3-31 A Storeroom, A Watchroom

 

This oddly broad room looks like it was once used for storage, with wooden shelves lining the walls to either side. Although nothing now remains on the shelves, they are still sturdy and might be used again.

• This room could be useful as a quest target.

Monsters: 4 bugbears (spear, shield)

Treasure: Personal (gear plus 2d4 ep each)

3-30 A Room with Benches

 

This quiet chamber has stone benches lining the walls, providing a place to rest for a moment.

Monsters  None

Treasure: None

3-29 The Cross Juncture

Monsters: 6 bugbears (sword, shield)

Treasure: Personal (gear plus 2d4 ep each)

3-28 The Pit

 

A curtain separates this side room from the hall it is immediately adjacent to. It is a simple room with an open pit in the floor, that drops down into the darkness below.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

3-27 Brainbash Brothers

 

A large but otherwise simple room, there are four elegant columns, one in each of the corners. Two large tables are set out in the center of the room, along with associated benches, giving the impression of a mess hall. This place has likely seen better days, as it is currently littered with garbage.

• This is where the Brainbash Brothers live. They are unruly and of violent temperament. They are willing to work for intruders who offer to hire them, but are just as likely to rob anyone who comes into their sight.

Monsters: Brainbash Brothers (2 bugbear,s max hp, armed with two-handed swords), 4 normal bugbears (spear and shield)

Treasure: 4000 cp, 2000 ep, 4 gems (10 gp, 100 gp x2, 500 gp), personal gear

3-26 Curtained Niche

 

Curtains line the east and west walls of this room. Black and red, in a similar manner to other curtains found in these upper levels, the fabric is set out from the wall just enough to potentially provide a hiding spot.

• These curtains may allow any character to hide behind them with a certain degree of success, but the fact that they can hide someone is obvious to anyone who looks at them.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

3-25 A Resting Chamber

 

This room has a series of stone benches along the outer wall. Each wall is decorated with murals depicting the interior of a cozy inn, complete with hearth and windows onto some fictional garden.

• There are initially a group of bugbears resting here.

Monsters: 4 bugbears (spear, shield)

Treasure: Personal (gear plus 2d4 ep each)

3-24 A Hall of Pillars and Statues

 

This hall has been lushly appointed. The walls are hung with tapestries depicting images of beautiful gardens and forests. Surrounded by columns in the center of the room is a mass of pillows, surrounding a low, round table. To the sides of the room, statues of various sorts have been pushed and stacked, mostly a scattering of bugbears and a few rats.

• This is the lair of Trieste. She spends most of her time in this chamber, and is usually lounging within the middle. She wears a veil most times, and will not immediately attack unless threatened, being curious over what has brought the adventurers in. She will admire and be friendly with charismatic party members, and may express interest in them, but she is both demanding and unstable, so this may not last long.
• If threatened, she will call two gargoyles who are hiding among the various statues in the room to her defense. In desperate times, she will use her potions to her benefit.

Monsters: Trieste (Longbow, 20 poisoned arrows (save or die after 1 turn/10 rounds), longsword), 2 gargoyles

Treasure: 8000 ep, 5000 gp, 3000 pp, potion of invisibility, potion of speed, scroll (hold portal, levitate), chainmail +2 (usually not worn, but will don it if she has clear warning people are coming to kill her), wand of fear (13 charges)

3-23 Watchful Gaze

• The statues alert Trieste to anyone who goes through, and allow her to look through their eyes to get a view of any travelers.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

3-22 Guards of Stone

This small juncture room houses a pair of hideous looking winged statues, perched upon a small raised ledge along the southern wall. They face the north corridor.

Monsters: 2 gargoyles

Treasure: None

2-21 Stairs into the Depths

• The stairs descend to level 4.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

3-20 Odd Columned Room

 

This oddly shaped room has seen multiple changes in its structure over the years, as evidenced by the worn and scarred stone floor. The columns which stretch to the ceiling far above are elegant and well preserved, while the walls are painted to resemble ivy crawling up fine masonry.

• The first time this room is entered on any particular expedition, make an immediate encounter check.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

3-19 The Knight's Spear

 

In the center of this room, there is a statue of an armored elven warrior, dressed in the armaments of another age. In his stone hands, he holds a very real spear of high quality.

• If the spear is taken from the statue's hands, the four doors surrounding the room seal shut, and it begins to fill with a gas. Characters must hold their breath, or make a save vs. poison each round the gas is inhaled. A failed save will inflict 1d4 damage. This must be repeated each round. The doors will remain sealed until either one of the doors is forced open, or something resembling the spear is placed back into the statue's hands. Any spear, polearm, or staff will do. The gas will take 2d4 minutes to dissipate once the doors are opened.
• Once sealed, a given door in this room requires a combined strength of 30 to open. Up to two characters may try at any given door, unless reasonable justification is given to allow for more (a ram, a long prybar, etc). A knock spell will also work.

Monsters: None

Treasure: Spear +1 (in statue's hands)

3-18 The West Buffer Room

 This was once some sort of meeting room. There are scuff marks on the floor where benches or pews used to rest on the stone, but they have long been removed. The walls are covered with the ruins of a plaster underlayer that once backed mosaics. The mosaics themselves have long been removed.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

Monsters: 4 bandits (sword, shield, leather armor), 6 giant rats

Treasure: Personal (gear plus 2d4 ep each bandit)

3-16 The Alchemist's Laboratory

This room was actually once a series of rooms, linked by a row of archways down the middle.

Monsters: 8 Giant Rats, 2 in each section.

Treasure: None

Whatever this room once was, it has been used as a camp in the recent past. A few cots still rest against the walls, and there are iron spikes scattered near the doors, having once been used to jam them shut.
