Name:
"Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta...(na me trails on for another 5 lines)", mostly known as the (Ancient Triple Headed Hydra)

Climate: Humongous piles of Charred belongings (the ancient hydra never leaves behind body parts or bones) of people thought to have witnessed it found in a huge maze of tunnels miles beneath the earth, only living person who witnessed the beast is Elminster, one survivor out of an army of 800, he still bears the physical and mental scars of the horrible slaughter. It is thought that elminster didn't escape on his own accord, but rather was chosen to live by the Ancient Hydra for reasons unknown, some say that Elminster is controlled telepathically as a familiar by the brilliant third head of the hydra so that the hydra can affect politics on the surface world. Elminster gives very few details about the event and, strangely enough, is defensive of the creature whenever it is talked about in a conversation, suspicious indeed.

Frequency: only 1 known to exist

Organization: 1 body 3 heads, equivalent to one defender (the body) attached to three attackers(the heads). When the one defender(the body) is killed all three heads perish and cannot attack any more

Activity Cycle: Moves around and hides in deepest, darkest holes below the earth

Diet: Any living thing that has the has the audacity and misfortune to run into it near one of its many hiding places beneath the earth

Intelligence: Head one 3, head two 3, head three 31 (head three thought to be brains of operation, heads one and two being only mindless drones)

Thaco: Head one -24, Head two -24, head three -15

Ac: -18

Special Defense: Immunity to +5 and lower weapons, gets save throw 100 % of the time if save throw is given, 95% magic resist, 92 percent magic dmg resist, 250 % fire resist, 70 percent cold/lightning/acid resist, 289 HP, regenerates 3 HP every 2 seconds

Special Attack:

Head one-"Hellish Devouring"- (special attack which kills person instantly if below 110 HP,person must be with 20 feet of hydra, no save throw, 3 of these attacks usable per day),

Head two-"Acidic Hell Spray"-(special attack, head spits acid in an area 20 feet in diamater, save vs. acid at -8, person who fails save vs throw is blinded for 4 rounds and takes 20 dmg instantly and suffers 2 points of acid dmg every 3 seconds for next 60 seconds, 3 attacks per day),

Head Three is equivalent to a lvl 41 mage and can cast up to lvl 12 spells, spell casting times for head three are reduced by 5, "Favor of the Gods"- ability that heals the Hydra to full, heals it of every possible ailment, regenerates all abilities and spells, only down side is that this ability is used up for good, one time use., "Call of Elminster"-This ability summons elminster for 4 rounds to fight alongside of the beast, perhaps a favor given to the beast by elminster in return for sparing the wizards life, noone knows,usable only once, not regenerated with Favor of Gods ability, "Divine Sacrafice"-Final automatic contingency attack made by hydra, when it dies a person other than your main character is sucked into the hellish abyss along with the hydra and removed from the game permanently, person's belongings r in his place where he died, the next add on to Neverwinter Nights can be all about rescuing this character from his hellish fate and getting him back in the party

Whenever any of the three heads makes a regular melee attack against a person they must make a save vs spell at -10 or suffer an additional 30 points of fire damage, also everyone within 10 feet of the person who was attacked must make a save vs spell or suffer 15 points of fire dmg

Hehe, u can tell i was really bored and had a lot of time on my hands when i wrote this, also this monster is too powerful for SG2 i guess and should be end boss of ToB or Neverwinter Nights please send feedback of "Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta...(na me trails on for another 5 lines)"

For fun, with each reply u can add more details to monster

That wasnt half bad actually..I actually thought it was for realhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif

Toning down that "kills you if you're above 110hp" might be a good idea cause that would mean instant death for any non-fighters under level 20..
And *ARE* there level 41 mages?

Cool Idea matey..always did like hydras..

No-Name Face

You obviously like that creature, Shagrat. You wrote about it in Gen Con to.

