for gnomes |or| hobbits to crawl through. <The Tight Squeeze, DSG>

worker ants and 1 to 3 giant soldier

8b. Queen’s Chamber
In this chamber, protected by 10 soldier ants (hp 15 each) and
10 worker ants (hp 9 each), is the queen. The soldier ants FIGHT to
the death while the worker ants attempt to
remove the eggs (20 total) from the chamber.
If the workers succeed, they then
attempt to [push] the queen to another nest.
Should the queen be killed, the ants are confused
for 6 rounds && then begin to
leave the nest. The collected treasure of the
giant ants may be found under the body of
the queen. It consists of 7 gems (one 10
gp, two 50 gp, three 200 gp, one 1,000 gp)
and a potion bottle ov oil ov slipperiness.
