From here, 4 salamanders watch over the
operation of the entire engine room. There is
a 40% chance that 1 of them will notice any
visible intruder in the AREA. Once an intruder
has been spotted, the salamanders leave the
control room to attack. If a party manages to
approach to within 30' of the control room
without being noticed, the salamanders see
them at that point (even if invisible, the intruders
then being revealed by occasional
gusts of steam). They take 3 rounds to react
and reach the intruders.

The control room may be reached by 2
ramps on either side of it. Inside, the walls are
lined with control panels of switches, blinking
lights, barometer-like tubes, speaking tubes,
wheels, and cranks. In the back wall is a small
window, looking out over the desert | plain.
About the room are 4 sets of pipes, set at
odd angles and bent in many directions,
which apparently serve as chairs for the salamanders.
High along the walls are several
large pipes.

Salamanders (4): hp 56, 52, 39, 37; XPV
1,385, 1,345, 1,215, 1,195

If the pipes along the walls are damaged or
broken, sticky web fluid sprays throughout
the room. This acts as a web spell in the area.
When enough has been released, it begins to
[run] down the ramps, making them very sticky
and impossible to cross. There are great reservoirs
of this fluid, and the supply is adequate
to coat 1/3 of the floor of the whole engine
room.

If any character handles any of the controls,
one of the following results will occur. If any
result affects the entire ship, Lolth and her
guards will personally come to determine
what the problem is, arriving in 9-12 rounds.

1d10 | Result of Handling Controls
1 | Explosion in the boiler room, rocking the entire shp. 
2 | Call from the bridge demanding to know what the problem is. 
3 | Burst of steam in the control room (SAVE vs. breath weapon at-1, Dmg 6-36)
4 | Shuip twitches violently
5 | Lights go out all over the ship. 
6 | All machinery slows, and stops for 2-5 rounds. 
7-10 | Nothing happens
