5-31 Quiet Corner

 

This chamber has a number of old wooden plaques mounted on the wall. What they once contained is unknown, as the trophies and the bronze labels have all been removed over the years.

Monsters: 2 Tuatara Lizards

Treasure: 3000 sp, 800 gp, flaming sword +1

5-30 Juncture Room

 

This large room's purpose is not exactly evident. However, the southern wall has been painted to depict a massive, purple skinned ogre reaching out of an abyss, with mouth wide and hands balled into fists.

Monsters: None

Treasure: 5000 sp, 1000 gp, 6 gems (3x 50 gp, 2x 100 gp, 500 gp)

5-29 A Pool of Mud

 

The center of this room is dominated by a shallow pool. Much like many of the pools in this complex, it is surrounded by a short stone wall, just six inches high and a foot wide. This pool's water is so muddy as to be opaque.

Monsters: Ochre Jelly (in pool)

Treasure: 5000 sp, 200 gp, 3 gems (2x 50 gp, 100 gp) (in pool)

5-28 Northern Amplifier Chamber

 

This oddly shaped chamber is an acoustic nightmare. Every sound in the room is amplified greatly, and focused toward the eastern wall.

• The amplification effect is at least partly magical. Any loud noise, shouting, or the like, is actually amplified enough that everyone in the room must make a save vs. death ray or take 2d6 damage, and be deafened for 1d4 rounds.
• The treasure in this room is in a metal bucket. Attempting to move it will cause a loud noise unless a thief does so via appropriate skills.

Monsters: None

Treasure: 2000 sp, 1000 gp

5-27 Southern Amplifier Chamber

 

This oddly shaped chamber is an acoustic nightmare. Every sound in the room is amplified greatly, and focused toward the eastern wall.

• The amplification effect is at least partly magical. Any loud noise, shouting, or the like, is actually amplified enough that everyone in the room must make a save vs. death ray or take 2d6 damage, and be deafened for 1d4 rounds.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

5-26 Curtained Room with a Knight's Statue

 

This large chamber has a series of black and red curtains, similar to so many of the rooms within this complex, blocking off the center of the room. In the middle stands a solemn statue of an elf in full plate armor, weilding a two handed sword.

Monsters: 4 Trolls

Treasure: potion of fire resistance, potion of treasure finding, plate +3, shield +1

5-25 Restful Benches

 

This room appears to be one of the quiet, restful rooms within this complex. The walls are painted with murals depicting the interior of an inn, while wooden benches line the walls, allowing one to sit and relax. At least, once the room is cleared.

Monsters: 3 rust monsters

Treasure: None

5-24 An Assortment of Hooks and Chains

 

The full length of this enclosed chamber is riddled with dozens, if not hundreds of chains dangling from the ceiling, ending in wicked iron hooks. They are rusty, but still in relatively whole condition. Here and there, pieces of strange meat and segments of bodies are suspended from the hooks.

• An individual may navigate this room carefully, so long as no one else is within the room. If two or more characters are trying to move through the room, however, their movements disturb the chains, which are sharp enough, and balanced in pairs via loops in the ceiling, which will inevitably cause them to catch and scratch or hook at exposed skin. Once more than one person is moving through the room, each additional person will automatically cause 1d6 damage to anyone within the room each round. So 2 people cause 1d6 to everyone each round, 3 people cause 2d6 each round, etc. This may occur even through armor, due to the nature of the entangling chains.

Monsters: None

Treasure: 5000 sp, 1200 gp

5-23 Statue of the Judge

 

This may have once been some sort of court. There's marks on the stone floor where benches once stood, although they have long been removed. Dominating the northern section of this room is a large statue of a robed elf, gazing down with arms crossed.

• Persons passing through this room may get the feeling that they are being watched by the statue. Within this room, it takes an effort to tell any lie or deception, a save vs. spells is required to do so. Likewise, any magical shapechange or illusion is dispelled unless the subject makes a save vs. spells.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

5-22 Bottom of the Pit

 

This chamber was perhaps once used for storage, or for passage of things from far above. A shaft in the ceiling opens over a bare stone floor.

• The shaft above leads to the appropriate floors above, and may be scaled by those with the proper gear and skill.
• There is a body, long dead and decayed, laying on the floor beneath the shaft.

Monsters: None

Treasure: 4000 sp, 1000 gp

5-21 The Chamber of Challenge

 

This long room has simple scenes of the interior of a wooden building painted on the stone walls, along with a set of wooden benches hung from the east and west walls themselves.

