 BOARDING
PARTY
For years before the departure of the
Colonizer Ship Ulysses, mankind had been
locked in fierce and deadly combat with t h e _
"DESTRUCTORS" - robot ships pro-
grammed to eliminate all forms of life. In an
effort to overcome the effects of these
attacks, the inhabitants of Earth had
redoubled their colonization attempts by
firing huge Colony Ships - each of which
was a deadly and utilitarian cross between
a dreadnought and a cargo ship - on a
daily basis. And now, after five years of
travel, the Ulysses still continued its search
for a habitable planet in the Orion system.

No one could have known that arything

was amiss before the DESTRUCTOR
cruiser materialized in the dead void and
opened fire on the Ulysses. And then, much
more quickly than any human could react,
the interlinked computer networks of the
Ulysses locked onto their target and
returned the fire, the colonizer's phasers
stinging sharply through the blackness.
Within a matter of seconds, both ships were
disabled and drifted aimlessly through
space, two huge masses of metallic
impotence. The one hope that remained
was that the humans could board the
cruiser and destroy it from within ...

The stage is set for the ultimate confrontation between man and machine!

BOARDING PARTY depicts the actions of the crew of the C. S. Ulysses as they try to save their
colonists from the DESTRUCTOR cruiser. Basically a solitaire game in which the
DESTRUCTOR robots move randomly and the player controls the Ulysses' crew after boarding
the cruiser, BOARDING PARTY makes an exciting and challenging two-player game as well!
The game contains a full-color map of the interior of the DESTRUCTOR cruiser, 54 die-cut
playing pieces and comprehensive rules of play; and at $4.95 our Pocket Games just might be
the best deal available.

UBAR
and Their Movements
The Ubar or king of the city. is the most powerful piece on
the board. He is a man wearing a fur robe, a crown, and
holding a sword.
He can move, on the board, as far as he likes in any
direction, so long as his way is not impeded by another
piece.
The Ubar is a back row piece and he can be taken anytime
during THE GAME. His loss does not constitute the end of
THE GAME. That only occurs when the home stone is
captured or an opponent resigns. To find his place on fhe
board, see diagram.

The Ubar's woman, the Ubara, functions pretty much like

her mate, the Ubar, except that she is restricted to three
squares in anyone direction. so long as she is not impeded
by another piece in her way.
The Ubara is also a back row piece Sile stands one crown

stay near the temple wherein hewas cured should the cruel diseases flare up again. Birkaby became moderately prosperous due
to his old contacts with the Brotherhood in this major port. His notoriety also attracted mercenaries seeking work and bandits
hoping to learn more of pirate caches, easy prey along the coast, and cooperative actions with the Brotherhood. Patrons at the

Judge's Notes

This module contains a complete description of the Wayfarer's Inn and three mini-adventures, the beginnings of which
may be made at the Wayfarer's Inn. The mini-adventures are "The Watchtower of Sentia," "The Dunlin Inn," and "The Hall
of Velus." Gamers' maps are included, and you are permitted to make copies of these to hand out to the players as you deem
fit. This module is designed in a free-form manner, and you should alter or add to it whatever is necessary to adjust it to your
campaign. For low-level adventuring, provide assistance with more information via Beggars, soothsayers, gossips, and non-
player characters interested in the success of a mission. You may also reduce the danger level by causing the monsters to be
ill, sleeping, dressing, gaming, arguing, or losing their footing. Remind the gamers to cooperate I

falls. pits, arrow traps. explosive locks. slides. cursed scrolls. protective runes, or a rival group of adventurous bandits out to
thwart the gamers and capture the prize for themselves. A particularly nasty surprise is the "traitor within" - a trusted guide
of seemingly low level that is intent upon striking at the most vulnerable moment for the party. either to avenge a "blood
pact" or to abscond with a treasured magical device. Keep your additions fair and well-balanced to provide the most near·
lethaJ fun. however. An escape should always be possible. For instance. Wolvesbane often grows in areas frequented by Were·
wolves.
Several methods of delivering the maps to the gamers are possible. Dice on the table following and follow the action
rolled. If the gamers still fail to obtain the maps necessary, dice up another action to attempt. Failing all else, simply have a
non-player character sell the map to the garners at a price they can afford. If the garners decide not to pursue an adventure.
begin providing rumors to induce them to do so.
Onee the gamers have decided to try an adventure. they should equip themselves for travel to the various locations sug·
gested. The joumey should keep the expedition exciting; any trek into the wilderness is both dangerous and demanding. En·
counters with wildlife (including giant creatures) are common, and enchanted monsters are only slightly less common.
Remember that this is the stuff of which epics are made and don't slight the gamers of random encounters. The travel·
steined explorers should arrive at their destination with a si~ of relief and some slight apprehension of the more perilous test
to come. Should your campaign consist of predominantly low~evel gamers, remember that the fauna (even predators) prefer
to be left a1ono and are ofton already occupied with quarry more to their ta.tes. Highly intelligent creatures will not attack
against the odds unless necessary to achieve a higher goal (encourage the party to join a caravan, clutch of pilgrims, or .imilar
group) and will usually avoid conflict in any case unless it i. a. the la.t resort to attain some goal (and that goal may not even
involve the gamers). Campfires attract attention, although they al.o dissuade most normal predators. Rem"!"ber that animals
will ofton seem to act illogically. For those Judges with high~evel campaigns, remember that virtually everything that crawl.,
walks, or bores underground during the day comes out at night. Be fair in any respect and give warning of some sort if a
valiant gamer i. about to die ignobly from a tiny insect bite.
Scrupulously give the gamers the treasure indicated; they have earned it. If the wealth would unbalance your campaign,
it is also enough to attract the attention of everyone within several hundred miles in a matter of days. Every encounter there·
after will most probably be some attempt to relieve the gamers of their treasure. Thieves, bandits, robbers, tax collectors, petty
B..ons, dishonest merchants, confidence men. and fake estate realtors will abourxl. Precious metals and gems are prime al·
chemical and magical ingredients sought by powerful Master Alchemists, Wizards, and their minions. Sendings, stalkers. and
apparitions will multiply as the notoriety increases. Evil clerics and cults will seek the treasure to enhance their religious stan·
dings even to the point of summoning minor godlings or their hosts to obtain the wealth. Haunted mines. manors, and bank-
rupt businesses will be offered at a fraction of their represented worth. Tolls, fees, and supplies will become 1D6 times their
normal cost. Finally. this amount of wealth would cause even the most loyal non-player hirling. retainer, or companion to
consider the "good" that could be done with the power such wealth might buy. Dwarves will frequently claim their "prior
rights" to such finds, ofton producing supporting legal documents of ownership. Remember that many a fantasy hero is a rich
king one day and a vagabond adventurer the next.

