Current Events > D&D One shot idea: help maybe? Warning: Dungeon is gross.

(+) Yeah! (+)

So first things first; the inspiration for the dungeon is based off a song (Prince of the Land of Stench - Nekrogoblikon) if you want to know where the idea comes from.

The idea is a group of Goblins decided they lived their life "to clean" and moved to the wintery north (Nornheim for my world) to sculpt a Kingdom of gore. They found a large cave in the side of a glacier and decided to make their home there. The wall of the kingdom (and most of the infrastructure) is frozen urine, feces, blood etc. The idea is it's frozen so it doesn't bother any senses (other than sight) until fire spells start getting launched (Lol fireball). The throne is made of pure, frozen pus (to make it "pearly").

Ideas for monsters:
Goblins (Duh)
Piss Golem (Ice golem with some special effects)
[Frozen] Blood Golem
King Hoggle - Some sorta mutated super Goblin.
Wolves

Anyone got any fun ideas? I want to build this to be a way to introduce people to my world an recruit players. I am the DM, obviously.

Dude.

Shit golem.

Snot slugs.
Mung maggots
Pus demons.

Sludgy rivers of coagulated blood.

This seems like a terrible idea, but you should definitely throw some shit-eating otyughs in there.

Also, the dead. Where do they keep them?

They don't bury them, they just freeze them and keep them around as part of their religion, respecting their ancestors.

I'm am absolutely loving these ideas.

To clarify:
Fecal Golems accompany the Piss Golems. (Already thought of, just didnt mention)
Pus Golems are great; the throne can be a giant plus golem
Its to cold for rivers, it's used as building material after all
Undead are heavy in the north (Necromancer rules a good portion of land), so they're to be expected, just not as common in the 'Land of Stench'. - finished reading the post (thought it did already, but misunderstood). I like this idea, maybe they get turned into mush to build with. Maybe monuments.

Edit: Otyuhgs sound perfect.

Of course leeches must reside within the river styx

Instead of three different golems, you should change some of them to be other kinds of creatures. Like instead of a shit golem, it's a reskinned gray ooze with its weapon corrosion replaced with an innate Stinking Cloud effect centered on itself. Instead of a piss golem, you have a room full of overflowing chamber pots containing piss-based water weirds.

Just go all "pretend you're seven" scatalogical about it.
Diarrheamancers and booger missiles and stuff.

That's sounds great, but I want to incorporate traps and stuff that some of that might fit into.

One of the biggest parts of this dungeon is restricting fire; if the walls melt your subjected to terrible smells and disease.

I... like this idea. I'll have to contact some small children I guess.

HEY CE! I got a question

Yeesh

That's partly why I suggested water weirds. They're restricted to their water source, so they can be used as more of an obstacle than a monster.

Considering I thought about elementals, I don't know how I missed the obvious: instead of an air elemental, it's the sheer stench given a body and mind. Or to put it bluntly, it's a fart elemental.

I'm combining these ideas for the mid boss and Final boss.

Song will be the intro to the mid boss, but I'm using the OG song for the Boss.

Also incase it's not obvious: I'm going for a group of adults which is why I use the terms "urine", "feces", and "gore". this is honestly serious and I want to make a one shot that's not just polishing my players dicks.

I understand your goal, I'm just not sure how this is going to be accomplished. I'm almost certain it's going to devolve very quickly the first time a player realizes they're fighting a sentient turd.

I'm thinking the pollution smoke creature in Ferngully

I expect a lot of potty jokes, that's part of the fun (Huge South Park fan here). I want to make something where they make jokes but deal with the consequences and have more fun for it. Imagine this:

You come face to face with an army of 8 goblins, all in gleaming armor; brandishing magical objects you haven't yet identified.

Wizard: Fireball!

DM: You kill them and feces melts around the bodies, engulfing them in a stream of pure shit

Party: LOL!!!!

DM: Everyone make a constitution saving throw from the scent of 100 years of rotten shit

Party: Wha...What?

DM: You're all puking from the wizards irresponsible Fireball. Everyone gets -2 on their next attack rolls from the smell

This is the kind of stuff I want to figure out; How to make them think really hard about their ideas while also being forgiving in some ways (unlike my brothers oil monster that turns into a nuke at the first sign of fire)

They won't want to use fire anymore, but now that the ground is wet they can't use lightning either.

That's the point; teach them to actually understand repercussions. I like to utilize my environments (Example: Broke 12 crossbows into kindling to light a fire around a coffin full of "Army of Centipedes" to kill them before they could attack). I want to encourage creativity. they could also light the fire ahead of them to cause damage before they get there.
