Ridiculously, as time runs out, PHoD attempts YET MORE Rubbish Athas Creatures...

However, having done a pile of Dray, the realization struck me that their GodKing is, essentially, a whacking, dirty great Undead Animal!
And as we all know, PHoD can't leave Undead Animals alone for more than ten seconds without foaming at the mouth and falling over. In fact, it is quite possible that PHoD IS, in fact, an Undead Animal.

Thus, hheeeeeerre's Dregoth!

OK, so basically it's just the HotU Dracolich we've all seen a billion times before.
I just retextured it to look disgustingly rancid and hit its emitters with bricks so it has Dregoth's green eyes.
Beyond that, the Manual stated that Dregoth has assorted arcane jewellery with which he focuses his filthy, malignant psionic powers and so forth. So I hastily nailed some chunky bracelets and pendant things on him.

I'm not sure whether they look more like pale gold metal or weathered, yellowy bone... You can pretend they're whichever you think more suitable.
All jewellery comes lovingly embossed with Official Twisted Sinister Fiend hieroglyphs and Arcane Evilist symbols full of swirls and blobs, signifying - nothing.

But what's it all for, this lumpy jewellery? Apparently one of its main functions is to allow Dregoth to disguise his true, disgusting Undead Animal form and appear to his subjects as a "tall, regal Dray". In other words, he completely misleads and deceives the population he supposedly leads.
Hm. He's a typical politician then...

So now you also get the reeking, mendacious Undead Animal in Dray Lord guise as well. I made my Gen.2 Dray model a bit taller, added more horns and spikes on the head, made the eyes gleaming green for the sake of continuity, attached some rubbish robe things and threw a bucket of gold paint over him...
Well, "tall, regal Dray" wasn't much of a description to work from, you have to admit.

Draygoth28, Valthrendir and PHOD; Your work is amazing, Thanks for all of your great stuff!



The widow’s knife: Named for a similar-looking harvesting tool used in the verdant belts, this weapon has a wide blade on one end of a wood or an ivory handle. Hidden within the handle are two spring-loaded prongs. These weapons are often decorated ornately and can sometimes cost hundreds of ceramics.The widow’s knife can also be thrown as a missile weapon.

I have made a melee version and a throwing version. For the melee version I have chosen the dagger, just only because the weapon have the word "knife" in their name, and have a relatively small size; for the throwing version I have chosen the dart because it have the same base damage than the dagger.

This month is so awesome.

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

Though the so-called "Rose of Aradanth" (the first Crystal Spider, earlier in the thread) is necessary for my Modules as it stands, I've hastily messed around with some non-pink variants...

I decided I needed a dark one - very smooth and glassy - as well as a pale one for Demoness Tales... Also made a sandy one with a slightly rougher, granier feel that looks as if it's trying to camouflage itself for a desert...



Which is better for Athas? Or should I just throw both in?

Damn, every time I think I've got the 2da done, there's some other creature oozing about loose...

How many days does December have? It's got 35 days, right? Even 40...

(I like those Elf heads, by the way, Shem... I can see uses for those).

@PLUSH HYENA of DOOM:

Many thanks for the new texture alternatives of the crystal spiders. I love both of them, so please add all of them.

BTW: I really like the runes or arcane Symbols that you have included in Dregoth's "jewelry". ¿Are they based on something?

Note: If some one is able to have metallic jewelry in Athas, those are the Dragon-kings...

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

According to the Manual, most of the Dray Templars seem to have metal weapons too, so they've presumably got access to mines or something that nobody else can get near.

(As to the runes, they're not specifically anything, so far as I know... The design in the middle of the pendant/amulet thing is just BioWare's big, red "Floor Design" Placeable (or rather, its texture), only made smaller and black and stuck on a pendant).

Dregoth, both of him, will definitely have to be the last Athas Creature I do - properly, definitely, really this time. Time's kind've run out.

Now giving all Creatures last minute tests in combat, adjusting a few attack distances, making sure they work with shadows on and all that sort of thing...
I forgot all about the Athas Skybox despite it sitting there like a filthy great sky on my Desert Test Area, so it's still just a single texture, no day/night transitions. Sorry about that. Got too carried away with Creatures.
AND I completely forgot Portraits, so I'm hitting some with a big brick really hastily, so don't expect too much of them.