 Physical Description of the Wayfarer's Inn

1. A large, L-shaped room, 87%' x 87%', contains the main bar area. Windows line the west wall on either side of the en-
trance. Two stone fireplaces, one in the southeast corner and one on the south wall between the kitchen and the bar,
provide heat for the room. Seating for about 150 patrons includes the long bar in the southeast leg of the L. several long,
wooden tables with benches or main on either side, some small tables for four, and a number of comfortable chairs
grouped around the southeastern fireplace. The varnished board-and-batten interior, beamed ceiling, and pegged plank
floor strewn with sawdust provide functional yet pleasant surroundings. Several oil-lamp chandeliers hang from the
ceiling to provide light when the interior wooden shutters are closed over the windows at night or during bad weather.
An opening in the center of the north wall provides access to the laundry room as well as to the stairs leading to the
sleeping rooms on the second floor. A door to the west of this opening leads to the office of Birkaby Long-Arm, the
proprietor of the Wayfarer Inn. At the northeast corner of the main room is a door leading to the room housing the ser-
vants who work at the Inn. Near the end of the bar is the double swinging door leading to the kitchen area.

2. The owner of the Inn, Birkeby Long-Arm, occupies this private bedroom as well as the office adjacent to it (Room 3).
The 20' x 35' bedroom has an exit to the street on the north wall and two windows flanking the bed on the west wall.
In the center of the east wall between the bedroom and the office is a stone fireplace with a heavy. beamed mantle and
shelves on either side which are used to display an assortment of cheap trinkets the owner has collected over the years.
The door between the office and the bedroom is in the southeast corner. In the southern third of the room, a valuable
woven carpet of vivid hues covers the pegged flooring. On this carpet, a low wooden table surrounded by a comfortable.
overstuffed couch covered in blue sailcloth and two wood and canvls chairs are arranged. Oil wall lamps hang on either
side of the couch. A seachest sits beside the double bed on the west wall. It contains Long·Arm's clothing and grooming
necessities. a pair of high hard boots. a silver Dagger, a steel Cutlass with a copper-embossed handle, and, hidden at the
bottom beneath a pile of linen shirts, an iron strongbox containing 127 GP, 42 SP, 366 CP, two Rubies worth 15 GP
each, a single gold earring worth 5 GP. and a silver amulet set with a large Jade stone and hung on a silver chain worth
145 GP. Beside the chest isa dressing table holding an oil lamp, a straight razor, a bar of yellow soap, a ceramic mug, and
a silvered mirror with a teakwood handle worth 5 GP. In the northeast corner of the room, a colorfully striped linen
curtain suspended from the ceiling by copper chains forms a small chamber and conceals a shelf holding a wash basin and
a chcrnber pot. Two soft towels lie beside the basin, and a clean cloth lies near the chamber pot. The towels and cloth are
changed and the chamber pot is emptied each day by the servants. Wooden shutters with stout fasteners are hung on
either side of each window to be closed at night or during bad weather, and the heavy oaken door to the street is secured
by three iron dead bolt locks.

3. The office of the Inn, 1B' x 35', is entered from the main bar by a door in the south wall. A table to the west of the
door is intended to hold the weapons of any person entering the office for the purpose of conducting business with Bir-
kaby Long-Arm. A door in the southwest corner leads to his private bedroom. In the middle of the west wall is a fire-
place flanked by shelves holding the ledgers detailing the financial business of the owner, several books of fiction and
poetry, and a collection of seashells. A couch and chair occupy the north end of the room by the two windows, which
are protected by wooden shutters and covered with short lengths of polished linen woven in brightly-colored stripes. In
the middle of the room, a large rug covers the pegged floor. On it sits a large desk, behind which is an upholstered rose-
wood chair. Arranged before the desk are three wood and canvas chairs. On the desk sits an oil lamp, a pair of wickers,
a tinderbox with flint, and an enormous Sand Oollar. The desk holds current ledgers, parchments, quills, inkbottles full
of ink, an iron Dagger, a vial of acid, three gold buttons worth a total of 2 GP, a penknife, two felt blotters, a bottle of
sand, four sticks of sealing wax, and a small volume of poetry authored by Birkaby Long·Arm. Behind the desk chair is
a small, heavy wooden safe with an iron padlock that contains the cash box with funds for the daily operation of the
Inn. Usually, it holds 35 GP, 125 SP, and 135 CP. Two oil lamps hung on the east wall on eitherside of the desk shed
light into the room when the shutters are closed over the windows. A secret door in the northeast corner of the room
leads to a vault under the stair landing in which the owner keeps his treasures. The vault contains four tapestries valued
at 100 GP each, a silver goblet worth 50 GP, a gold Dagger set with three small Emeralds worth 450 GP, a sack con-
taining 350 GP, a sack containing 427 SP, a sack containing 3 Opals worth 15 GP each, 4 Rubies worth 10 GP each, 2
Jades worth 20 GP each, and an Aquamarine worth 7 GP, and a carefully folded pirate's flag.

4. This is the laundry room (20' x 35') where all the patrons who rent rooms on the second floor must have their apparel
washed (1 GP) upon registering at the Inn. The door in the west wall is the only entrance. Two windows in the north
wall are protected by iron bars and can be covered with wooden shutters at night and during bad weather. Iron candle
holders affixed to the walls at regular intervals provide light to the room when the shutters are closed. Shelves line the
west wall. These are stacked with fresh linen for the beds and clean towels and washing cloths. Two tables are provided
for use in folding and sorting laundry. On a low platform in the northeast corner are two large vats used for doing the
actual washing of the laundry. Small holes in the platform allow excess water to drain into a large sewer drain beneath
the platform. Water for the washing is heated in large iron kettles over the fire that burns continually in the fireplace in
the east wall. The northern end of the room contains racks used for drying the laundry. If the players wish to search
through the pile of dirty clothing by the platform in the northeast corner, they may find 2 GP per minute of searching
up to 12 GP.
38 Pegastls
5. The servants' room (18 x 35) is simple and bare. The only entrance is in the south wall, and the two windows in the
north wall are barred and may be covered by wooden interior shutters with iron fasteners. A fireplace in the center of
the west wall provides the only heat lind light available. A large table sits on either side of the fireplace, but no chairs
are provided. The tables are bare, and it is here that the servants are expected to take their meals when not needed to
work in the Inn. A chamber JX)t sits in the northwest corner of the room. Five plain oots with straw ticks covered by
cotton sheets and woolen blankets are arrayed along the east wall of the room. At the foot of each bed is a wooden
chest with no lock that contains the clothing and footgear of each servant. There is nothing of value in any of them.

