"Off brand Roomba." - Will 2021
2 / 5 stars. Gets the job done, but you get more for your coin with an ooze! 🤣
Two days ago I made and played a reskinned Rune Knight gnoll. Concept: Monster Hunter. Will add 2 lvls of artificer. All abilities will be reskinned as magical weapons/armor that the character is wearing. Got a shield made from what looks like the back of a large crocodile, a warpick that's a femur bone with a large beak as the head. Etc etc
Oh and thank you for an awesome show, best dnd lore podcast.

I remember in 2nd edition, carrion crawlers would freak us out almost as much as a mind flayer. And earn the same kind of concentrated firepower when it showed up.
The expert addition of Advanced D&D had a carrion crawler as the first thing you fight in the sample adventure module
I remembered one more thing I wanted to tell you guys; thank you so much for the show. You are with me while doing the dishes, cleaning, on my way to work. I've listened to all the through all of the episode during these especially dark winter months #screwcovid-19.
On occasion, during especially good episodes I've continued listening while taking a shower, which in a sense means you've taken a shower with a tall, blond, Swedish guy. Feel free to use that in your CV should you ever need it.
'People don't have free will'
Then why am I disagreeing in the comments section?
Damnit, Google tricked me again.
(love the show guys keep it up)
I like to think that a Carrion Crawler can roll itself into a ball and just mow over adventurers Indiana Jones boulder-style. Imagine having that come at you while you're exploring the Underdark! ;)
They are just croc potting you in the dungeon for a couple weeks
I remember back in 1st ed, these things didn't have any form of damaging attack. Literally *all* they could do was paralyze you. And then what? Just gum you until you prayed for a wandering monster to come along and finish you off?
Paralyze then drop on you from the ceiling. Tenderize the meat! Lol
Crawling in almost an hour late, but im not down in the carrion
Thats the best I got sorry
Don't mind me. Ill just carry on crawling super slow as normal.
Much love to you all. V-day or not
You two did better than me. I've got nothing at all. For the first time I dont have any pun, not even a bad one. I have disgraced myself.
Excellent episode as always! And shout out to demogorgon and his Ixitxachitls homies!
I ran a pretty fun encounter recently that used Carrion Crawlers. It was a deadly encounter in the main keep of an evil lord the PCs had made enemies out of (rather, maybe I should say it followed this encounter). He lured them inside by having his men march away from his fort (seemingly to pillage and plunder a nearby village) so the party would think he was vulnerable, only for him to reveal that his elite soldiers were laying in wait for them inside and the rest of his men were marching back.
In the middle of the throne room where combat was occurring, there was a big pit that went down into the caverns below the keep. These caverns were used for a variety of purposes (breeding monsters, holding prisoners, etc.). Whenever a player was dropped to 0, rather than leaving them making death saves the body would quickly be dumped into the pit (the fall making them automatically fail one save and threatened to outright kill the lower health party members).
Eventually the party all were down the pit, either from being knocked to 0 and being dumped in, being pushed in, or jumping in willingly after it became apparent that the party was losing and that the people in the pit probably needed help anyways. So everyone was in the pit, very injured, some with lingering injuries, when it is revealed that the chamber they are in is filled with Carrion Crawlers meant to dispose of their bodies. The party was just able to get out of the encounter alive and escape deeper into the caverns, which wasn't exactly safe, per say, but one of them had the foresight to use magic to make it look like they had died in the chamber so the lord wouldn't send his men after them.
It was a really intense couple of encounters that really increased how threatening this villain was to the party (previously they were very confident they could kill him basically whenever they wanted).
13:03 😂🤣 so damn funny!
Do you ever think these wizards opening portals to the far realm think "oh, should I do this in a demi-plane cut off from my primary reality?" and then go "nah, fuck it" and blast open Firestorm Peak, dooming an entire crystal sphere to be pulled in to the insanity outside of the multiverse
Wizards able to open demi-planes are at the power level where they are aware of Gold and Silver Dragons, so all they’re likely concerned of is:
Is it able to kill me without me being able to escape?
Can it seal me in an inescapable prison?
Is it stronger than a Silver/Gold Dragon?
Meanwhile, if they open a demi-plane and do their experiments there, there is a chance that they accidentally summon something that would trap them in the demiplane indefinitely, a lesson taught by none other than Strahd Von Zarovich.
You can use the entry in the 3.5 monster manual for pathfinder is super easy to convert
26:09 As a philosopher, I dig the acknowledgment of hard determinism 👍🏼 As always, great video! Will we ever get a kirin video btw?? 🙏🏼
I'm a bit more of a Compatibilist than a Hard Determinist, but thank you! And yes! Maybe in the Year of the Celestial or maybe sooner...
Boblin the Goblin rides a Carrion Crawler into battle!
My setting magic is new to the world and ya headmaster wizard is totally making a crawler haha! You said it, it’s now head cannon lore thank you 😂
The underdark is the jurassic park of bugs
They were created by Gygax to explain why dungeons weren't filled to the brim with corpses, if I remember correctly.
Fuckin love using this guys
Hmmm I'm using Otyugs as sewercleaners in my homebrew setting, but carrion crawlers would be useful as well.
Otyughs make more sense in the sewer, they would actually eat the sewage. Catacombs are the best place to have infested by Carrion crawlers, lots of dead bodies to eat and lots of ceilings to fall from.
You guys rock!
Hes right there is no such thing as free will
I tried to explain the dungeoncast to the missis. she is a big space nerd so I said " imagine the universe, space time and physics is dungeons and dragons then Will and Brian are Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice from startalk."
I would love, if those were just a caterpillar state of some giant butterfly monster
and for living in numbers, its not that uncommon in animal kingdom. plenty of animals, from insects and spiders, to snakes and crocodilians, live in groups, and while they dont help each other directly, numbers allow them to stay safer, and sometimes happen to take down bigger pray items (even, if theyll fight over it, if there isnt enough)
Thanks.
Oh I had to fight one of these in a high school game I played
Carrion crawlers are bad, but where is the love for spiders?
Craft Cadaver
Thanks for the video guys. Do you tell us the challenge rating of these guys in the stats. I just thought it would be useful as a dm.
We usually do. i thought we talked about this guy being a CR2 but maybe I misremember.
I have liked and commented! I continue to serve the creepy crawly dungeoncast!
Bleck! Get those damn things away from me! I hate bugs. Need to smite every one I see. I dread to say it, but I dont even want knowledge of these disgusting things. I just want them dead. I've fought fomorians, demons, slimes, and all other manner of horrific creatures, but I havevto draw a line somewhere. These things are just... yuck! Apologies milords, ill see you next week when all of the bugs are gone. Im gonna go kill bandits, or something. Just as long as there aren't any crawlers. Only thing worse would be a spider...
Ok bit done, partially inspired by my own hate of bugs, haha,
Will, just wanna say during that section where you were talking about playing a ranger who really leans in on the monster stuff. Taking stuff from monsters and making new stuff out of it to hunt other monsters. You guys basically just described monster hunter. Kill a monster to make armor amd weapons out of it so you can hunt bigger monsters and then turn them into armor and weapons so you can hunt even bigger monsters and it just keeps going like that in a loop.
Loved the mention of the ghouls from the witcher 3. Such a great game. Anyway thats a really important thing for writers to think about, how do monsters amd creatures react to what humans do? In this case battlefields. Its a cool concept that just helps bring a world alive.
Boo, I changed shifts so now I have to wait like 4 more hours to watch the new episode
First 100 woop!
