[PnP] Dumb Questions concerning P&P at 1 am in the morning

As it is one in the morning here, a series of dumb questions come to my mind
...
a) considering the discussion on what mages and how many mages should be in
the party...what would be a good "party" make up for a P&P GM and a new
group that's never played the game before? Possibly using the adventure
Country Mordara as an example.
b) concerning Perilous Lands, the Dark City...there's the cutout of the
city on page 3. Is each horizontal line a level of the city or would there
be sublevels that continue downward until you reach the Eye? I've always
been intrigued by the City but not wholely sure how and what way I should
develop it beyond what is in the campaign boxset already.
c) maybe it is my mind at 1 in the morning, but (and this may be a twisted
mind set of a thought) is it just me or does the P&P world setting kind of
resemble that of John Norman's Gor novels more than, say, the Lord of the
Rings kind of worldsetting? Just me but it just seemed to have a rougher,
more Babylonian or Greek setting mixture than King Arthur's kind of world
setting.
Again, dumb questions...what do you think? lol

> * Normally these are solitary creatures unless they are

> area they may fight since they are territorial. However,
> if prey is found they will seek prey first than fight.
>
> Appearance - These aquatic creatures are round like a puff
> fish. They have tiny fins but a fat round body that is
> the size of a human's adult head. Their eyes are dark
> red in hue but do not glow. The skin is pure black so
> they blend in well with the dark waters. Their mouth is
> round with razor sharp teeth and a pink tongue that laps
> up the blood of its victim. Around the rim of the mouth
> are suckers.
>
> Special - These are aquatic vampiric creatures. Their
> eyes can detect at a range of about 20 feet prey that
> is hot and thus full of blood. They will quietly approach
> and attach themselves to the target to feed on. They will
> have a base 50% chance of attaching to the prey on the first
> round. If they do the first bite will allow it to attach
> with strength onto its prey. The suckers on the rim of its
> mouth give a solution that further tightens the hold and
> prevents massive blood loss other than what it needs to
> feed on. The first bite will do 1D3 hit points of physical
> damage to the target. The Bloodsucker will then suck drain
> 1D6 Energy Level points per phase up to 36 Energy Level
> max if its hungry. Once it releases its contact to the target
> it will begin to float or swim away. The round body is full
> of bladders that take the blood and it can live up to 3 days
> off this blood alone. There is a 20% chance the target will
> get a Debilitating BL3 Poison. If so reduce 6 points from
> Energy Level, Strength and Stamina for 3 days. If Energy
> Level is 0 the target will die.
> This animal is distasteful to other animals that try to
> attack it. Once swallowed by large fish like sharks the
> animal will try to reject it in some way if it hasn't already
> killed the bloodsucker. In order to remove these creatures
> from a person a Strength x 2 roll must be made. One attempt
> can be made per phase. If a weapon is used that can pry the
> creature off then Strength x 3 is made. If the creature is
> killed the Bloodsucker may still be attached. In this case
> the attachment may be permanent. In this case the solution
> forms a tougher bond with the skin. It will have to be
> cut off. to cut it off will cause 1D3 more hit points to the
> target.
> These creatures tend to be found in warm oceans and rivers.
> They tend to avoid lakes, ponds and cold ocean areas. Their
> base eyesight is not that far only about 10 feet but their
> sense of heat is double that. There is a 30% chance the
> Bloodsucker is not hungry but will attach itself to the
> target for future feeding. It may stay up to 5 days like
> this until it is ready to feed. These creatures could
> attack its prey if it is attacked. In this case it will
> use its teeth in a natural weapon attack.
> The Bloodsucker is a source for a natural magic item.
> If one is caught and quickly bled out into a container
> the blood creates a poison from its natural body poison.
> It will cause the Debilitating effects above but at HALF
> the values listed. This is an unenhanced value. The
> Bloodsucker has no enhanced value.

> Crocodile Alignment - None
>
> This creature can be found mostly in river and tropical

> stepping on them or coming across their tentacles is a sure way
> to get stung by them. Each tentacle has tiny hair like barbs
> that inject a poison on their prey to paralyze them. For humans
> this is a BL 2 Paralytic Burn poison. If the poison succeeds
> it will start to affect the person's nervous system. Most stings
> can be taken by some are allergic or can be killed by them. To