6. The kitchen area, 30' x 40', is entered through swinging double doors in the northwest corner. A large double fireplace
oa:upies the north wall. Iron kettles hang on hinged iron arms over the fire and an iron cricket rests amid the ashes on
the hearth. Pots, pans, and other large cooking utensils as well as rush and reed baskets, two fishnets, and several iron
cleavers hang on hooks on the north wall at either side of the fireplace. Wood is stacked in the northeast corner near the
fireplace. Along the east and west walls are shelves containing baskets and crocks of foodstuffs, a huge crock of salt, and
II few gins jars which hold fare spices.North of the door in the east wall that leads to the food storage room is a rack
th.t hokts four barrels; one barret contains beer, one contains ale, one contains wine, and one contains water. Ropesof
Ox Sausage festoon the ceiling, hanging from the beams on iron hooks. The west wall is lined with shelves piled high
with smaller cooking utensils, bowls, trenchers, pletes, mugs, and eating utensils. Two tables in the southern teetion of
the room are used for preparing food, and the large oak butcher block near the center of the room is stained with blood
despite regular cleansing by the servants. The three windows along the south wall ere all barred and have wooden shut·
lers with iron fasteners to ctose them at night and during bad weather. An oil~amp chandelier hangs from the ceiling to
provide further light for the cooks. 8eneath two of the windows in the south wall is a low table holding two Ilrge pins
used to hold the wiler for washing dishes. Several drying towels hang on hooks attached to the ends of the tlble. The
pegged floor is kept spotlessly ctean by the servants, who sweep it several times a day with the corn broom standing
behind the door. Beneath one of the preparation tebles is a keg of sand used to absorb any grease spilled on the floor.

7. The storeroom, 18' x 30', has double swinging doors giving access from the kitchen. The windowless room is lined with
shelves full of foods in varying stages of preservation. The lower shelves hold baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables, and
the upper shelves contain jars of pickled, salted, and preserved meats, fruits, and vegetables. Huge rounds of Goat Cheese
hang in net holders from hooks fastened to the support beams of the shelves. On the floor, sacks of wheat and rice flour,
wonn meal, potatoes, salt, and kelp are piled. Near the southern wall are stacks of barrels containing pickled fish,
smoked and salted Otter, brined cucumbers, cauliflower, and loveapples, honey, wine, ale, rum, beer, and mead. Several
smoked hlms hang from the beamed ceiling. Crates containing citrus fruits, onions, and cabbages are stacked in the cen·
ter of the room. The room is lit by several oil lamps suspended on hooks from the beamed ceiling.

The Second Floor

There are seventeen rooms on the second floor; forty-three ~e$t can be accommodated here without crowding them.
The floors of all the rooms are varnished wood with no carpet, and the walls are whitewashed lathe·and·plaster. Each room
contains a number of chests equal to the number of beds in the room for storing the clothing and personal belongings of the
occupants, so the contents of the chests will vary with the occupants and will not be included in the room descriptions. The
beds are all made of oak with tied springs and have straw ticks covered with cotton sheets and woolen blankets. Single beds
have one feather pillow, and double beds usually have two to four feather pillows. There are two suites on the second floor,
each sleeping four people and having its own water chamber holding a chamber pot and a shelf with wash basin, soap, and
towels. The occupants of the other rooms must use the communal chamber pots stored in the two designated rooms, with the
exception of the large communal sleeping room on the south side of the building. Rooms 14, 16, 18,20, and 22 are especially
favored by mercenaries and bandits because they have no outsidewindows;the only entrances to these rooms are through the
single doors, which make the rooms easier to guard and defend in case of attack. A small lounge area has been created in a pub-
lic area of the second floor by the guests who have, over the years, brought chairs out of the individual rooms and grouped
them about the fireplace. All the rooms, as well as the 10'wideand70'Iong corridor traversing the center of the building, are
lit by oil lamps hung on the walls and by candles in candlestands on the tables or desks in the rooms.

8. This room, 18' x 25' is one of a suite of rooms. The door from the hall opens inward, as do all of the doors to the
sleeping rooms, to reveal two comfortable couches on a large area rug. A Fireplace in the east wall is flanked by several
shelves which hold seashells, driftwood, and small, carved replicas of boats. A desk and chair are positioned beneath one
of the two windows in the north wall. The contents of the desk depend on the occupant of the room. The windows may
be closed againstdlrkness or foul weather by oaken shutters with sturdy iron fasteners. A table is against the south wall,
Ind I door in the east wall gives aa:ess to the bedroom beyond.

Pegasus 39
9, This 20' x 25' room is the bedroom of the suite. A clothing trunk is set at the foot of each of the four beds arranged
along the eastern wall. Two wood and canvas chairs are grouped in the southwest corner of the room by the fireplace,
and another sits in the northwest corner beside the entry to this room from the sitting room. On the other side of the
fireplace on the west wall is a large table, above which is hung a silvered mirror. Wood for the fireplace is stacked on the
hearth between the fireplace and the table. The window in the north wall can be closed against darkness or foul weather
by interior shutters fastened with a sturdy hook. A door in the southern wall leads to the private washing room that ser·
vices this suite.

10. The private wash area of the suite is a 5' x 10' room containing a shelf holding a wash basin, yellow soap, and a clean
towel, and a chimber pot. On the west wall of the chamber is a door of iron bars that may only be opened from inside
the chamber. It gives access to two small hatches which, when opened enable the user of the chamber pot to place it in-
side the chamber pot storage room. A servant checks these rooms several times a day and empties the chamber pots if
necessary, making it unnecessary for the servants of the Inn to enter the private suites when they are occupied. This
helps to eliminate charges by wealthy adventurers, bandits, and pirates that the servants of the Inn have removed some
of the wealth of the occupants of the room in the course of their cleaning duties and provides more privacy for the
patrons of the Inn. Other chamber POts are also stored in the small 2Y,z' x 5' area for use by the customers occupying
the less expensive quarters in the Inn.

11. This 18' x 25' room is the sitting room of a suite of two rooms. A large area rug covers most of the pegged floor, and a
small coud'l upholstered in green v~vet sits upon it. A larger couch upholstered in the same material is against the east
wall 'acing the stone fireplace on the west wall. The fireplace is flanked by shelves holding a few books of adventure fie·
tion and history as well as an assortment of cheap trinkets, part of the collection of the owner of the Inn which he uses
as decoration. One of the cheap trinkets, however, is a small leaden box with a curious, raised inscription on the lid. Un-
known to the owner of the Inn, a copper piece placed within the box will become two copper pieces in a day's time. The
box is big enough for only two copper pieces, so one must be removed in order for the original copper piece to repro-
duce. Obviously, if the box is removed from the Inn, and the players return later to that room, this particular item will
not be part of the description of the room. A desk and a wooden desk chair are situated beneath one of the two win-
dows in the northern wall. The contents of the desk depend upon the occupant or occupants of the room. The two wi..,·
daws can be dosed against the darkness or foul weather by wooden shutters fastened with iron hooks. In addition, green
velvet drapes may be drawn across the windows to keep out the drafts. A wood and canvas chair sits beside the door to
the bedroom of this suite in the west wall, and a large table is positioned against the south wall next to the door that
provides entrance to this room from the hall.

