The orc matron is the armorer’s wife. She
will scream hysterically if she sights the
party. Her screams rouse the armorer and
his assistants in room 26 and the guards in
room 29, who rush to her defense. In the
room, beneath the bed, are 2 mangy, tortoise
shell cats. They are playing with a silver
thimble worth 5 gp. In the floor beneath
a small bed table is a stone which may be
tilted to reveal an iron box beneath. The box
is locked and inside are the plans for a beautiful <Open Locks, PH>
suit of plate mail, a pouch with 4
agates worth 15 gp each, and a pair of callipers.
There are 2 pallets in the loft for the
orc assistants and 1 has been carving a
piece of wood into a model for a new pole
arm head.
