The remains of moldering foodstuffs and
kitchen work tables are visible. A wooden
cask near the fireplace on the north wall
looks inviting, but anyone approaching it is
attacked by a giant tick! (If the attack hits,
the victim takes 1-4 points of damage from
the bite and 1-6 points per round thereafter
from blood drain, with no "to hit" roll
needed. ) This horror came in through the
chimney. No treasure is here.

Giant Tick: AC 3; HD 3; hp 19; MV 3 "; #AT
1; D 1-4; SA blood drain for D 1-6 per
round; XP 141