12. A double bed is positioned beneath each of the two windows in the west wall of this 20' x 25' bedroom. This room was
obvious'y intended for the wealthiestofthe Inn's clients; green velvet curtains are draped along each bed toward its head
and drawn upward toward a wooden valance carved to resemble the prow of a ship. Green velvet curtains are also draped
on either side of each of the three windows, but only those over the window in the northern wall can be drawn across
the window, although all three of the windows can be closed with wooden shutters to keep out the night air or bad
weather. Between the two double beds, two flat-topped clothing chests are arranged along the western wall. On each
chest sits a brass candlestand holding a single candle. At the foot of each double bed is another clothing chest. Two
chairs upholstered in green velvet are clustered in the southeast corner beside the fireplace, and a table is positioned
against the eastern wall on the other side of the fireplace. A watercolor of a pirate ship hangs on green velvet cord from
a hook set in the ceiling just in front of the stone fireplace. A wood and canvas chair is positioned in the northeast cor·
ner of the room beside the door leading to the sitting room. A door in the southern wall gives access to the private
washing room of this suite.

13. The private washing room of this suite is plainly furnished with a chamber POt and a washbasin set on a wooden shelf.
Beside the washbasin lie two soft towels and a bar of yellow soap. A silvered mirror hangs on the western wall above
the shelf. The eastern wall has a door made of iron bars set into it that can only be opened from within this private
chamber. On the other side of the door, the wall has two small hatches that give access to the chamber pot storage
closet beyond and enable the occupants of this suite to set their used chamber pot within the storage closet to be emp-
tied by one of the servants of the Inn. This eliminates the need for the servants to enter the suite frequently and pro-
vides more privacy for the occupants. Other chamber pots are also stored in the small 2Y,' x 5' area for use by the cus-
tomers occupying the less expensive quarters in the Inn.

14. This 20' x 23' sleeping room is a favorite with groups of bandits and pirates who might need a safe place to spend the
night because it has no windows, making the entrance in the north wall easily defensible. Beside ead1 of the four beds
in the room is a wood and canvas chair, and at the foot of each bed is a clothing trunk. Three of the beds are arranged
along the eastern wall, and the fourth rests in the southwest corner of the room. A dressing table against the west wall
of the room has a tin mirror hanging above it, and pegs along the wall between the door and the table provide places to
hang cloaks and hats or girdles with sheaths and Shields.

15. Two occupants can rest comfortably on the single beds in this windowless, interior room. The room is 18' x 21' and the
only entrance is through the door from the hall in the west wall. A wood and canvas chair sits beside each of the two
beds arranged in the northeastern and northwestern corners, and the clothing trunks for each bed are against the east and
west walls. A brass candlestand with asingle candle sits atop the desk positioned against the southern wall, and the chair
drawn up to the desk is made of cherrywood. The contents of the desk depend upon the occupants of the room. A
dressing table stands in the southeast corner of the room, and a tin mirror hangs on the eastern wall above it. Pegs on the
east and west walls beside the beds provide places to hang clothing or weapons.

16. An interior room for three, this lB' x 21' sleeping room is easily defended due to the lack of windows and the single
door from the hall in the eastern wall. Two of the three beds are arranged along the western wall with their clothing
trunks placed between them, and the third bed is in the southeastern corner with its clothing trunk at its foot along the
eastern wall. Two wood and canvas chairs sit near the third bed along the south wall, and a third chair is positioned at
the foot of one of the beds near the northern wall. A crude drawing of Mermaids gathering pearls hangs above the chair
on the north wall.

17. The three beds in this 21' x 20' room are spaced evenly along the west wall with the two shuttered windows between
them. During the daytime, the iron fasteners may be unhooked and the wooden shutters drawn back to provide light
for the room. At the foot of each bed is a clothing chest, and a dressing table flanked by two wood and canvas chairs is
set against the eastern wall. On the south wall is a desk and chair; the contents of the desk depend upon the occupants
of the room.

18. This windowless, 20' x 23' room can house four, and is easily defended due to the solitary ent "lee at the southwest
corner. Three of the four beds are arrayed along the eastern wall, and the fourth is in the north"".st corner. All of the
beds have clothing chests set at their feet. Each bed has a wood and canvas chair next to it, and a dressing table is
positioned against the western wall beside the door. A tin mirror hangs above the dressing table.

19. Two occupants may be comfortably housed in this lB' x 21' sleeping room which features a large stone fireplace on the
southern wall to provide heat and light. The fireplace, the easy defense of the windowless, single·entranced room, and
the relative privacy it affords make this one of the more expensive of the smaller sleeping rooms. A dressing table is set
along the western wall beside the door giving access to this room from the hall. Beside the dressing table is a wood and
canvas chair. The two beds are arranged along the eastern wall with their clothing chests beside them in the corners of
the room. A desk, the contents of which depend upon the occupants of the room, and a desk chair sit against the north
wall, and another wood and canvas chair is beside the desk. On the mantle of the fireplace are several shells and pieces
of driftwood and an enameled tin container used to hold pipeweed, now empty.

20. This small interior room is barely large enough to hold three guests. It is 18' x 17Y, and has a single door in the eastern
wall giving access from the hall. Two of the three beds are against the northern wall, and the third is placed in the
southwestern corner. One clothing trunk is at the foot of one of the beds along the north wall, but the clothing chest of
the other bed is beside it next to the north wall. Beside that clothing chest is a wood and canvas chair, and in the north·
east and northwest corners are pegs set in the walls to provide places to hang clothing or weapons. Another wood and
canvas chair is against the west wall beside the third bed, and the third trunk is placed at the foot of the bed along the
south wall. More clothing pegs are set in the south wall at the southeast corner, and a third wood and canvas chair sits
beside the door in the east wall.

21. A double bed rather than two single beds is the outstanding feature of this comfortable lB' x 20' room for two. The bed
is set into a slight alcove on the southern side of the room, and the two clothing trunks are placed at the side of the bed
and at the foot between the two windows in the western wall. The windows have wooden interior shutters fastened with
iron hooks which may be closed against the night air or bad weather, but they also have curtains of a vividly-striped
material which may be drawn across the windows to protect against drafts. Two wood and canvas chairs are set in the
northeast corner of the room, and a dressing table is set along the northern wall. On the dressing table is a brass candle-
holder with a single candle, and a tin mirror hangs above the table. A desk with a wooden chair is positioned on the east
wall; the contents of the desk depend UPO(l the oa:upants of the room. The door to the room is in the southern wall.

