Herein is the lair of 9 gnolls recruited
by the New Master (area 35). They attack
intruders, fighting fiercely and to the death
if necessary. However, they are 75% likely
to stop and listen if an offer to parley is
made, for they are not satisfied with their
lot. They have lost 6 members while raiding
to the east and south of the ruins, are
dissatisfied with their loot, and are irate
about the greater status accorded the newly
recruited bugbears (area 27).

The gnolls speak bugbear, ogre, and their
own tongue, but no Common. If offered 6
or more gp each (triple awards for the
leader), they desert their current station. If
double this fee is offered and paid, they lead
the characters to the north passage toward <directions for the dungeon could be inversed: the top of the map is south, though this is not noted>
the Master's room, and even tell of human
guards. The gnolls then proceed west to the
exit and never return.

Each gnoll has 3-18 sp and a like number
of coppers as well. The leader has 11 gp and
a pretty lump of blue quartz worth 10 gp.
<9, 15, 17, 8, 15, 9, 11, 16, 15 = 115 sp total>
<5, 12, 8, 7, 13, 11, 13, 8, 16 = 93 cp total>

(x3), 7; #AT 1; D 2-8 (battle axe); SA 2
