...SO BELOW PART II: ASTRAL WAYLAYERS
While still astral in nature, these "waylayers" are somewhat leaning earthbound in a way that is less planar than their counterparts dwelling "above".
ASTRAG (Starry Lady)
NO. APPEARING: 5-6
ARMOR CLASS: 2
MOVE: 12”/24” (MC: B)
HIT DICE: 2
% IN LAIR: 0%
TREASURE TYPE: D
NO. OF ATTACKS: 1
SPECIAL ATTACKS : See below
SPECIAL DEFENSES: Nil
MAGIC RESISTANCE: Standard
DAMAGE/ATTACK: See below
INTELLIGENCE: Average
ALIGNMENT: Neutral evil
SIZE: M
PSlONIC ABILITY: Nil
Attack/defense modes: Nil
X.P. VALUE: 65/+2/hp
Distantly related to dungeon sirens, these undead monsters appear only on very clear nights when the stars are bright. They appear as the outline of beautiful women. They will attack if approached within 15 feet. They magnify the light of the stars to give off the energy of suns. The effect is equivalent to a 6d6 fireball with a 30-foot diameter blast radius.
HALL CRAWLER
FREQUENCY: Rare
NO. APPEARING: 1
ARMOR CLASS: 4
MOVE: 3”
HIT DICE: 4
% IN LAIR: Nil
TREASURE TYPE: A
NO. OF ATTACKS: 6 per 10 feet area
SPECIAL ATTACKS: See below
SPECIAL DEFENSES: Nil
MAGIC RESISTANCE: Standard
DAMAGE/ATTACK: See below
INTELLIGENCE: Low
ALIGNMENT: Chaotic (evil)
SIZE: L (100 feet long)
PSlONIC ABILITY: Nil
Attack/defense
modes: Nil
X.P. VALUE: 4550 + 16/hp
The mouth of the hall crawler appears
like a dungeon entrance with a demonic mouth. Any character unlucky enough to
get in the mouth past 20 feet will be sprayed by acid from the “ceiling.” This
acid attack inflicts 8-32 points of damage (save versus death for half damage).
They can move into the Astral Plane in 1 turn if left alone. They search
for dungeons that are not too desolate to feed. They prefer lawful targets.
MOON WOLF (Canis Lunus)
FREQUENCY: Rare
NO. APPEARING: 5-20
ARMOR CLASS: 6
MOVE: 18”/18” (In moonbeam; see
below)
HIT DICE: 5
% IN LAIR: 5%
TREASURE TYPE: B
NO. OF ATTACKS: 1
SPECIAL ATTACKS: Surprise on a 1-5
SPECIAL DEFENSES: Nil
MAGIC RESISTANCE: Standard
DAMAGE/ATTACK: 2-8
INTELLIGENCE: Low
ALIGNMENT: Lawful evil
SIZE: L
PSlONIC ABILITY: Nil
Attack/defense
modes: Nil
X.P. VALUE: 85+4/hp
This strange wolf attacks in packs but never alone. They will appear on moonlit nights and can run in the air wherever there is light from the moon. Because these creatures are on the verge of the Astral Plane they can see into the Astral or Prime Material Plane. When they appear in the Prime Material Plane (or Astral, rarely), they appear as a beam of light coming from the moon with wolves running down to attack. If they retreat into the moonbeam and are followed, the pursuers may become stuck in the verge of the Astral Plane unless they have spells. They can also slay the wolves which will temporarily open a gate back to the Prime Material Plane.