Pegasus 41
 22. This 18' x 22' sleeping room holds three guests. Two of the beds are by the south wall, and the third is against the north
wall. A clothing chest sits next 10 one of the beds by the south wall, and clothing pegs line the west wall. Also by the
west wall is a wood and canvas chair. Between the entry to this windowless room in the northern wall and the bed that
rests by the north wall, a wood and canvas chair and a flat-topped clothing chest are arrayed. A brass candleholder with
a single candle sits atop the clothing chest. Another clothing chest with a wood and canvas chair beside it sits along the
eastern wall near the foot of one of the beds.

23. A spacious 20' x 20', this room is appointed for two occupants who don't mind sharing the double bed placed in the
small alcove in the northwest corner of the room. One of the two clothing chests sits beside the entry to the room in
the north wall, and the other is positioned toward the foot of the bed between the two windows in the west wall. This
room is somewhat more elegantly appointed than the other sleeping rooms; the shuttered windows are covered with
red velvet drapes, and a white bearskin is draped across the double bed. The room is much favored by the female pirates
who frequent the Wayfarer Inn, despite the lack of easy defense. An ornately-<:arved cherrywood desk and a matching
chair with a red velvet cushion sit along the southern wall. Above the desk is an etching of a moonlit landscape, and
beside the desk is a wood and canvas chair. Another wood and canvas chair sits beside the cherry wood dressing table
against the eastern wall, and a silvered mirror in a gilt frame hangs above the dressing table. A brass candlestand holding
a single cindie Ind a small crystal fingerbowl Ire set Itop the dressing table. The fingerbowl is bolted to the dressing
table to discourage Its removal.

24. This irregularly-shaped room is about 20' x 25' and houses two guests quite comfortably. The two beds Ire positioned
liang the eastern walls with two wood and canvas chairs set between them. At the foot of one of the beds is a clothing
trunk, Ind the other clothing trunk is in the northeast corner beside the second bed. A dressing table sits against the
westarn Will, and a desk with I wooden desk chlir is 19ainst the northern wall. Two windows in the southern, oblique
wall mlY be unshuttered during the day to provide light to the room, but the sturdy iron hooks close them fast aglinst
the dlrkness Ind bad weather. Pegs for hinging clothing or weapons are set into the west wall between the dressing
table and the southwest corner.

25. This is the only room on the second floor which is permanently rented, although the occupant is seldom in it. The room
is rented to an old Pirate turned Bard who spends much of his time below in the main bar or on the docks watching the
ships come and go. The bed of 8ardache the GriZZled, although made like the other beds in the Inn, is covered by several
blue silk quilts, and the intricately carved tusk of a Tusked Whale hangs above the headboard on the east wall. At the
foot of the bed, instead of the usual clothing chest, is an old, battered, iron-bound seachest containing 8lrdache's
clothes, two steel Cutlasses, several strings of glass beads worth 1 SP each, a gold nose·ring worth 5 GP, a silver-embossed
teakwood box with blue velvet lining worth 16 GP and containing a severed Human hand well preserved, a leather bag
holding 145 SP, 134 CP, and a 81ue Diamond worth 50 GP, and a small leather pouch containing an ivory toothpick.
Another trunk of the common, flat-topped house variety contains several pairs of leather boots, a silver Dagger worth
15 GP, a catoO-nine-tails, 42 CP scattered about the bottom, and a locked, iron box holding a silver ring set with an
Emerald worth 27 GP, 34 GP, and a carefUlly-folded pirate's flag with a large hole burned in the center. The dressing
table against the northern wall holds a set of silver-handled combs with ivory teeth worth 45 GP, a silver-handled mirror
worth 35 GP, and a boar-bristle brush with an Onyx handle worth 145 GP. Above the dressing table, a silvered mirror
is hung, and several hooks on the walls beside the dressing table hold a variety of hair ribbons for use in tying back 8ar-
dache's ponytail. Two wood and canvas chairs sit in the southeast corner of the room next to the oak desk with an oak
desk chair. Upon the desk are several quills, a bottle of ink, a parchment sheet, and a brass candelabra holding three
candles. Within the desk are more quills and bottles of ink, several sheets of parchment, a steel straight-razor, a penknife,
a brass buttonhook, two ivory buttons, and a volume of unfinished songs, some authored by Bardache and some by Bir-
kaby Long-Arm. Along the western wall of the room are several roughly-built shelves holding scrolls of songs and books
of poetry. A little-used Lute hangs on the wall in the northwest corner, near the door. The twowindO'Ns in the south
wall may be covered by wooden shutters with sturdy iron hooks against the night air, but the deep blue burlap curtains
hung on either side of them are for decorative purposes only and cannot be drawn.

26. Ten beds line the walls of this irregularly-shaped common sleeping room. In the southwestern corner of this approxi-
mately 25' x 50' room is a stone fireplace with four wood and canvas chairs drawn up before it. Four beds are positioned
along the southern wall between the windows, each with its clothing chest beside it beneath all but one of the five shut-
tered windows. Another bed is along the west wall between the two windows on that wall. Its clothing chest sits at the
foot of the bed. Five beds are arrayed along the northern wall, each with its clothing chest beside it. The door to the
room is in the northern wall at the northeastern corner. In the southeastern corner, a gaily·striped curtain suspended from
the ceiling by copper chains conceals a chamber pot and a small shelf attached to the east well and holding I wash basin,
I bar of yellow soap, and several soft towels. A tin mirror, badly scratched, hangs above the shelf.

 Watchtower of Sentia

Along the River Madron lies the Watchtower of Sentia, forgotten but to a few, and the dungeon below it wherein evil
experiments were strangely wrought. Now, strange and hungry creatures have recently taken up residence there. The local
farmers, not used to unearthly encounters, are encouraging passing adventures to in~estigate this ruined Watchtower with its
"hidden treasures". They mention that "8 few petty annoyances might resent the party's presence there, but surely a blow or
two from those wicked looking Swords will easily disperse them".

Room 1 (40' x 60)

Inside the entrance, there will be three Ghouls: HIT 002, HTK 010 - 011 - 012, NOA 003, DPA 4/3/6, SPD 12', SIZ 6',
ALN CEX, ARM 030, INT 153, PSY 153, MRT OSO, SPA Paralvze with Touch, Saving Throw of CON or less on 1D20, RAD
100, POR 100, FOD Human Meat, L1F Undead, AGL 103. Thev are guarding the room. Thev have no weapons but strike as
if trying to disperse intruders. One of the Ghouls has a Gold Kev around his neck. The door on the west leads to Room 2, the
door on the east to Room 3.

