This is the residence of Kelno, the only
<priest> of the Air Temple—his apprentices
having been slain by rival factions. He is bitter and full of great
hatred for both the Fire
and Water Temples. Kelno bargains with
anyone if he sees profit for himself and harm
to these rivals. He has spent all his funds on
hiring and bribing bugbears, for he
hopes to
amass a sufficient force to turn the tables on
the other Temples.
Kelno wears chain mail + 1 and (XP:
600)
a cloak of protection +1
(which affects only his saving throws, when worn with magical armor), (XP:
1000)
and wields a mace + 1. <footman's
mace> (XP: 350)
Though he carries a dagger of
venom with 1 dose of virulent poison (-2 penalty to victim's saving
throw), (XP: 350)
he is saving it for either Alrrem
(room 205c) or Belsornig (room
215). His
Strength is 16 ( + 1 damage bonus)
and Dexterity 17 (-3 AC bonus). <corrected>
(All bonuses are included in the following statistics. ) If hard
pressed, he uses his darkness
15' radius spell to escape into the concealed passage to <error:
darkness 15' radius is a M-U spell> <if hard-pressed, he casts sanctuary>
the east (area 209a), trying to reach corridor
209. If enemies are in pursuit, he flees down
the staircase to the lower
dungeon level, for
he knows portions of that AREA fairly well.

| The entire room is gray —carpeting,
plaster, wall hangings, furnishings, etc. — and spartan. Lamps of grayish metal on a small table and a wall shelf dimly light the room; a pair of upholstered chairs are by the table. On the table are some pewter dishes and a plain crock <an earthenware pot or jar> half-filled with mead. The shelves hold some foodstuffs, a few scrolls and books, and several human and demihuman skulls. A narrow bed is in the northeast corner, with a small stand beside it. <There is a lit a lit brazier in the center of the room.> |
<4 carpets, 9 square yards each, 45# each: 71 gp, 95 gp, 88 gp, 84
gp>
<sweetmeats, soup, brandy, good wine, meat (pork), beans>
The scrolls and books are of no value.
The wardrobe holds worthless garments
and a cassock of silver cloth, the latter
worked with crystal beads and jet to form
black squares with shining centers. This
is
the ceremonial robe of the high <priest> of the
Air Temple, worth 1, 500 gp.
<trousers, stockings, cap, cape, veil>
A drapery conceals the exit to the east. In
that passage is a flowing fountain, set
into
the wall, and the passage beyond is piled
with arms and armor:
11 suits of armor (bugbear size,
worth 50 gp each to bugbears) <there are rules for
piecemeal
armor in OA, page 48> <bugbears
have a listed AC of 5: assume 50# for each 'set'>
4 battle axes
2 fauchard-forks
4 glaive-guisarmes
7 maces (heavy) <footman's
maces>
8 morning stars
5 quivers (20 arrows each)
16 spears (heavy) <ash spears>
1 sword, bastard
Near this pile is a locked chest, trapped <medium wooden chest>
with a poison needle. Inside are only 11 gp,
28 ep, and 176 sp.
