27. RECRUITS

This is the lair of 6 bugbears, who have
recently been recruited by the New Master
(room 35). If any lights are shown in the
chamber to the north, these creatures sneak
forth quietly to investigate, gaining surprise
on 1-3 (1d6). <this seems to indicate that the top of the map is South>

The bugbears know only that the Master
is quartered somewhere to the north. Each
has 12 gp. The leader (17 hp) wears a bracelet,
which is actually a silver necklace
(worth 450 gp) set with 5 gems of chrysoprase
(four small, worth 50 gp each, and one
of larger size worth 100 gp).

Bugbears (6): AC 5; HD 3 + 1; hp 17; 14, 12,
11, 11, 9; #AT 1; D 2-8 (morning star);
SA surprise on 1-3; XP 203, 191, 183, 179
(x2), 171. TOTAL MONSTER XP = 1106.
