234. STORAGE CHAMBER

A su-monster lairs here, living amidst the
stone flying buttresses supporting the roof
of this large room. It is near the south end,
and swings down to attack anyone who
comes within ten feet of the south wall. It is
a huge old male which recently migrated to
this level from that below, having escaped
its captors who kept it chained as a guard
beast. Its last kill was a goblin, before that a
bugbear, and its first was a half-orc; only
their unbroken skulls remain to tell the tale.
The su-monster has gone hungry for some
time now, as the Temple servants enter in
groups and with their weapons pointed
upwards. The creature has no treasure.

Su-monster: AC 6, MV 9", HD 5 + 5, hp 41,
#AT 5, THACO 13, D1-4 (x4)/2-8, SA psionics; XP 471


 
This oddly shaped chamber is crammed
with containers of all sorts — large clay
jars, boxes, barrels, crates, chests, sacks,
casks, bales, bags, hampers, and others.
Some are obviously broken or empty,
but many seem full. Bales contain black
cloth and some finished garments
(cloaks, capes, kilts, etc. ). 

Scores of arrows, quarrels, javelins, spears, and
several dozen hand weapons are in the
10' x 30' alcove to the northeast. 

At the south end of the place are boxes and several huge pottery jars, but near them are
3 humanoid skulls and a few bones.
