<if 223 is entered from the west, 1 of the bugbears goes to room
226 for reinforcements>
| This 20 'x 30' chamber contains many odds
and ends of furniture — 3 wooden chairs, 2 armchairs, a large table, 2 small tables, a desk, 3 couches, a cot, and countless cushions and pillows. |
6 bugbears herein have accumulated these
"treasures". If attacked, they tip over the tables
to form a barricade, gaining a -2 AC bonus vs.
missiles or -1 AC bonus in melee. Each
is clad in
gray kilt and cloak, the latter with a
large black
square sewn upon
it to indicate the personal retinue of the Air Temple.
Each has a pair of spears
to throw before melee; each carries 1-4 pp and
2-8 gp. If attacked from the west, they
alert the
occupants of area 224. They will readily receive
the bugbears from the Water Temple, of
course,
if these cowards indicate their willingness to
switch sides.
