GARY GYGAX Q&A PART X

I know Luke took over the character Otis, which is where Otiluke comes from. In the original adventure
[ToEE] there was no Elmo. In his place there was Otis. Gary let Luke take him over, and he adventured
quite a bit. Burne (originally Berne) never came up when I was talking to Ernie, so I don't know if he went
on to adventure after the ToEE campaign ended, thanks to our gracious host. [RJK]

The city was vital and integral to the campaign. Gary rendered one map for it which would now be Old
City, by comparison), and when I came on board we did three more 8x11's

aligned as in the simple graphic above.

The castle was but a few miles NE of the City as we pictured it, though we never then drew an environs
map for it, but we knew where it was, as we knew where the Temple to the Latter Day Old Ones was, about
half way to the Castle along the same path from the city, and beneath ground, also accessible by the sewers,
which I later drew.

Lots of adventure in the City. Robilar, Tenser, Terik and others had fantastic times in it, and some of these
adventures are recounted by EGG in DRAGON (Up on a Soap Box)
and elsewhere, and I have recounted some.

Murlynd's (Don Kaye's) PC was housed there, Robilar had his Green Dragon Inn there, Serten (Ernie
Gygax's priest-henchman of Tenser's) was killed there by Tom Champeny's Evil High Priest, the Striped
Mage got his secondary name through my brother's PC "the Monk With No Name" painting his tower as
such, Robilar initially adventured in Strange Way and Odd Alley there, getting totally lost, etc. [RJK]

Lucky you never ran into Quij and his forces who operated in that area [The Pomarj] after the sacking of
Robilar's castle. [RJK] http://piedpiperpublishing.yuku.com/topic/2045

[Did any of your characters have run-ins with the Thieves Guild of Greyhawk, or problems with the
Watch?]

Nope none that I recall. [RJK] http://piedpiperpublishing.yuku.com/topic/2045

[What was the name of Tom Champeny's EHP?]

To my knowledge never named, but I do refer to him in a current work in progress as the EHP, Tecee.

[What were the circumstances of his slaying Serten?]

Upon returning from a group outdoor adventure , Tom's PC sought Serten's "advice" on a
personal matter and turned evil casting a finger of death upon him, stealing his snake staff
and +2 armor and then fleeing the City. [RJK] http://piedpiperpublishing.yuku.com/topic/2045

[Did any adventurers ever explore the sewers, or use the sewers to go between the city and the Temple of
the Latter Day Old Ones?]

Jim Ward's and my bro's PCs both entered the secret Temple, but by the stump, not the sewers. Eric Shook's
PC entered the sewers but never made it to the Temple. [RJK]
