| This place is 20' x 30', with 3 doors
in the southern portion — east, south in the west corner, and west, A high, broad fireplace with numerous side ovens dominates the north wall. The fireplace is large enough to roast a whole ox. The room is littered with broken containers and dishes, trash of an unidentifiable sort, and pieces of wooden tables, counter tops, and the like. Several skeletons are visible, including one which appears to be that of an ogre. |
Within the darkest recesses of the unused fireplace dwells a giant poisonous
snake. It
is coiled and may strike by surprise
(50%
chance). It has not eaten for a long time, and
is very hungry. It can strike to 8 foot range,
half its length, and attacks any creature
coming within that range.
