Old Greyhawk Castle - Side Levels

Underground Sea

As for the underground sea think of it more as what would be encountered from further explorations in the D# module, part of the great Underdark. The Black Reservoir level is tiny compred to the former body of water, and the reservoir is filled with large supporting pillars too...although the sea monster dwelling in its waters doesn't mind the obstructions #4690

The PCs ddn't submerge much on the water level of the castle's dungeons. there was a pool with nixies in it, a transporter to an underwater adventure, and various outdoor adventures where most of this sort of thing took place. The encounters were the typical mix of critters, including one where I had a dragon turtle. Sahauagin weren't included, IIRR. #4655

This is likely the level that is using a hex map, as it will be very large. Like much deeper down. This is not the Black Reservoir, which was published in 1975 and part of the Expanded Castle, as the map for it is included in Rob Kuntz's El Raja Key Archive [27].

[Black Reservoir] Allan, I had totally forgotten that lurid tale I wrote. It was a dramatization of an actual dungeon adventure into the enlarged Castle Greyhawk that Rob and I co-DMed, of course, and an accurate one too. The strange rod was a Dirdir laser pistol gained from adventuring through a gate that brought PCs to the "Pkanet of Adventure" and the "Carabas" thereof.

Anyway, I have the map of the level, of ourse, and it might make it into the revised form we need to have so as to have a product that is publishable. At worst it can be used as a potential add-on module to the main levels.

So I have saved the story and will see what can be done in regards including the level in the Zagyg's Castle project. #1640

Orc and Gnoll Warrens

They orcs in the dungeon were of two separate tribes, but I have forgotten the names I gave them. As near as I can recollect, one was the Grinning Skull and the other was the Bloody Axe. they were all cut down or made into vassals by Robilar and Terik, with a good deal of assistance from Tenser. #1871

Museum of the Gods / From Another World

Gygax Games has published the map to this side level.

The level supposedly contained "artifacts" from other worlds and times (i.e. contemporary).
