In this AREA live four trolls,
sentries for the
troops of the Great Temple (who lair in
areas 405, 406, 407,
408)
and personal guardians of
their commanders (tose in areas 403 and
404). 2 will be here at all times, and all
are present at night.
The trolls' bedding is piled in
the northeast
corner of the area, along with 4 small
chests. The trolls drag out their bedding at
sleeping times, and keep all their valuables
in their locked chests; each has a key.
<what kind of chests?>
Inside each chest are 10 cp, 19
sp, 16 ep, 15
gp, and
1-4 gems of pure black tourmaline (worth
500 gp each).
<4 tourmalines: 550, 750, 550, 550>
<4 tourmalines: 550, 350, 500, 500>
<4 tourmalines: 500, 1000, 300, 400>
<2 tourmalines: 500, 550>
<Total gem value: 7500>
One troll also has a figurine,
an ebony fly
— which is cursed to become a
Chasme (minor demon; see MM2
page 38)
after the 7th round of its 7th use.
The east wall is covered by a huge
tapestry which depicts a great battle, apparently
between the forces of Good and Evil.
Therein, shining humans and winged
humanoids are being blasted to the ground
by magical rays issuing forth from the eyes
of a gigantic, rotund, wrinkled face. The
tapestry conceals a normal-sized but stoutly
reinforced iron-bound door (to area 403).
The trolls have no keys. A corridor about 10
feet wide and 15 feet high slants off to the
southeast.