Room 2 (SO' x SO')

Three Skeletons: HIT 002, HTK 006 - 007 - 008, NOA 001, DPA 006, SPD 16', SIZ 6', ALN NXX, ARM 042, INT 103,
PSY 103, MRT 090, SPA None, RAD 100, PaR 100, lIF Undead, AGL 114. These three Skeletons will be assembling new
Skeletons from the remains of old, eaten corpses. One will always be on guard, $0 surprise by the party is impossible. The new
Skeletons, being non.-enchanted, will not animate, but, of course, both the party and the active Skeletons are not aware of
that. Skeletons will be armed with Hammers, Mallets, pens, and glue pots. Two will be wearing Longswords sheathed in jewel-
encrusted Scabbards (200 GP value each). The Swords, though thev glow with a grev light, are non-magical in nature.

Room 3 (30' x SO')

The door to Room 3 is inscribed in runic script; when translated, it reads "Treasure Room". Of course, there is no treasure
here. When the room is entered, the characters will discover a great stench from the garbage pit which oomprises 98% of this
room. The pit is 30 feet deep and littered with the remains of Human and other unidentifiable lifeless creatures. No treasure
will be found since the Ghouls and others are verv careful to search the rubbish before thev dispose of it. Anvone searchind
for more than 2 minutes must roll under CON score on 306 or pass out from the stench. Anyone searching for more than 4
minutes will risk catching a skin rash. Roll under CON on 3D6 to avoid this.

Room 4 (70' x 120')

This is the Cafeteria, Kitchen and Serving Area. Three long tables running north-so'uth are along the west wall, with full table
settings and benches for 20 guests. A frightened Goblin bV the east wall is stirring a huge cauldron. Goblin: HIT 002, HTK
007, NOA 001, DPA 002, SPD 24', SIZ 4', ALN CNE, ARM 005, INT 103, PSY 103, MRT 010, SPN None, RAD 010,
PaR 020, FOD Meat, L1F 20 vr, AGL 115. The scent of roast beef mixed with other smells (cooked flesh, etc.) permeates
the air. Along the north wall is a row of skulls, Elves, Men, Dwarves, Cattle, Hogs, Halflings, Goblins, Trolls, and Wolf. Inside
the hog skull are two Sapphire Gems, each worth 500 GP.

Room 5 (SO' x SO')

This is the Barracks area. 15 beds line the north wall. Goblin skulls with torches in their mouths line the east wall. If anv
torches are removed, alarms will sound automatically. On the south wall are mounted arms, Short Swords, Longswords,
Javelins, Polearms, and Axes, which once belonged to earlier adventurers. Other items are placed on a high shelf including 2
potions, Soaring and Forgetfulness, one Ring of Strength Draining, and an Adamantite Dagger. Eight Orc Guards are always
on dutV. Orcs: HIT 003, HTK 006 - 007 - 007·007 - 008 - 008 - 009 - 009, NOA 001, DPA 006, SPD 24', SIZ 5', ALN CEX,
ARM 055, PF% 030, INT 103, PSY 103, MRT 010, SPA None, WPN Anv, RAD 010, POR 020, FOD Meat, LIF 20 vrs.,
AG L 112. The east wall is a secret door leading to Room 6.

Room 6 (10' diameter, 5' radius)

This is a spiral staircase. The trapdoor in the ceiling, leading to the landing which is all that is left of the 2nd Level, is pinned
bV rubble. Anv attempt to force the door up will Iiterallv bring the roof down on the partv. The stairs leading down to the
dungeon level are pressure-sensitive; a roll of 1 or 2 on a 1D6 will trigger the trap. On a result of 1, five concealed darts will
shoot from the stairs doing 3 points damage and hitting on a roll of 1 - 3 on a 1D20. On the roll of 2, three jets of flame shoot
from the steps doing one point of damage each, hitting on 1 - 8 on a 1D20. The Judge should also check for clothes catching
on fire (roll of 1 on 1061 if that trap is triggered. At the bottom of the stairs is a door to the west.

Room 1 (SO' x 60')

This is the Armory. Two Human Smithies are working by the anvils, pounding out Swords. They are chained to the north wall
and watched over by four Orc Guards: ALN CEX, HIT 003, HTK 006 ·007·007·008, ARM 065, AGL 112, WPN IHL. If
assaulted, one Orc will tell the party to back off or he will kill the Smithies. Another will yell for 4·8 more Guards to rein-
force them from Room 5. Along the south wall are three magic Axes (add 1 to damage attacks and 2 to dice rolls for striking).
four magic Longswords (add 2 to damage attacks and 1 to rolls for striking). and five normal Shields of adamantite alloys.
Standard Armorer's tools are spread throughout the room. The forge is on the north wall. The Smithies are anxious to see
their families before they become Orc meals like their predecessors and, given the opportunity. are courageous enough to at·
tack the guards.

A local peasant, Garvid is very angry at his captors and wants to obliterate them all. He knows the overall physical layout of
the place but not where the traps are.

Kadin just wants out, though he will help the party fight. The only captors he really hates are the Goblins.

The door to the south leads to Room 5; the door to the west leads to the hall corridor. The east/west corridor stones
are also pressure-sensitive. On a roll of 1 or 2 on a 106, the trap is sprung. Spears will emerge from both walls on the roll of 1,
hitting on a roll of 1 ·4 on 1020, and doing 4 points of damage. On 2, a spray of acid will spew from the cracks between the
stone IIoor doing 1 point of damage to both IIesh (heaven help any who are sprayed in the eyes), and cheap armor, as well as
any items carried out in the open. In the corridor is one secret door; a roll of 4 or below on 206 will reveal it. This door leads
to Room 4. One visible door, inscribed with runes, is on the west wall.

Room 2 (70' x 50')

The door on the Lab, if not properly examined (roll of 1,2, or 3 on a 106 will be sufficient for searching) and disarmed, will
release an electrical shock for 6 points of damage. Simple magical negation spells will disarm the runes. Inside the room are
two Zombie Guards by the door, who will pull the red sash by the north wall to summon help from the Torture Chamber.

Clara resents her position and feels she should be in charge of the entire installation. She is sullen and inclined to resent intru-
sion by anyone. She will try to take care of any invaders with the Guards on hand before calling for reinforcements.

Karid is working extremely hard to gain a higher level of competence and knowledge. While obeying Clara's orders for now,
she wants to take her place as soon as she can. She will fight any intruders but will not be inclined to protect Clara's back.

Sleena is a supporter of Karid, but doesn't have all that much skill or patience in her trade. She will defend herself or Karid

Rissa doesn't like either faction and doesn't want to play politics. She will defend herself but is not likely to help any of her
colleagues, fleeing the first chance she gets.

