315. HEXAGONAL CHAMBER

6 bugbears are quartered herein. Originally, they and their captain were to patrol
for intruders and keep the fighting between
the factions to a minimum, preventing the
destruction of the real strength of the whole
Elemental Evil effort. They are thus dressed
in black. They are now simply staying here,
keeping out of sight and "dogging it" (so to
speak). If they discover intruders or are
attacked, they shout to alert their fellows (in
areas 316-317-318) or strike the WARNING gong, <alt>
whichever is the more easily accomplished.
The bugbears do not know of the existence
of the secret passage which leads to area
302. Each has a small bag of unappetizing
foodstuffs and miscellaneous junk, along
with 2-8 pp, 4-16 gp, and 5-30 ep.
<34 pp, 57 gp, and 96 ep>

Torch brackets are affixed to the walls of
this hexagonal chamber, but without
torches. The stone here is of dull ocher.

feet in the center. A large iron brazier
stands in the center of the room, and a rude
table by the south wall. <long table>

cured animal skins) lie on the floor.