AS ABOVE... PART TWO: ASTRAL WAYLAYERS
This series always comes in two parts: AS ABOVE... (Planes) mirrored by ...SO BELOW (Earth). This particular set has to do with the Astral plane so the earthbound monsters will be more planar than usual.
The
Astral Plane is a highway to the beyond. Like any highway, it has its
share of “highwaymen.” (Most of the following beings have no relation to each
other but are loosely grouped under this heading for convenience.)
MINE MAIDEN (Dungeon Siren)
FREQUENCY: Rare
ARMOR CLASS: 5
HIT DICE: 5
% IN LAIR: 5%
NO. APPEARING: 1-3
MOVE: 12 feet/36 feet
TREASURE TYPE: Z
NO. OF ATTACKS: 3
SPECIAL ATTACKS : See below
SPECIAL DEFENSES: Nil
MAGIC RESISTANCE: 30%
DAMAGE/ATTACK: 1-3/1-3/1-4 or by weapon
INTELLIGENCE: Average
ALIGNMENT: Neutral evil
SIZE: M
PSlONIC ABILITY: 100
Attack/defense modes: C, E/F, G
X.P. VALUE: 280 + 5/hp
These creatures appear as beautiful women and may be distantly related to nymphs. Although fairy-like in form they are of darkest evil. They originate from planes of evil but they are seldom found there. They are abroad usually in the prima materia and lead the unwary to their doom, lost in the Astral Plane. They are found in the darkest places of the earth like caverns, dungeons, mines, rifts, sewers, and sometimes in the deepest waters of the blackest seas.
They
are golden-haired and are of unearthly beauty. When they first appear they are
aglow in a shaft of golden solar radiance emanating from what appears to be a
clear path to the outside world. This path is a portal to the Astral Plane.
The light is produced by an astral phenomenon known as a “death door,” which is
usually “guarded“ by other beings (see apollyon q.v. or other death-type
creatures). These beings can only open these “death doors” in the darkest
places, mentioned above, because of the scarcity of living beings in these
areas, hence the lack of security. The mine maidens dance and frolic gaily,
throwing petals at and around the victim. If any petals touch the skin of the
victim they must save versus spells or be enchanted with a false sense of
rejuvenation (wounds seem healed, ailments and disease seem cured, quests
fulfilled, worries melting away, etc.). When the victim enters the door the
maidens seem to catch them from falling into an endless sea of stars. All the
while they are picking the victim’s pockets as a 5th level thief
with a 10% “race bonus“ (60%). Once something is procured from the victim
and/or the light of the “death door” goes out (closing and disappearing in 2-3
rounds) the victim is dropped into the endless stars. From there they may never
return. Continued resistance may result in melee. If this occurs the maidens
will reveal their true facial features as hag-like, pulling +1 daggers from
scabbards nicely disguised as a nosegay of flowers on their person.
They
can gate once per day.
HELLMOUTH (Dragon Daemon)
NO. APPEARING: 1
ARMOR CLASS: Head, tail (2); vortex body (-8)
MOVE: As per humanoid type
HIT DICE: 11
% IN LAIR: 80%
TREASURE TYPE: Nil
NO. OF ATTACKS: 1
SPECIAL ATTACKS: See below
SPECIAL DEFENSES: Nil
MAGIC RESISTANCE: 75%
DAMAGE/ATTACK: 2-20
INTELLIGENCE: Very
ALIGNMENT: Neutral evil
SIZE: L
PSlONIC ABILITY: 95
Attack/defense modes: A, D/G, H
X.P. VALUE: 4550 + 16/hp
