I’m prepping next session in my multi genre gonzo game and they’ll be doing a dungeon crawl through the sewers of an important city. What could be some cool encounters or plot hooks that could be found down there?

Depending how “out there” your world is, what about the classic mutated reptile? Perhaps a mutant crocodile, or maybe evidence of reptile people living down there?

There has to be some larger space that has been occupied by a secretive group of thieves or assassins. They won’t take kindly to their lair being found. This sort of encounter sets up a couple nice battles, a few choice loot opportunities, and a potential recurring enemy down the road, as members in the “network” may track down the party at any time. This encounter might also lead to a new quest line: “omg, they have plans for killing the king’s eldest son at the new year’s feast. We have to stop this!”

Some ideas
- A group of voices can be heard singing/humming and echo through the tunnels.
- Bloodied labors toil as a relentless overseer commands them to hurry.
- an unusually cold area. icy water and frozen corridors.
- a vault door that’s been opened by force. inside is a magic summoning/teleport circle
- Goblin-Beaver hybrids that give off an eerie glow
- The ghost of an octopus with an inky aura of decay
- Sewer Sphinx that spews toxic waste
- Undead Frog-folk
