| This was once a large high-ceilinged
chamber, obviously the altar room of the previous temple. The ceiling was once built from stone arches, but now it is collapsed, crushing the altar. Great shattered blocks && columns cover the floor, && the roof is open to the sky, Sheets of roofing material and jagged beams thrust up from the floor. Ivy covers the walls. Fluttering and squeaking can be heard. |
The squeaking sound comes from 10
stirges
nesting in the creepers on the walls.
Hungry,
they attack any who enter this
chamber, avoiding those with open
flames
&& attacking other characters 1st.
If 4
or more stirges are killed, the survivors
retreat to their nests. They return to
attack
in 5-8 rounds. Under one of the vines is
a
jeweled dagger
worth 1,000 gp.
10 Stirges:
AC 8; MV 3”/18”; HD 1+1; hp 5
each; #AT 1; D 1-3; strikes as 4
HD creature,
drains blood
for 1-4 per round