> animal. They are gray in color with slight hues of
> green or browns at time. They look like any standard
> water plant about a foot tall and as wide as 1.5 feet.
> Their limbs have sharp razor like barbs which can shred
> flesh but very slowly. They are mainly used to attach
> and capture prey. Hidden in the center of the plant by
> plant growth is a small mouth which takes in parts of the
> flesh of its prey.
>
> Special - These creatures can't swim or move on their own
> aside from slight subtle limb movements which are hard to
> notice. These animals have a special sense of Clairvoyance
> which allows them to detect danger up to a minute in advance.
> If they detect danger or harm to them they will use their
> secondary special ability which is their main defense. This
> ability is a MEL2/EL1 ability to Teleport itself from one
> place to another. It does this randomly but never exits the
> water. When it teleports the roots are still in the dirt
> floor as if they never moved when they get to their new place.
> These plans inject a BL 5 draining poison on their prey.
> This will do 1D6 decrease in Strength and Stamina immediately.
> It will then do 1D3 more points to both every 2 phases until
> either Strength or Stamina is 0. At that point the animal is
> powerless and will be held by the plant. As the plan remains
> in the plant the limbs attach to the body. But the animal is
> not eaten immediately. It will begin to decay slowly. At
> this point the body breaks down. Then the limbs will actually
> move to separate flesh and move it to the mouth.
> These plans were first discovered by a Ticasi Scholar named
> Garshon exploring the seas off Fomoria. He found them interesting
> so much he spent the next 5 years studying them. The problem
> he discovered is that these plants create havoc for fishing
> villages when they enter the harbor. Swimmers and fish alike
> are sometimes attacked by these plants which causes problems
> for the local people. Once there these plants are very
> difficult to get rid of without some magic.
> These creatures have a natural magic value. If a person is
> lucky to obtain one (very hard with the teleport ability) they
> can be taken out of the water. At this point they die and begin
> to shrink in size. If the person can tear off the razor sharp
> limbs and he must keep the core body. There it can be dried.
> Once dried it should be opened to locate a small organ the size
> of a marble which is yellow in color. This organ gives it the
> teleport ability. This organ can be enhanced magically to give
> a person who wears it 2D10 Mana points for Teleport per day.
> This creature was first created by a wizard who tried to
> create evil plans as minions for his home. It backfired and
> this plant was created over 200 years ago. Since then this
> creature reproduces and has spread into all but the Northern
> cold ocean. It prefers warm waters. It was tied to the
> Balance alignment through this wizard but rituals failed and
> the gods did not favor the wizard.

> Appearance - This water creature looks like a spider that
> can be as large as 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide. But tends
> to stick to about 1 feet tall and 1 feet wide. They have
> 8 legs and a mouth with pinchers. They are flesh colored
> but spots of brown or white. While this color attracks others
> to them most animals avoid them. Inside the squat body are
> bubble like membranes that can take in water or relase it.
> This gives the animal bouyancy. These animals can go as far
> down as 300 feet before any pressure problems affect them.
> These have no fins for swimming but they use their strong legs
> to propel themselves like squid through the water. For MR
> the () value is for open water but the other figure is when
> they are on the bottom of the water or on surfaces. Same
> applies for OCV. Strong bones create a natural body armor
> on their main body but their legs have no natural armor value.
> The legs may stretch out as far as 3 feet (1D3). Their bite
> gives them the strong strength bonus.
>
> Special - These animals only stay in the water and never exit.
> They can be found in rivers, lakes and the ocean. Salt and
> temperature does not seem to affect them. The main prey of
> these animals are shell fish. They will attack any shell
> fish they see with swift and fierce speed. Their favorite
> food are turtles. These creatures have learned to get beyond
> the shell by placing a strong acid through a organ on the bottom
> of the animal onto the shell. this strong acid attaches to
> the shell and eats clean through it. It will eat through 1
> inch of shell in just 10 minutes. So a large sea turtle with
> a six inch shell takes only 1 hour. It creates a hole just
> big enough for the animal to enter the shell and eat from. In
> some cases like turtle it then enters and eats the prey. There
> is little defense for the shelled animal unless they can escape
> the shell itself. If this creature mistakes a person for
> prey it will sue its acid and bite attack. The acid can damage
> unprotected flesh by 2D6 points of damage each time the animal
> injects the acid. The animal can do create this acid 1D3 times
> a day. Once created it will continue on its own to eat through
> flesh and bone. The spider has another method to stop the acid
> from eating flesh by another body fluid it sends out to negate
> the acid. If taken out of water a person with this acid will
> gain an additional 1D3 points per phase as oxygen mixes with it
> to make it stronger. To get rid of this acid Castor D'fay is
> one of the best things to use. If none exists purified and
> blessed water mixed with some healing herbs will do it as well.
> There may be other methods not covered here. If a person is
> wearing armor or clothing it will do 1D6 points per phase
> to the damage resistance of the item.
> These creatures are dangerous due to their acid. But they
> tend to be found deep in the ocean. There is a 30% chance they
> may be found in rivers or lakes. They prefer to hunt sea turtles.
> These creatures may encounter ships and mistake them for prey.
> In this case they will attach to the hull and the acid will burn
> through it 1D6 points per phase. Once a hole is created the
> creature will enter the ship to find its prey which could end
> up to be humans. This hole may also create water breaches which
> can sink a ship as well.
