230. GARBAGE ROOM
 
This plastered and painted chamber,
probably a secluded place for relaxation
when the Temple was in its heyday, is
now filled with rubbish. The room is a
heap of rotting, stinking garbage, offal,
shit, and who knows what else; bones
and skulls are visible here and there. Part
of a bronze-bound coffer of some sort
can be seen near the middle of a large pile
of refuse in the center of the room.

An otyugh lurks here, because the eating
is good (with occasional fresh appetizers,
when wandering creatures become too curious). It awaits at the center of the large central pile, and attacks if anyone goes beyond
4 feet of the entrance.

Otyugh: AC 3, MV 6 ", HD 6, hp 32, #AT 3,
THACO 13, D 1-8/1-8/2-5, SA disease, SD never surprised; XP 956

The bugbears to the north (areas 231-232-233) <alt>
know of this monster and AVOID it, having
already lost 1 of their number to its appetite. Being a good garbage disposal as well,
they do not wish to kill it.

The coffer contains a scroll of seven magic-user spells: <wood scroll case>
friends, magic missile, knock, mirror image, web, SLOW, rary's mnemonic enhancer. (XP: 1500)
Under the central "nest" of the otyugh is a gold platter (worth
300 gp), 10-40 of each coin type (cp, sp, ep, gp, pp), and a platinum bracelet (worth
1, 000 gp) set with  4 opals (each worth
1, 000 gp).
<29 cp, 19 sp, 31 ep, 22 gp, 29 pp>
<opals: 1000 gp, 800 gp, 1000 gp, 2000 gp>

(Total treasure XP: 5,985)