Monsters: 2 owlbears

Treasure: 4000 sp

5-20 Forlorn Storage Area

 

This otherwise ordinary room appears to have several crates and chests stashed along the east wall.

• The door to this room is locked. 
• The crates and chests are empty. If they are searched or opened, the door will close and lock (standard lock). It may be forced as normal as well. 1d4 rounds after the door is shut, the room will begin to grow colder, and will inflict 1d4 points of cold damage each round until the door is opened.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

5-19 Sor-Avel's Throne Room

 

This room has a large, luxurious throne surrounded by four ornate columns. The northern section of the room is hidden behind red curtains, with black and red designs embroidered upon them.

• Behind the curtain is where Sor-Avel's living quarters are.

Monsters: Sor-Avel (longbow, 12 arrows, sword, shield, plate)(Level 7 Elf), 2 elves (longbow, 12 arrows, sword, shield, plate)

Treasure: 6000 gp, potion of control animal, personal gear

5-18 The Elven Feasthall

 

In contrast to so much of the dungeon so far, this room is well kept. The murals on the walls depict an ancient elven palace, and they have been restored, with the magics that upkept them so long reinvigorated, giving the images an apperance of moving. A fine table and benches are present within the room, covered with platters, plates, bowls, and goblets, presenting a feast.

• The feast is magically conjured, and refreshes itself every 24 hours.

Monsters: 8 elves (longbow and 12 arrows, sword, shield, plate) (treat as elves, but chaotic. They are in service to Sor-Avel, and may seek to capture the party if they show signs of having obvious magic items)

Treasure: 4000 ep plus personal

5-17 The Three Chambers of Wonder

 

Three irregular rooms are connected into a sort of winding hallway. The walls are covered with a slick, glistening slime, and innumerable plants seem to erupt from cracks in the ground, growing up in the light of a curious green glow that suffuses the ceiling.

• This chamber's plantlife has a number of exotic sorts from all over the world, and may optionally be harvested to craft various poultices and poisons. While traversing this room, an encounter check should be made the first time each individual sub-room is entered during an expedition.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

5-16 The Sparring Chamber

 

A few benches have been hauled in from other areas of this level, and set against the walls. There are a few training dummies crudely cobbled together from wooden parts.

Monsters: 2 Minotaur

Treasure: 3000 sp, 800 gp

5-15 A Vicious Dining Hall

 

The chamber here is decorated with murals depicting a choir of angels, hovering amidst the clouds. This scene is a stark contrast to the bloodstains and bones which litter the floor, some of which seem to come from human and other sentient sources.

Monsters: 2 minotaurs

Treasure: None

5-14 Lair of the Chargers

 

This large chamber is one of a few of similar size. Piles of straw and hides are scattered on the floor, and serve as crude beds.

• This is the main lair of the Chargers, a group of minotaurs that dwell in this section of the level.

Monsters: 4 minotaurs

Treasure: 12000 cp, ornate copper crown (400 gp), key to 5-13

5-13 Charger's Storage Room

 

Once within, there are a few boxes and crates scattered within an otherwise plain looking room.

• The door to this chamber is locked (the key is with the Chargers in 5-14). 
• This chamber's walls are coated with a strange fungus. If an open flame is brought into the room, it will stir them to release clouds of spores over 1d4 rounds. Once the spores have been released, anyone within the room must save vs. poison or take 1d6 damage until removed to an area with clear air.

Monsters: None

Treasure: 2000 sp, 800 gp

5-12 The Glyphed Stairs

 

A set of sturdy stone stairs descends down to the next level. Each of the steps is carved with innumerable glyphs of ancient sort. 

• These glyphs were part of a protective spell, but are no longer active.
• Treasure is hidden behind a stone along the side of the stairs down (secret door check to notice)

Monsters: None

Treasure:  2000 sp, 600 gp, scroll of web

5-11 The Hall of Faces

 

This long hall may once have been some sort of gallery. The walls are carved with stone relief in the shape of hundreds of strange faces, ranging from a few inches across to a few feet across. All stare blankly ahead toward the middle area of the room.

• If the faces are searched or inspected closely, they begin to wail and scream. They continue to scream as long as any living begins remain in the room, and for 1d4 rounds thereafter. Characters within the room that can hear them must make a saving throw vs. paralyzation or become paralyzed with fear. At the same time, make an encounter check each round while the faces are screaming.

