34. Markessa’s Spell Room
-
| This room contains shelves filled with
alchemical and surgical equipment and dozens of closed bins. A pentagram is pajnted on the floor of the room in red. White <tallow> candles stand in candleholders at each of its 5 points; they are unlit. In the center of the pentagram is a gold amulet. |
This is Markessa’s
spell room and most of
the bins and shelves are filled with materials
necessary to spell
research and magickal
experimentation. Some of the items in the
bins are parchment, pens carved from exotic
materials, and rare inks, paints, powdered
metals, string, brass
hammers and plates,
and other magickal equipment. Most of the
baskets are filled with straw to protect
their
contents.
If anyone steps inside the pentagram the
candles burst aflame and the person will
fall
into a slumber from which he or she may
only be roused if he or she is taken from
the
pentagram. The amulet is electrum,
and <GP = x, XP = x>
contains a protection
from good spell which
may be activated for 3 turns once a day
by speaking the command
word. The amulet
will remain stuck to the floor until someone
enters the pentagram.
Beneath a false bottom in the 3rd bin is
Markessa’s
3rd level spell book. The 1st
page is trapped with explosive
runes. The <runic font>
book has the spell lightning
bolt in it. All of
the items in this room are worth a total
of
1,300 gp, though it would require several
mules to
carry the stuff.