Five Goblins are also in the room, armed with Short Swords: ALN CEN, HIT 002, HTK 005·006·007·007·007,
ARM 050, AGL 115. The Goblins are here to guard and follow the orders of the Assistants. All along the north and south
walls are beakers, glass vials, and other breakable glassware. If two beakers are mixed together, there is a 55% probability of
an explosion doing 10 points of damage to all in the room. Completed on the south wall are the following shelved Potions:
Dragon Influence, Undead Repellent, Fearsome Fire (bums for two hours· do not swallow), Vampire Repellent, and Quick
Poison (guarenteed results in 30 seconds); and two books, Spells of Necromancy and Book of Shifting Alignments, which will
cause 4 points of damage to any who touch them and which will then disintegrate. Behind the west wall is a panel (hidden
door to the corridor leading to Room 3). To activate the panel door, one of CEX Alignment must touch it. The corridor is
booby·trapped to release 4 Spears from the ceiling if a LEX or LGX steps on the floor. The spears hit on a 1 ·4 on 1020 and
do 8 points of damage.

Room 3 (30' x 30'1

The door on the east cannot be unlocked unless one has the Gold Key. This is Sentia's old private Lab and his Skeleton in its
dark robes guards the room. He fights as a LVL 051 Warrior, although the party should first think he is a Liche.

Sentia just doesn't want to leave this room and would be perfectly content to putter around in this room for the next couple
of centuries. He resents intrusion but is not particularly inclined to fight unless forced.

Lining his walls on shelves are 2 Potions of Undead Banishment, 2 Potions of Deception, 2 Potions of Magical Negation,
a Potion of Eternal Slumber, and one unfinished experiment. This bubbling vial sitting above a cold oil lamp has preserved
his Undead status. If the vial breaks or he moves SO' from it, he will collapse after 60 seconds.

Room 4 (70' x 80')

This room is concealed by the hidden door from the north wall of the first corridor. To reach the room, one must traverse
the corridor without springing the dart traps. A roll of 1 or 2 will trigger the hidden darts. Such a roll means that one of the
adventurers accidently brushed the east or west wall setting off the trap. The 3 darts hit on a 1 ·4 on 1020 and do 3 points
of damage each. The corridor will also echo loud noises (such as a clanking armored party) because of the acoustics. There is
no door to Room 4. This is the Torture Chamber. Inside of the room, there is 1m excellent array of punishing tools. By the
far end of the east wall is a Goblin pulling a dead victim out of the iron maiden. To his right is a compatriot still stretching
a dead young Halfling on the rack. On the south wall are two sleepy prisoners hanging 6' above the ground in their chains.
By the west wall, a Ghoul is flaying what was once a Female Elf. On the north wall, three Zombies are flailing a disfigured
Fighter chained to the wall. In the northwest corner, a Ghoul is watching over a boiling pot of oil. In the center of the room
are ten Orc Guards talking to the present master of this dungeon, a Werewolf. The Werewolf, in his Human form, is wearing a
leather pouch, an Amulet of Undead Manipulation, an iron Icon of Fearsome Dread, and a Short Sword. Goblins: ALN CEN,

General Description

In sight of Boughrune, there lies the citadel of Stone Inn (Hex 3412, Judges Guild City State Campaign Map One). There
is no greenery in the immediate vicinity for a 2 mile radius because the present owner had it cleared away. The structure is
circular in design with a high watch tower on the south wall. There is only one entrance, near the watch tower. a large, 6'
wide stone door. The wall is 30' high and 5' thick and is constructed around a 90' exterior diameter. The tower is 50' high
and 20' in diameter. The walls are of a grey limestone and have no decorative design and no apparent windows to relieve the
monotony of the exterior. In the upper part of the stone tower are two windows through which can be seen two Mail-dad
Guards with Crossbows. Entry to the tower does not appear to be possible from the outside of the Inn, and the only apparent
entry to the Inn is through the door adjacent to the tower.

Past History

The Stone Inn was originally a defensive citadel build by Gnolls against Goblins some 500 yea" ago. During the course
of along and costly war, it fell into the Emperor's hands. The Emperor then decided to erect the present watch tower to sate-
guard the stone citadel and create a stable fortre.. in the area. As time passed, the power of the Goblins was broken in this
region, and the importance of the citadel declined. Finally, there was no need to maintain such a citadel in the area because
the threat had expired.
The Emperor sold the citadel to a local Baron about 100 yea" ago, and the Baron, some yea" later, resold the building
to another Baron. The present owner purchased it 20 yea" ago and converted it into an inn. The Baron Morgain ran the Inn
himself for a number of yea" before he tired of it. Succumbing to a bad case of wanderlust, he hired a notorious general
manager, Smiter Smye, to operate it in his place. The Baron had built up a respectable and highly successful business. Smiter
maintains its quality and service, though for no other reason than to embezzle funds from the profits.
Smiter is the only one who is aware of the trapdoor in the fi"t level of the tower. He is ignorant of the fact that the
tunnel is lined with booby traps set by the Gnolls who built the corridor as an escape long before the Emperor's troops oc-
cupied the citadel and built a watch tower above it. The Baron, however, is aware of the trapdoor, the tunnel, and the booby-
traps.

Interior Description

 The Watch Tower

A heavy wooden door on the north leads into the tower. To the immediate right is the stone staircase spiraling along
the wall up to the second level. Further to the right are three 5' x 5' cells for holding troublesome guests or trespassers. A trap
door is concealed under some crates in the southern section of the tower. It leads to a tunnel which extends some 2,000 feet
east before leading to the surface.
On the second level of the tower are three benches and three water jugs. Three of the four Guards who are here take up
posts near a window, and one makes hourly rounds of the building, checking on the Common Room, the Sleeping Room, and
the General Office. Each window Guard has a pot of oil beside his post for defensive purposes. Extra weapons are also kept at
this level. It contains 2 Spears, 2 Longswords,4 metal Shields, and 5 Daggers.

The Tunnel

After lifting the door to the tunnel, the character finds that there is a 6' drop from the surface to the floor of the tunnel.
There is a pressure-sensitive trap at the beginning of the tunnel which releases five Darts from the south wall doing 3 HTK of
damage per Dart. A roll of 5 or less on a 1020 indicates that the Darts have hit. 500 feet further down the corridor, a trip wire
is rigged. When activated, it releases 3 Arrows from the north side that do 4 HTK of damage each. A roll of 6 or less on 1020
indicates that the Arrows have hit. 1,500 feet farther down the corridor, a Spear trap is concealed in the south wall. Cobwebs
block the tunnel. If removed, they trigger 3 Spears which hit on a roll of 7 or less on 1020 for 8 HTK of damage each. The
remainder of the tunnel is safe. lithe trap door to the surface is lifted by the handle, a poison needle trap is released for 4 HTK
of damage per needle. Six needles comprise the trap, end each needle will hit upon a roll of 8 or less on 1020.

Penonnel

Smiter Smye, the General Manager of the Stone Inn, is a calculating, middle-aged man who knows the value of a copper.
He once belonged to the tax collection branch of the Emperor's Revenue Department but was ousted because it was suspected
but could not be proven that he misused funds. Since that time, he has worked with tax collecting bodies in one way or
another, always getting more than his fair share of the profits. When he applied for his present position, he was careful to re-
veal only a small part of the truth about his past. He is cold and devious. He is a Half-Elf.

