| This room appears to he someone's quarters.
There is a simple bed in the northeast corner and a small circular table with 2 chairs. On the table is a bottle of wine <Celene ruby> and a chess board. At the foot of the bed is a carved wooden chest. The chest has been carved to depict a battle scene in high relief. Hanging on the wall is a <large> shield, a leather cloak, a shirt, a mandolin, and a skald's field harp. On the bed is a fur covering. There is a door in the <fur = x> south end of the room with a big lock on it. <Open Locks, PH> |
This is Icar's
quarters. None of the items
on the wall are of any real value, and
the
<large>
shield is missing its arm strap. The wine <Celene
ruby> is of
good quality. The chessboard has a raised
grid pattern, so that it can be felt by
Icar.
The chest is filled with clothing, neither
rich nor well cared for.
<leggings, gown, habit>
The fur on the bed is worth 18 gp. <fur
= x>
If the characters attempts to
MOVE the furniture, they discover that
it is
bolted to the floor with the exception
of the
bed. This is so Icar knows where everything
is. Underneath the bed is a trapdoor,
bolted
on this side. The trapdoor leads to the
dungeon complex
below.
The door
in the south wall leads to a 10-
foot-square closet where a medusa
is kept
prisoner, guarding Icar's
treasure.
Above
the door, on the lintel, is hidden the
key to
the door. The medusa is terrified of lcar
because he is invulnerable to her major
power and she knows that he has access
to a
periapt
of proof against poison (from room
17). The medusa
is chained to the wall and
will guard Icar's treasure with her life.
If the
party tries the closet door, she will cry
out in
anger, "Icar, you snake's belly, release
me."
Icar's treasure is in an iron
chest cemented
into the floor. The treasure is 2,000
gp, 10
matched pieces of jet
worth 100 gp each,
and 10 matched silver
and black opal
bracelets
worth 200 gp each. In the chest is a
locked hammered brass
coffer. The coffer <Open Locks, PH>
has a very intricate lock and a thief's
chance
to open it is -15 % . A potion
of shadow control,
a potion
of diminution, a clerical scroll <bone scroll
case>
with wind
walk, cure light wounds, feign
death,
cure
serious wounds, purify food
and drink,
and resurrection,
a ring of warmth,
and Quaal's
Feather Token (Whip).
There is a parchment covered with
strange raised lettering inside the chest.
A
comprehend
languages spell will reveal that
the parchment gives directions about the
specialist quarters (area
25 in the dungeon)
and details where the secret
doors to the
treasure
room (which contains the rest of
Icar's treasure) are located. The treasure
consists of 5,000
gp, 1 uncut ruby worth
500 gp, and 8 uncut sapphires
worth 250
gp each. If the stones are cut by a jeweler
<Gem Cutter, DSG>
their value will increase by 4 times.
There is also a potion of oil
of etherealness
and a clerical scroll of atonement.
