316. HEXAGONAL CHAMBER

2 bugbear leaders (of those in area 315)
live here. Each is likewise clad in black. In
the event of trouble, these monsters rely on
their own force, not calling on those in areas
317 or 318. Each gains a + 1 strength bonus to damage <+1 to hit & +1 damage for 17 STR: cf. DMG.15>
They FLEE any unfavorable encounter if possible.

(Total XP: 454) (+1 damage, +3 hp = 478)

Each leader carries 10 ep, 20 gp, and 10 pp,
and wears a gold ring set with a bloodstone (a
symbol the bugbears recognize as direct
authority over them, by order of Zuggtmoy
herself) worth 50 gp. The larger wears an electrum armlet (worth 30 gp) and a silver belt
buckle (15 gp); the other wears a gold earring
in one nostril (20 gp).

Torch brackets are affixed to the walls of
this hexagonal chamber, but without
torches. The stone here is of mottled rust
and moss-green hue. The ceiling arches
to a height of about 25 feet in the center.
A large iron brazier stands in the center
of the room, and a rude table by the <low table>
south wall, with a cabinet nearby. 2
heaps of pillows, cushions, and old cloth
(rugs, tapestries, etc. ) lie on the floor.

The cabinet holds some smoked meat,
cheese, several bottles of wine, <gouda> <watered wine, 6 bottles>
and eight battered silver plates (worth 25 gp each).