The hellmouth, or “dragon daemon,” is an ultra-dimensional vortex to the underworld that is actually a being of the lower planes. It appears in the prima materia as a twenty-foot-high grotesque face with a gaping maw well over ten feet in height when extended. It breathes hellfire out of its mouth, targeting the hellmouth’s sole intended target. This breath weapon works similarly to the spiritwrack spell (1st save vs. spells or held, 2nd round loss of 1 hp per hit die, 3rd round the victim loses 50% of hp and is pulled into the maw of the hellmouth.). Victims taken (eaten) are channeled to whomever the creature serves, which usually is a nether being of at least “gentle” standing. The creature is usually sent by a nether lord to collect a reluctant, damned soul. This is usually “approved” by the forces of good so the hellmouth is limited in activities on terra firma. However, nothing stops it from wreaking havoc in the Astral and the various planes of the netherworld, where they hunt the unwary for sport, sending victims down to be trifled with by their current master.
The
hellmouth’s body, usually translucent, never enters prima materia. On the Astral
or the planes of the underworld it appears as a channel of negative energy that
has seemingly no end. Its “tail” permanently resides in the underworld. Those
“damned” collected by a hellmouth will be ejected from the creature’s “tail
end”. If there is activity in the vicinity of its endless body the head will
eventually know and arrive in 1-20 turns.
MOON MEN (Moon Monster)
FREQUENCY: Very Rare
NO. APPEARING: 1 or 3-30
ARMOR CLASS: 2
MOVE: 12 feet/40 feet
HIT DICE: 12
% IN LAIR: 80%
TREASURE TYPE: H, A, Z
NO. OF ATTACKS: 1
SPECIAL ATTACKS: See below
SPECIAL DEFENSES: See below
MAGIC RESISTANCE: Nil
DAMAGE/ATTACK: 4-16 or by weapon
INTELLIGENCE: Average
ALIGNMENT: Lawful evil
SIZE: L (12 feet or 50-foot diameter)
PSlONIC ABILITY: 150
Attack/defense modes: A, B, C/G, H
X.P. VALUE: 3700 + 16/hp
Moon men, also known as “moon monsters,” haunt the Astral Plane and appear there as creatures with lunar characteristics. They have two forms: one is a nightmarish crescent moon on a glistening black humanoid body, while the other a massive face on moon-like sphere. They sometimes appear in the prima materia in sphere form when the moon “contacts” the earth in a reflective surface, usually a large body of water. They often toy with sea-going vessels, sometimes bringing them to their accursed realm in the Astral. In sphere form, they project a massive sheet of darkness (100 yard radius by 1 foot thickness), blotting out the actual moon. They also project a star field of the same dimensions. They will then consternate attempts at nighttime navigation. Sometimes (5% chance) they will attempt to seize entire vessels by bringing them to the “moon.” (This effect is like a gate spell, but the “gate“ appears as a moon setting on the horizon.). In the Astral Plane, there is a mystical reflection of the actual moon. It is there that these and other entities reside: in a vast city of white that disappears and reappears piecemeal as the moon waxes and wanes. Stairs and entrances lead to nowhere during these “phases.” The more humanoid “crescent moon” form is what they prefer to “wear” in the endless swirling crescent streets of the city. They carry weaponry appearing much like lunar-patterned +3 guisarmes or +3 scimitars. Most victims will be brought to a vast arena to be eaten by various lycanthropes for the populace of moon monsters viewing pleasure or some other cruel fate.
In
addition to the above they have the following powers: detect invisibility,
detect magic, levitate, and stinking cloud.

