2 werewolves lair here. They serve the
Fire Temple, bringing loot and victims
to
Alrrem (area 205c). The
crystal sheet of area
207 is also visible here if a
covering of gray
cloth is pulled aside. It is a lens
of transformation, actually placed here for evil purposes by Iuz
(see Appendix C).
Upon hearing noise in the adjoining room
(area 207), the werewolves stand before the
lens, being seen by those on the other side as
angelic figures. They see through the crystal
normally. If the party balks at disarming
themselves, the creatures step away from
the device and wait to surprise
anyone
entering their secret door, just in case. If the
party cooperates, the monsters rush
through to room 207, gather up the items
left, and quickly TAKE them to their lair.
Then (and only then) do they return to
room 207, in person, to deal with the (hopefully)
defenseless party. Those who surrender are taken to area
206 (and then to 205).
Corpses are devoured by the werewolves.
The lens cannot be removed from the wall
by mundane means. If a wish is used,
it is
either be loosened (25% chance) or shatters
(75%); if the latter result occurs, Iuz
immediately knows what happened and who did it!
