be cut with a slashing weapon; each rope has 6 hit points and 1 armour point.
If only one of the two supporting ropes is attached, everyone on the bridge must succeed on a Difficult Athletics test to avoid falling off, and thereafter must make Routine Athletics tests to move along the remnants of the bridge. The rope bridge is 4 meters wide.
This is an excellent location to stage an encounter with one or more creatures from the random encounter table for the Land of Yg.

Combat Notes:
Brrr that’s COLD: Any creature struck by the claws of these monsters, that penetrate their armour and score a wound suffers 1D3 cold damage. They must make a Difficult Resilience test or be paralysed for CON/4 (round up) rounds.
That’s even COLDER: Any creature that attacks this monster in hand to hand must make a Hard Resilience test or take 1D4 points of cold damage to the limb used to attack the Hoar Spirit.
Cold Breath: For CON/4 (rounded up) times a day the Hoar Spirit can spit out a cone-like blast of frosty air, which affects targets in a 1m at the start, to a 5m wide end area. All creatures caught in the area of effect take 1D6 points and are frozen solid for 1D4 rounds unless they make a Difficult Evade test.
Frozen creatures can be broken free by their allies with a Difficult Brawn test.

Weapons
Type Range Size Reach Damage AP/HP
Claws -- S M 1D4+1D4+special As for Arm

Possessions: These hags tend to have scavenged items from dead adventurers, likely a few coins here and there and at least one minor magical item, probably a ring torn off someone’s finger.
Description: With dark unkempt hair and glowing yellow eyes, these mean looking green-skinned warty old women send a shiver through anyone’s blood.
Tactics: They like to confuse and trick their prey, before they charge in with their claws and attempt to draw strength from their enemies like water from a well.
Combat Notes:
Sap Strength: Each time a wound is inflicted by the hag, the wounded must make a Difficult Resilience test or suffer the effects of a Diminish (STR) spell as per page 197 of Legend core rulebook.
Brilliant Mimic: Hags are known to be able to imitate the sounds of almost any animal found near their lairs.

I always wanted to see a Hag for Legend, so I built this one from the d20 Xoth document and picked spells which mimicked the spell-like powers hags usually have.
