Contents & Description
1. Cave Entrance. (Dark) This entrance is concealed on the hillside by thick foliage, although animal (and other) tracks lead through the brush to the cave entrance. This large chamber is a natural limestone cave with a rough, uneven floor. In the northernmost recess of the wall is a pile of animal bones including an old goblin skull converted into a mouse nest containing an item from the Stuff Table.
2. Rats Nest. (Dark) 12 Giant Rats. Low morale (Might 1) as they are hiding from the giant ferrets. Copper coins (pack 2) are mixed in with the various nesting materials on the floor.
3. Invaded Nest. (Dark) 3 Giant Ferrets and the corpses of the five giant rats they have just killed.
4. Main Entrance. (Dark) 2 Goblins watch the stairs. A compromise is likely to lead to a Goblin alerting the guards in area 5.
5. Guard Room. 4 Goblins and a runty hobgoblin (-1s Attack and Defend) that nobody likes, live and ‘guard’ here.
6. Boss’ Room. Fighting in area 5 will alert the hobgoblin who lives in this room to trouble. He has silver coins (pack 1) in a locked box under his table. The key is nailed to the underside of the table.
7. Descent. 2 Goblin rat-catchers and their pet giant ferret are coming up the stairs from level 2. The two doors to the south are barred from this side with crudely painted skulls in black paint on them.
8. Crypt of Saint Ulther. (Dark) The east wall is decorated with a mosaic of the life of saint Ulther, a priest with bulging eyes who is shown guiding a fishing vessel in to port during a mighty storm. An ornate sarcophagus contains his skeletal remains.
9. Devotional. (Dark) A dried font for holy water and several candle-niches in the walls indicate the old purpose of this room.
10. Tomb. (Dark) A sarcophagus is in the centre of the room. If opened, a chain mail clad zombie attacks from within. The zombie was entombed with an item from the Treasure and Valuables Loot Table. The small room to the west has a stone door sealed with wax. Inside is another more ornate sarcophagus containing skeletal remains.
11. Crypts. (Dark) These crypts contain piles of skeletal remains and 9 skeletons.
12. Tunnels. (Dark) The tunnels are low and narrow and littered with detritus, normal adventurers will have to remove all carried gear to try and traverse them.
