<note: if the inhabitants of this room call for help, 3 gnolls from area 127 arrive 2 rounds later>
7 gnolls are in the room, 1 by each
door and 1 deep in the alcove with a
heavy quadruple crossbow (see area 128a).
They live here with a bugbear who is a
rogue, liking the gnolls and ogres better
than its own kind. In case of attack, these
residents alert those in area 127 (or even the
guards in area 129, as applicable).
The alcove is 5 feet wide and 6 feet long,
and houses the 1 gnoll sentry manning the
special crossbow. A peep hole gives a good
view of the corridor south (see area 128a).

| Perhaps this was once a reception room
or minor council chamber. Bits of wall coverings still dangle here and there, and a once fine hardwood sideboard is centered along the north wall. Atop it are various dirty dishes, a cask of beer, and bits of stale bread and dried meat. The entire length of the west wall is lined with piles of bedding, divided into 8 pallets. A small wall font still trickles a sulphurous smelling water into a stone basin in the northwest corner. A stack of wood lies by the south door, possibly for use in some nearby fireplace. A five-foot- wide alcove can be seen in the east wall, near the northeast corner. |
Each gnoll has 3-18 cp. The bugbear carries
a pouch containing 1-4 of each coin type <large belt
pouch>
(cp, sp,
ep, gp, pp), and also wears a
gold
chain with 12 large coins upon it (130
gp for
the whole).
(14, 10, 9, 10, 9, 10, 11, total cp: 73)
(1 cp, 1 sp,
1 ep, 2 gp, 4 pp)
A hollow log at the bottom of the stack of
wood conceals the bugbear's private stash of
60 sp, 28 ep, and 47
gp.
