Guy de Gaxian's Dungeon Monsters - Level 1

From out of the depths of the Drowic Underworld, the monsters of the Dungeons of the Elder Age have arisen once again ...

Rot Grubs, Ear Weevils, Monstrous Ticks, Carnivorous Apes.  Ice Toads, the fell Leucrotta, Slithering Trackers, even the vile and legendary Amphisbaena …

So many of the eldritch horrors of the First and Glorious Age — only whispered of now, and nearly forgotten, in the staid Age of the Fifth — are lost to us. They live on, in the dungeons deep, yet our sages are ignorant of their secrets.  And yet?

For the Master who is willing to delve into the ancestral archives, the locked and ancient library which lies beneath the Drowic Lyceum of the Dark Seraphim, there are many untold horrors and wonders to be learned of. The coastal Archmages of the Fifth Age, aloft in their ivory towers, have unknowingly silenced and stifled many of these forbidden works, but an intrepid Learner Aspirant can still find them, and learn from them, and solemnly take heed … if you dare.

Of all the greatest bestiaries of the Elder World, by far the most renowned was the Ghastly Grimoire of the greatest dungeon delver history has ever known, the doughty, stalwart, and famously eccentric Viscount of Lacus Genevra. His name? Why, (Esq.) Guy de Gaxian, of course …

Are you interested, foremost among your peers, to know his secrets?  Yes?  Then be silent. Bring your lock picks, your cloak of invisibility. Do not be seen. And ere this witching hour, come to me.  For I have a most wondrous book for you …