Monsters: None

Treasure: 2000 sp, 800 gp, gem (worth 500 gp)

5-10 An Oval Chamber

 

This large oval chamber has an arched ceiling, from which is suspended the spine and skull of some sort of dragon. The chains that keep the remnant of the skeleton up are sturdy, if worn. A withered corpse lies on the floor in the center of the room.

Monsters: Wraith (hidden among the dragon bones near the ceiling, will attempt to surprise party.)

Treasure: (on corpse): 2000 ep, scroll of protection from elementals, sword +2, ring of invisibility, boots of levitation

5-9 A Wide Corridor

 

The passage here widens into what might have been a preparation room. The walls have once been painted, but have been scoured of anything of meaning, just leaving scraps of color here and there. There are pegs and holes where once wooden benches were set along the walls on the north and east sides of the room.

• Midway along the west wall of the room, a 10'x10' section of floor is set to fold down into a pit trap below. It will immediately drop any human sized character into it unless they make a save vs. breath weapon. A halfling will only set the trap off and subsequently have to make the save on a roll of 1-2 on 1d6. The trap itself is about 20' deep, and terminates in spikes that deal an additional 1d8 damage on top of falling damage. More importantly, the stone slab of the floor will pivot back into place, locking anyone who falls into the pit inside without outside assistance (or a herculean effort of strength or leverage).

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

5-8 Echoing Wings

 

This oddly shaped room is divided into two lobes, connected with a narrower section. The walls are curiously smooth and polished to a shine.

• There is a constant, distant echo of any movement that occurs within. If the characters are not stealthy, the feedback from their own movements will quickly become a cacaphony, requiring an encounter check every round they remain within.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

5-7 The Munching Room

 

This passage opens into an octagonal room with the walls (at least those not occupied by corridors) covered with murals, each depicting a corridor ending at a forest of spikes. The spikes in the images are covered with blood.

Monsters: 2 trolls have taken to lurking in this room, ambushing travelers.

Treasure: 4000 gp

5-6 The Treasury

 

The walls of this room are covered with murals painted to resemble some sort of couting house or treasury, with images of chests, stacks of coins, and so on. There are a few very real chests set against the far wall of this room.

• The floor of this room in the center is fitted with a pressure plate. It may be bypassed by going around it, otherwise, there is a 1 in 6 chance that it is depressed any time someone steps upon it. If the pressure plate is triggered, numerous darts will fire from small holes hidden among the images on the murals. Anyone within the main section of the room will be attacked by 1d4 darts, THAC0 20, 1d6 damage on a hit.

Monsters: None

Treasure: 6000 sp, 800 gp in chests

5-5 Chip's Place

 

This roughly appointed bedroom has sturdy furniture, and the walls bear numerous gouges and chips, as if something had a habit of impacting the stone with great force.

Monsters: Chip Tuskbustle (max hp wereboar), 2 boars

Treasure: 1000 cp, potion of invulnerability (will use it if pressed), shield +1 (will wear it)

5-4 The Mess Hall

 

This roughly oval chamber has been converted into a sort of mixed meeting and dining room. There is a single table in the center, but it appears as though the creatures that dwell here pay very little attention to even basic cleanliness.

Monsters: 2 wereboars, 4 boars

Treasure: 3000 sp, Gold Ring set with Diamond (1500 gp), Golden Collar (1300 gp), Large, fine electrum platter (1100 gp), Silver medallion with sapphire (900 gp)

5-3 The Painted Room

 

This stone chamber, set aside from the main throughway, has been painted a mess of vibrant colors. The walls are splashed with paint in a haphazard manner, making for an almost mad appearance.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

5-2 Guardian Boars

 

It is difficult to tell what this room once was. The floor is  gouged and stained by innumerable past battles throughout the centuries. The walls have been defaced with crude graffiti, of varying ages. Where once hung tapestries far above, now only bare rods and occasional tattered segments of rope remain.

• This is where Chip's watchman stands guard. The watchman will attempt to challenge intruders, but if wounded will automatically seek to flee to room 4.

Monsters: 1 wereboar, 2 boars

Treasure: None

5-1 The Landing

 

This room is overlooked by a balcony from the floor above. A single grand stairway descends to the center of this room, while doors head off in three directions.

Monsters: None

Treasure: Hidden behind some loose stones in the back of the staircase is a cache of 6000 sp, 1200 gp, and a potion of speed.