Interview with Gene Weigel from September 2021 on Zock Bock Radio

CASTLE GREYHAWK MISCELLANEA
Castle Greyhawk to me is an enigma. For years reading Dragon Magazine there were these endless hints that it was coming soon and it was being worked on by him and Rob Kuntz. It was supposed to be the pinnacle of D&D gaming. The ultimate Dungeon & Dragons thing. That ended when Gary Gygax the legendary creative genius behind the D&D game was removed from working on the game ever again in 1985.
Years later in the year 2000, sadly I had asked Gary Gygax direct information on Castle Greyhawk and the answer was flat out: NO WAY
Gary said to me that it was something that he was going to publish so he couldn't share it with me yet to put on my "True Greyhawk" website then known as "GENENKAINEN'S FAN-BASTICH ADVENTURE" which was "anti-Greyhawk establishment" and pro-Gary.
You can't talk about fans of Castle Greyhawk without sludging through the terrible history of Castle Greyhawk. This is the truth but only from my own perspective as a player of TSR products not necessarily the views of any of the people involved.
I AM A FAN ONLY. An E. Gary Gygax fan. Ultimate fan? I don't think so but I'll try...
There were already published versions of Castle Greyhawk that were made without Gary Gygax's consent. One was called WG7 CASTLE GREYHAWK (1987) which I viewed as an all out attack on D&D fans by the Buck Rogers' people that technically "owned" TSR but had no clue as to what they stole. The presentation was crude as if former employee Gary and his Greyhawk crap was a joke. The backlash of WG7 ripped through gaming universe as a total cancellation of Greyhawk fans, at least to those who were paying attention like myself, so the new "Buck Rogers TSR" corporation scrambled to make an apology version which they published in 1990 as WGR1 GREYHAWK RUINS. It was too little too late and the feeling hung low. Greyhawk fandom continued like an abused person in a loveless marriage for years after this. Most stuff was histories and light gazetteers as people tried to hold on to what once was.
Way later, the new owners Hasbro toys tried to republish the 1990 WGR1 as updated to their new system (3.5 edition) when Gary independently tried to publish a version of Castle Greyhawk called CASTLE ZAGYG. With Gary falling ill the production slowed then its release was limited then cancelled by his estate after his passing. There was THE EASTMARK GAZETTEER (2007) and THE UPPER WORKS (2008) amongst publications which are hard to find because of the debacle. It is a really sore subject to many of the people that worked on it (Recently, I saw how hurtful this was to them.) and they and the publishers, Troll Lord Games, Gary liked working with TLG a lot, should get appreciated for that.
Alright that wasn't so bad... Internet reaction: ((((KABOOOOOMMM!!!!)))) Ouch! ;)
Seriously, the void of Castle Greyhawk has made me ponder from time to time in creative images and notes, as a fan of Castle Greyhawk, imagined what Castle Greyhawk might be like but in a very light way so that some lawyer doesn't break my spine... ;)
Someone said they had a photo of Gary playing the first level of Castle Greyhawk so I looked at it intensely then I made this map and later numbered it.
I then speculated about the history based on crap that I heard from Gary (Gygax) and Rob (Kuntz) so I tried to assemble what they were talking about by stacking the levels simply to imagine how big this dungeon was:
Then it was too simple because there were extra legendary levels. So I made an infographic as to what the levels were to the first 1974 levels:
Then I had wondered how this compared to the 2007 CASTLE ZAGYG layout they openly spoke of:
Then the last thing that I was looking at was using known sizes and basing it on the information from the Greyhawk Adventures/ Gord the Rogue 1987 story "HEART OF DARKNESS", in the anthology of short Gord Stories NIGHT ARRANT, when Gord went to Castle Greyhawk and paced his way in mentioning the sizes. So I made a 3D view of perhaps the first few dungeon are within the shell of the castle with the 13 levels from the 1974 version:
To further since I was never going to get a key of anything I had made a speculative view of what the random encounters would look like in Castle Greyhawk based on the original D&D random encounter charts. With the monsters that weren't included in the charts (Level dependent?) at the end:
CASTLE GREYHAWK WANDERING ENCOUNTER SPECULATION
RED = REMOVED FROM GREYHAWK
SUPPLEMENT
BLUE = REARRANGED IN GREYHAWK
SUPPLEMENT
GREEN = ADDED TO GREYHAWK
SUPPLEMENT
VIOLET= ELABORATED ON IN GREYHAWK

