8-31 Dust to Dust

 

This dusty chamber has but a single painting of a withered looking corpse, painted upon the north wall. Its hands are stretched out to either side. The floor is covered with a fine gray powder.

• Anyone entering or searching the room will kick the powder up. Anyone not holding their breath or using some sort of filter will breathe in the dust, requiring a save vs. death or take 2d20 damage from choking. Furthermore, they will have been inflicted with mummy rot, as if having been struck and infected by a mummy, with the usual effects.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

8-30 Resonant Chamber

 

This circular chamber has a domed roof. Every sound made here seems to echo and vibrate through the room.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

8-29 Hall of Oppositions

8-25 A Room of Distorted Mirrors

 

This room is lined with strange mirrors upon the walls. Similar to funhouse mirrors, these mirrors show distorted images of the person looking into them.

• Once per day, a character may touch one of these mirrors if they dare. Doing so requires a saving throw vs. spells. If they fail, two of their ability scores are permanently switched at random. Roll 1d6 for each. 1 = Strength, 2 = Dexterity, 3 = Constitution, 4 = Intelligence, 5 = Wisdom, 6 = Charisma. If the same score shows up on both rolls, the character’s ability score is instead permanently changed. There’s a 50% chance it’s raised by 1 point to a maximum of 18, if not it is then lowered by 1 point, to a minimum of 3.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

8-24 Information Booth

 

This peaceful chamber has a long desk along the southern wall, behind which, the elvish word for ‘Information’ is carved into the wall. A single push bell is affixed to the desktop.

8-23 The Chamber of Ends

 

This chamber has walls that are scored with strange scrape marks, while the ground is littered with broken bones and broken pieces of armor and weapons.

• There is nothing of value amid the equipment.
• Anyone searching the room has a 1 in 6 chance of triggering the trap for each turn spent searching. This results in the door closing and locking, and the ceiling descending. The door lock may be picked by a thief or forced by a combined strength of 30. The ceiling takes 10 rounds to descend, once it is down to 4 rounds left, human sized characters may no longer stand up straight. They’ll begin taking 2d6 damage on round 9, and 10d6 damage on round 10 and subsequent rounds. The trap will reset itself after 24 hours.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

8-22 Statue of the Multihit

 

A grand statue of an elven warrior looms large within this room. He appears to have eight arms, each bearing a different weapon, and has his visage carved into a stern look.

• This room can be used for spell research, or to research topics as if consulting a sage.

Two statues of winged demons stand facing one another against the east wall, their clawed hands raised above their heads. A portrait of a brass door surrounded by flames is hung upon the wall between them, facing the entrance.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

8-17 An Arched Hall

 

Two archways lead into a side hall that has its walls painted to resemble various scenes of battle, mostly depicting elves against monsters invading a forest.

• Above each of the archways are suspended large, spiked iron balls upon chains, that are ‘obviously’ meant to swing down and strike anyone who enters once triggered. However, there are no trigger mechanisms. Instead, to each side of the small corridors leading into the room are pressure plates. When stepped on, they will trigger spikes to slide out of the painted walls upon anyone trying to skirt along the sides of the passages. These attack as 6 HD monsters and deal 2d6 damage on a hit.

8-11 Room of Coin Locker Chests

 

There are eight sturdy chests in this room, large and roomy, easily five foot wide, three foot deep, and three foot tall. Each one is numbered, and has a lock with a coin slot and a handle instead of a keyhole.

• Each of the chests is wizard locked. A character placing a coin in the coin slot will be able to open the chest in question freely, for a duration dependent on the coin placed within the lock. This can allow for safe storage of gear or other material. 1 sp = 1 hour, 1 gp = 1 day, 1 pp = 1 week.
• There is a 5% chance any particular chest already contains an object when the character opens it for the first time. Roll on the following table:

Random Coin Locker Chest Contents (2d4)

2 – 1 random magic item
3 – 1d4 random potions

8-10 Dead End Room

 

This room has a number of skulls piled upon the walls, some simply stacked, some set into the stone work. They range from human to demihuman to monstrous. The floor in the center of the room is relatively clear.

• One of the skulls set into the wall on the west acts like a handle to open the secret door there.
• Stepping into the center of the room may trigger a pit trap there. The floor is set to tilt downward, then swing back up once enough weight has been placed in the middle. This drops any unfortunate victim into a 10’ deep pit, then seals them in from above. There’s a 1 in 6 chance of the trap triggering for any one person, but two or more people will automatically set it off.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

8-9 Another Columned Staircase

 

Similar to the entrance from the floor above, this room is dominated by a large stone column that leads upward to support the roof. Into this column, however, is a stairway leading down further into the depths.

Monsters: None

8-8 Off Center Juncture

 

This room appears to have been some sort of information room. There’s scuff marks on the floor where a large desk might have once been set against the west wall, and the west wall is carved with all sorts of elven names, long with numbers that appear to be room numbers.

• Among the elven names are simply elvish words for ‘Open’ and ‘Hidden’. If these two words are depressed, a central panel opens to allow access to the hall leading west.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

8-7 Chamber of Flames

• The treasure here is hidden among the shelves.

Monsters: None

Treasure: 4,000 sp, 3,000 gp

8-5 The Elevator

 

On the wall beside the door into this room is a button. If the elevator is on this floor, the door will be open. If it is not, then if the button is pushed, a glyph on the wall above it will glow softly, and after one round per floor it has to travel, the elevator will arrive, and the door will open.

• Inside of the elevator, the numbers 6 to 9 are carved onto the wall. Touching one of the numbers will cause it to glow, and a horrible shudder will run through the room, as it noisily begins to move to the appropriate floor. The elevator may travel to levels 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Monsters: None

The center of this room contains a shallow, placid pool. It’s surrounded by a brief stone lip, some six inches wide and a foot off the ground. There are about a dozen large koi fish swimming lazily beneath the surface.
