Morta Dungeon
Deep below the Morta Mountain, Morta dungeon is home to multiple monstrosities, and mystical knowledge. One of the stronger creatures here is the Spectator, created from a Beholder Adventurer when he was hiding his riches inside of the dungeon. The dungeon has 4 layers, the first one being filled with carvings from long forgotten Military group , the second being home to a Drider who commands an army of spiders, thirdly being home to a forest of mushrooms, a large amount of followers of Zuggtomy reside here. Finally, is a safehouse of frightened monsters from humanoids, and adventurers, such as Kobolds, Oozes, Ogres, Spectators and even a Wyvern. The first layer is designed for Level 2 adventurers, whilst the 2nd is for 4th levels. The same goes for the Third Layer and then 5th Level for the final layer.
There are many traps hidden on this dungeon, most being on the first floor as there are no creatures residing here to anyone's knowledge. The traps are;
- A set of 2 walls that lock people in a trap that slowly fills with water for 2 minutes, drowning any small creatures
- A large spiked pit with a hanging piece of rope, but when a creature weighing more than 190lbs swings across, the rope extends and instead of swinging to the other it, it'd swing into the wall below it.
- A cage that drops onto anyone who stands on a pressure plate, which has barbed wire wrapped around it.
As well as many more. The first floor also has a few constructs roaming around, however there is said to be a Minotaur that destroyed them long ago, and enjoys testing out new traps, such as spiked floors, acidic pits, or even reanimated monsters.
The second floor has been coated by webs, and is a resort for Phase Spiders, where a Drider keeps them safe. Unlike most Drow turned Drider, this one chose to become more Spider-Like. She has began to work on creating more space for her spider-kin, and with it comes some Dust Mephits.
The third floor is filled with a large amount of mushrooms, and is home to Fungi, Myconids and even demons. They are all followers of a Demon Lord called Zuggtomy, and she has power over most fungi. There is a large prison where creatures have been held and are being turned into fungal servants.
The final layer is the most dangerous, as all of the monsters there are aligned in a group. They all care for one another, and their leader is a Gauth, who is currently training a Wyvern with their ally, a Tlincalli Mercenary. They don't do much more than live in solitude, but they are known to make up stories.