....SO BELOW Part One B: THE PROFANER CLASS
A profaner, Nymus the Rash, wearing the symbol of the Anti-Demon (cf.), cornered in the Dungeons of Skulldon and casting the 1st level profaner alteration spell mechanical fists.
PROFANER
class
(Swordlands
name: FICCUID “FICK-WIT”)
The
profaner is a sub-class of cleric. They are a little known counter
class to the druids. Whereas a druid views a world of balancing
forces, the bizarre profaner purview is a “neutrality” of
righteous carnage with no regard for the outcome. The profaners are
prosuburbs (non-farming) and pro-fringe (rundown) society as an
ideal. Although, a “what will be will be” view is never taken as
they are almost always on a collision course with themselves and the
world in their constant activity of “poking the dragon”. This
doesn’t make them unwise rather the average profaner is more
tactical than most classes due to this philosophy of action. Where
the druid helps, profaners instead will counter sometimes directly
seeming evil but its usually to reserve for a bigger picture. They
have their own set of abilities and spells which are somewhere
between cleric, druid and magic-user. Note: While profaners seem
anti-demihuman, they are not and will employ any nonhuman race with
the exception of support while planar traveling to humanless voids
(See below under spell casting time).
To
become a profaner, a character absolutely must be human (With no room
for subclass adaptation as the “magic” partly stems from the aura
of humanity.). They must have a minimum wisdom of 15. They also must
be very persuasive and have a charisma of 17. If both exceed 17 (18
or over) it adds 10% experience.
The
styling of their spells is very antagonistic of druids often
garnering the name “anti-druids” in addition to other colorful
pejoratives (Druids call them “f*ckwits” in the Swordlands.
Mocking the name that they call themselves: The Ficcuids. This term
means falsifier and is pronounced FICK-WIT. The term falsifier comes
from their anti-druidic sentiments whereas druids were called
speakers of the truth.). In urban centers, they are called profaners,
as they don’t fit in with the cult edifices of the temple
districts, often being found on the edges of metropolitan areas where
they meet near farming communities.
As
they are different from clerics and druids they have far different
standards of gear. The only armor they are allowed to wear is
chainmail (“purified” in a 10 hour rite) with no shield and their
weaponry must match magic-user’s weapon proficiencies (dagger, dart
& staff [UA: also caltrop, knife,& sling.]).
They
can use oil and poison (poison use dependent on campaign).
They,
like druids, have certain innate abilities unique to the class.
At
1st level:
Sense
Non-Neutrals – This gives them a slight feeling that someone is not
of neutral alignments
At
2nd level:
Sense
Chaos, Evil, Good or Law – This gives the profaner a slight feeling
if someone is leaning towards any of those alignments.
Morale
Boost – They add 1% to their reaction adjustment every level
At
3rd level:
Detect
Exact Alignment - Once per day
At
9th level:
Flesh
Golem Form - The profaner can change into a flesh golem. In this
shape, their hp remain the same but everything else is as monster.
At
11th level
Clay
Golem Form - The profaner can change into a clay golem. In this
shape, their hp remain the same but everything else is as monster.
At
14th level:
Stone
Golem Form - The profaner can change into a stone golem. In this
shape, their hp remain the same but everything else is as monster.
At
18th level:
Iron
Golem Form - The profaner can change into a iron golem. In this
shape, their hp remain the same but everything else is as monster.
Profaners
never speak the languages of nonhumans and favor human languages.
They have no secret language and prefer public speaking. Because of
this hardheadedness, every 2 levels they gain knowledge of a new
human language.
They
fight and save as clerics.
They
can use magic items allowed for all classes and specifically those
for clerics that are not written magic. They are forbidden to touch
druid items and vise versa. They can create magic items like clerics
and druids.
Unlike
druids, they can go up in level unlimited. Upon reaching 20th
they are automatically a leader of their faith but leaders can be any
level.
They
attract followers as a cleric does but they do not develop any
constructed temples often having ceremonies in cave complexes or
sometimes in the old warehouses of outer wards of cities. Emphasis is
usually on garb depicting neutral deities.
Where
there is a question they usually follow the guidelines for clerics
(and druids), however, unlike those they can drift off their
alignment for up to a week. If they do not turn back at the end of
the week to Neutral then they lose all function except HD and weapon
knowledge.

The profaner casts this spell to gain construction materials and/or

nicely milled boards. The profaner creates a number of “board feet”
(1 inch thick and 1 foot square) based on the number of logs yielded
from the tree. This is easily reckoned by the chart below (based on
real world international measurements). First roll D20 for the
diameter of the tree at breast height (DBH) and then roll D8 to see
log yield. Trees with known specific sizes must be DM’s judgement.
Included
here for reference is a converted to a random chart version (citation
included) of the international ¼ inch rule chart for # of boards
yielded from a log (Hint if too “numbery” for you just completely
ignore and make it up):

Explanation/Description:
This spell allows the profaner to communicate with the animus of a
place. That is the collected impressions of a known area get a kind
of intelligence to it. This “intelligence” is very limited and
its mostly hearing the echo of someone referring to the place.
However there is a second factor to this spell, if a place of human
activity has a story or depiction of it anthropomorphized then it
gains a viable personality intelligence based on how many years its
been considered to feel alive by humans. For every generation (of 25
years) of human activity in and around the area that has a
descriptive depiction, the area gains 1 point of intelligence. This
lingering spirit will sometimes come across as a feeling but with
this spell it can talk possibly for the first time:

This spell is not the same as other forms of Dispel Magic, When

A
dispel innate magic, like other forms of dispel magic,
will not affect a specially enchanted item such as a scroll, magic
ring, wand, rod, staff, miscellaneous magic item, magic weapon, magic
shield, or magic armor, but unlike other versions will not affect
magic potions or remove spells cast upon persons or objects, or
counter
the casting of spells in the area of effect.
Dispel
innate magic counters spell-like abilities in the area of effect.
The base chance of success is 100% if the creature has magic
resistance then subtract the magic resistance making the remainder
its chance of innate spell failure (example: a creature such as a
satyr with 50% magic resistance would be 100%-50%=50% making their
ability to play a pipe and cause fear, charm or sleep a 50% chance
with each attempt. Note: the satyr gets his normal chance of magic
resistance as usual to prevent this all from happening.).