What we do in life, echoes in eternity

If u notice for hellish devouring to work person must be within 20 feet of the beast, hence the beast is actually devouring the creature whole basically. Just keep your mages 20+ feet away and they r immune to it

Special ability of Draxityle'bsythjoilgdhywhatshisfacethingymebob etc:
Turns into a chicken at will. This will cause confusion in any characters who can see him as they have no idea why they have just wasted three months of their life fighting insurmountable odds to kill a chicken. Whilst they are running around confused he will then turn back into his normal form and continue to attack them.
By the way Shagrat what weapons did you invisage actually being able to harm this bloke?

Life is like a piece of cheese. Mice only enjoy it in cartoons and it is better with toast

+6 weapons hehe, do they have any of those in ToB?? maybe they'll have em in neverwinter nights dont know, or the immunity could be removed with some sort of lvl 10 or lvl 11 immunity remover type spell that works on anything, don't know, use your imagination

[This message has been edited by Shagrat The Half Orc (edited 10-28-2001).]

Obviously the dragon was by far the coolest monster in BG2, the only way they could make an even cooler monster is by using a three headed dragon, also known as a hydra, wouldn't that be kewl.

Don't u mean invision instead of invisage?? What does invisage mean?

Now theres a challenge I can't refuse.
The Sword of Great Death
This sword was created to fight Draxjhaoisrbegasndjnq'keyboardmashedwithhand etc names goes on until everyone gets tired and goes home. The weilder has immunity to being eaten as he appears to the casual observer to be covered with French Mustard. It also grants 150% fire immunity and a complete resistance to all forms of acid or disease. Its greatest power however is to imbibe the weilder with a complete hatred of chickens of every form. If he sees a chicken with the sword equipped he will immediately move towards it and try to attack it. However the sword can only be safely used by someone with a natural strength of 19 (non item related). If it is used by anyone else then all party members must make a save vs death every round or die laughing at the sight of a complete weakling holding the greatest sword ever made. Its tough, but thats life when you are trying to kill Draxireallycan'tbebotheredtowriteoutthewholenameag ain and so on while everyone else sits down and has a cup of tea.

LoL, that name has a lot of funny potential

Damn u, envisage is a word, not only that but "invision" isnt a word but envision is, doh...

I think Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta...(name trails on for another 5 lines)" would own Irenicus, dont u???

Not a chance.. by the time Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta'yougethepi 'cture finishes saying "Behold Jon Irenicus, I am the great and mighty multiheaded hydra known to some as Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta'iamthegrea tcornholio ..." Jon would have turned him into a newt.

Oh my God! This is Irenicus twin brother!

Where there are monsters and barbarians there will be Byronas fighting against them.

That is why the language is known as English my Half Orc friend - it is spoken best by Englishmen.
By the way I think Draxwhyarewestilltypingthisout'itisgettingprettybo ring would be able to eat Irenicus whole and then have another special attack:
Irenicus fuelled vomit
The Hydra has a bad attack of indigestion and vomits pieces of great arch mage over his foes. Whilst this causes no damage it isn't very nice and any bards hit have to go home and change clothes immediately.

one question...
what would Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta..., have to do with the game?
Come up with some background, and I think we've got something here!http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

I saw the movie, but I didn't think the action scenes were THAT good.

Draxlkasldfuehgyxzok'ohnonotagain name goes on for far too long until everyone has forgotten what they were talking about wouldhave eaten Imoen at the beggining of the game. You first have to raise the money for someone to listen to the whole of his name without telling you to go away. The normal fee is 20000 GP but it gets dropped to 15 000 GP once you tell them that it could become some sort of running gag and that they only have to hear the whole thing once. Then you have to journey to his layer where he captures you and steals your soul (having heard that they go well with lemon, Note: Draxohigiveupthisdoesn'tgetanyfunnierdoesit eventually realises that this is infact sole he was thinking about not soul - it is obvious that this plan was formulated by one of the first two heads). After this you escape and have to fight your way through the sewers in search of your now eaten soul. The game finishes with you fighting Draxiamrunningoutofideaswithwhattodowith'thename name goes on until everyone has fallen asleep and he can go back to his layer, because if you didn't then there would be something wrong with you. If anyone wants to flesh out this really dodgy storyline then feel free.

Just attempting to bump this slightly - I want input from you people so make it quick!