(Will include both the above Crystal Spiders).

[Shemsu-Heru]

Thanks for all of your wonderful stuff PHOD.



The dejada is a weapon "similar" to a sling but more powerful...

Dang, people.  That's a lot of stuff.  You're really going to make me work to put it all together this month, aren't you?

2 days left, folks.  What more can be done?

[Wall3T]

i have to admit dark sun was a theme that has been on the list for a long time

<muttering something...>

Had some very drastic and alarming last-minute problems (that puzzle me immensely), but the Skyfish is working ingame.

Now for the portrait and to wrap up the vfx...

Ey guys!

I recently discovered a good hak in the vault about the ceramic coins of Athas! (among others)

You can use my sand storm visual/placables if you want.

Nice fish Rolo

Wrist razors consist of a trio of blades that protrude from a heavy arm band. The razors project out over the back of the hand, and are extremely sharp, and also can be up to 6 inches in length. Wrist razors can be worn on both forearms.



I have add this like kamas. Because the weapon it's quite close to "the tigers claws", a weapon described in "gods and demigods" 3E manual. According to this manual a monk who use tigers claws have the same benefits, that they would have without weapons. Well the only weapon with those characteristics in NWN is the kama. Also another HAK of claw weapons, which is in the vault, had added those like kamas....

[Empyre65]

To me, the Widow's Knife looks more like an hand axe / throwing axe than a dagger / dart.
You guys are doing a fantastic job, and I am looking forward to seeing a mod that uses this stuff.

In fact i had thought in the hand and throwing axes, and also in the sickle, because it's said that the weapon derived from a harvest tool; Finally I chose the dart and the dagger because of the word "Knife" in the weapon's name.
However you are right, and the weapon looks more like a small axe than any other thing; because of that I have made an alternative versión of the widow's knife as hand and throwing axes...

[Valthrendir]

I just sent my esperweed and mekillot ram in as submissions. Although the ram is reluctant to block camera movement, it functions as intended for the most part. A sneak peek below:

[The Amethyst Dragon]

So, let me get this straight.  Two days before the stuff is due, and only Mecheon and some professional crastinator named "The Amethyst Dragon" (who's barely started his work on some obsidian spheres) haven't sent in their stuff?

Nice work, y'all. :happy:

[Mecheon]

Pfff, I sent you that fixed diamond golem, y'know I'm alive

I'm seeing if I can fanangle some surprises up last minute. Even if I fail I'm gonna keep this thing I've created around anyway and work on it for a while because its working surprisingly well on the giant lizard format despite not actually being a giant lizard

[Shemsu-Heru]

@ The Amethyst Dragon:
I have sent you all of my content yesterday at night....

This challenge has been incredible, far far beyond from any expectation that I could have had. I want to thank to every builder that have contributed; But I'm not thanking you because I'm the guy who had suggested this topic; I'm thanking you because Dark Sun Really deserved a great challenge like this.

So Thank you very much!!!

And happy 2014 to everybody!

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

I've just realized it's actually over.
No more irresponsible going back to the Manual List and choosing a new creature to hit with a brick... Sad, as I've really enjoyed this month despite never having heard of Dark Sun before.

On the other hand, I'm now eagerly looking forward to getting my hands on Shem's weapons, testing those Crodlu of Draygoth's and seeing how Mecheon's Kirre comes out (or if the FD makes an appearance)...
Also pondering how best to employ a Comedic Aerial Piscine - but Rolo, seriously, a Flying Hogfish? I've never seen a Flying Hogfish... A Gliding Hogfish, perhaps, but not flying, not actually flying...

Wow, amazing stuff guys! One of the best months to date!

[3RavensMore]

Really fine work this month. Everything is just spectacular. And happy 2014 everyone! Who'd have thought that NWN would still be going after...is it 12 years now?

[Mecheon]

Mine'll be a bit late. I'm gonna give the Drake and my secret project a once over once my legs regain feeling again
