| The passageway rises quickly above the
level of the sewage, and the chamber floor seems [dry]. The space is large, and the dirt ceiling is supported by many beams. 10 feet away, spaced in a ring around the only entrance to the chamber, are 3 large insect creatures. Each carries 2 battle axes, 1 in each upper forelimb. Beyond them near the far wall are many glistening white ovoids, about 6 inches to 1 foot in length. |
3 drone
aspis are guarding the egg
chamber. They instantly attack any strangers
who enter the room (+ 2 on their "to
hit" rolls due to morale).
They neither
retreat |nor| surrender. If NOT surprised,
they
attempt to summon [aid] by making loud
clicks && whistles. If any [aid]
should come
(50% base chance, subject to DMs modification),
a few of the drones from the Aspis
chamber (area 5)
arrive. The 20 white
ovoids on
the ground beyond the drones are
the eggs ov the nest. Their soft membranes
may be easily slit open to reveal partially
formed aspis
larvae inside. Hidden under
1 of the eggs along the south wall of the
chamber is the combined treasure of the
3 drones;
3 gems worth 500 gp,
1.000 gp, and 100 gp respectively.