OK his name will just be just "Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta" instead of "Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta(name trails on for another 5 lines)" to make things easier, im sure you easily all can remember the name Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta, i sure have no problem remember the name Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta. Lets repeat the name 5 times over and over so we can all remember it Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta,Daxtylixur zik'cag'ambrixilacktr'sylicta,Daxtylixurzik'cag'am brixilacktr'sylicta,Daxtylixurzik'cag'ambrixilackt r'sylicta,Daxtylixurzik'cag'am brixilacktr'sylicta, there that was easy for me to do, now u try it.

Also he will have a fourth attack "Burp of Ages"-he burps so hard that he sends all your party members flying back as in the dragon's "Wing Flap" special ability, also it acts as a stinking cloud spell cuz of its nastiness and causes your guys to pass out. I can only imagine what other special abilities u think up escrapulating from the burp of ages idea...

even better as a last bad guy, that REAL monster from REAL roleplaying dungeons and dragons, called TARRASQUE,
i think these are his abilities

IMMUNE TO +3 WEAPONS OR LESS
IMMUNE TO MISSILE ATTACKS (BOUNCES OFF HIDE)
MAGIC ATTACK BOUNCE OFF HIDE (100% IMMUNITY TO MAGIC)
MUST BE REDUCED TO -30 HP, THEN MUST USE A WISH SPELL TO KILL IT
IMMUNE TO FIRE AND COLD ATTACKS (50% RESISTANCE TO ACID)
CLAWS DAMAGE 1D10+3
HORNS DAMAGE 1D12 (DOUBLE DAMAGE WHEN CHARGING)
TAIL DAMAGE 1D12
TEETH DAMAGE 2D20 ALSO ACTS AS SWORD OF SHARPNESS OR VORPAL BLADE, SEVERING LIMBS ON A CRITICAL HIT
THACO -20
AC -10
ATTACKS PER ROUND 7

THE LEGENDARY TARRASQUE, FORTUNATELY ONLY ONE IS KNOWN TO EXIST, IS A FORMIDIBLE OPPONENT. THOUGH FORTUNATELY ONLY AWAKE FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AT A TIME ABOUT EVERY 14 MONTHS, THIS CREATURE ONCE AWAKENED FROM ITS DORMANCY WILL RAMPAGE EVERYTHING FOR MILE AROUND, CAUSING ALL CREATURES OF LESS THAN 20 HP TO BE PARALIZED IN FRIGHT UNTIL THE BEAST HAS LEFT THEIR SIGHT, CREATURES OF MORE THAN 20 HP MUST SAVE VS SPELL? (I THINK) BUT THEN, IF INTELLIGENT, WILL RUN ANYWAY. THIS BEAST LOOKS LIKE A GIANT GREY REPTILIAN BEAST WITH LARGE HORNS ON ITS HEAD AND A GREAT SWEEPING TAIL. ABOUT 50 FEET FROM HEAD TO END OF TAIL AND ABOUT 35 FEET TALL. NORMALLY PRETTY SLOW MOVING EVERY 5 ROUNDS IT MAY CHARGE AT A GREAT PACE, USUALLY ATTACKING WITH ITS HORNS.

ONCE KILLED ITS HIDE MAY BE MADE INTO A HIDE ARMOR WITH THESE ABILITIES-
-9 AC
95% RESISTANCE TO MAGIC, FIRE AND COLD
35% RESISTANCE TO ACID
MISSILE ATTACKS BOUNCE OFF WITH A 10% CHANCE OF FLYING BACK AT THE ATTACKER

ALSO, BENEATH ITS LARGE CARAPACE THEIR IS SAID TO BE A GREAT TREASURE
ADDING UP TO 15D100 GEMS WORTH 1000GP EACH.


A NASTY BEAST

ooh I want one

One more post...

Shagrat, are you trying to make things hard for yourself? This is spamming, dude.

You could kill that first creature the one i cant be bothered writing out its name even if you didnt have ToB! Although you would need TDD, all you would need to do is cast magical fang from a priest and be very lucky with constituition etc. And LIVE!