 The Hall of Velus

In the Forest of the Crying Wood (Hex 3423, Judge. Guild Campaign Map Four). is an old, ruined hall, once a great
dwelling for the mysterious Elven Lord, Vel us, but now reduced to rubble through the desolation wrought by a rebel Vasthost
regiment. The rebel leader, Waylor, himself fled this hall with the remnants of his men, claiming that a terrible evil was un-
earthed there. The locals who dare to live in the area claim it was Velus' spirit that he saw and that no real danger is entombed
within. They also talk of Velus' jeweled crown and a forgotten Wand of Frost which never appeared outside the forest area
after the fall of Vel us' stronghold and Waylor's route by the spirit of Vel us. Vel us' kinsmen offer 3,000 GP for the return of
the crown.

Outer Grounds

There will alwavs be two horses outside the ruins of the hall itself; one horse, a black steed, waiting for Wavlor, and a
silver mare waiting for Velus. They will be grazing together by the entrance to the hall. If one listens closely, one will hear the
two arguing about who owns the hall. Their argument will be in the Common Tongue and easily understood although hard to
hear. If touched or noisily approached, both will vanish immediately. Before the player-eharaeters cross the threshold of the
ruin., a Ghostly figure resembling an Elven Warrior will materialize before them, bearing a Great Spear.
The Ghost will say, "Beware your life, if vou seek Cl"own or staff." It will then vanish. If an Elf approaches the en·
tmlCe while the Ghost is there, it will selute the Elf as if in epprovel of his or her mission.

The Hall

The double doors are damaged, requiring a few minutes to pry one open.

Room Cl: 40' x 40'. The first chamber is protected by a trap. After the doors are forced, 3 Spears will fall from the ruined
ceiling into the center of the chamber as a warning. These Spears are rusty and not worth using in combat. One
of the sulHluman inhabitants has rigged this trap and will reset it within 2 ho... if it is triggered. In.ide the cor-
ridor, on both sides, are discarded bones, partiallv-devoured meat, and other wastes. A small Wolfwere cub is
nibbling at the remains of a Human. Woifwere: HTK:008; DPA: 008; AGL: 163; SIZ: 3'; ARM: U2O; PY%: 010;

of the corridor are the skull and Helmet of an Elf. His rusted, shattered Sword has two small gems concealed in
the hilt. Near Room 2 on the east side is a half-eonsumed human carcass under which lie two megic Arrows which
add 4 points to damage rolls in a crushed quiver. Outside Room 3 on the west wall crawls the Skeleton of a
Human warrior. He begs for release from his torment. Smashing the skull (3 HTK of damage will suffice) will
bring the 200 year old bones to rest. On his person are 20 GP, 1 SP, and a badge of the Overlord which is sewn
on his jacket. Next to the door of Room 4 are two sacks, each containing a Vial of Health. Both liquids have
become contaminated, and drinking them will cause nausea, dizziness, and loss of 3 STR points for 2 turns. By

normal. In the center of the corridor between Rooms 7 and 8 is a pair of torn Gauntlets that were once power·
ful sources of megic but are now half-ehewed and incomplete. Anyone attempting to make them function will
take 3 HTK of damage per Gauntlet.

Room 1: 20' x 25'. The door is blocked on the inside by piled junk so that no one can burst in on the occupant without
giving warning. Inside is a Madman taunting a female Elf chained to the west wall amidst a pile of rubble. He is
armed with a megic Longsword that shoots a rav of Fearsome Dread. Those struck must roll under INT on 1020

The door on the south leads to Room 12. Close examination of Room 1 reveals much rubble, debris, and cob-
webs.

Room 2: 20' \ 30'. This door is covered with invisible Elvish Runes of Protection. When touched, the victim receives
6 HTK of damage unless he or she is an Elf. After first touching the door and receiving the damage, that person
may, Hstill able, open the door. Inside are two skeletons lying upon a narrow bed covered by rotting linen. On
the dresser will be found one Pearl (fake) necklace (worth 2 CPI, 2 copper bracelets, and what appear to be 2
Diamond earrings (the "Diamonds" are glass). The real treasure is underneath the bed in a small wooden chest.
It consists of two Diamond earrings worth 35 GP each, a golden bracelet worth 250 GP, and a jevvel"mCl"usted
Dagger worth 750 GP. When the party approaches the bed, the two Skeletons will sit up and speak. They will
intone: 'What do vou want in the King's Chambers] Gol Go, before I take your life!!" The floor in this room is
rigged to a pressure-sensitive trap to make the Skeletons sit up in the bed. What they speak originates from a
Magic Message spell placed on the bed. These are really just skeletons of common Elves. The secret door to
Room 13 will not be found unless someone moves the bed, triggering the door's sliding mechanism.

Room 3: 20' x 25'. This door will open easily to complete darkness. When eyes, both Elvish and Human, adjust after a

Their weapons lie broken beside them.

Room 4: 20' x 30'. The door to this room will open if the intruders use a little force for 3 or 4 seconds. Once open, on a
roll of 3,4, or 6, 3 Spears will fire across the room from the south wall to the north. One Elf in Leather armor is
impaled by two of these Spears on the north wall. He was slain two days ago. In his scabbard is a magic Sword
(adds 2 points to damage rolls). On his finger is a Ring of Hiding which makes any creature wearing it undetec-
table by magic spells. Giant Spiders crawl around the ruins of this old armory; cobwebs abound. Behind one
cobweb is a magic Dagger with a silver coating. It does one extra point of damage. Searchers need 1 or 2 on 106
to locate it. 3 Giant Spiders: HTK: 020; OPA: 006; AGL: 143; SIZ: 8'; ARM: 009; PY%: 30; GES: 4 mos.;
PSY: 103; SPA: Poisoned 8ite; POR: 100; NIL: 003; NOA: 001; SPO: 10' per minute; FPO: Meat and blood;
ALN: NXX; PF%: 40; INT: 103; GRP: Nest; MRT: 000; RAO: 100 LIF: 1 year, Poison from their bites does 4
HTK of da~r per round until cured. Normal weapons buried in the rubble consist of 3 Battle Axes, 5 Short
Swords, 2 Longswords, and one brass Shield,

Room 5: 20' x 25', There is an empty chest in the back of this darkened room. Ghosts of dead Elvan warriors appear, but,
being non-eorporeal and LGX in ALN, they will not affect the living, They only want the party to lea... them to
rest in peace, Further searching will not reveal any treasure.

Room 6: 20' x 30'. The door to this room will glow brightly when approached. Inside are 2 Wraiths hidden in the shadows
of the east wall. When the door is touched, the glowing abruptly stops, and the adventurar takes no damage. The
first thing the party will notice in the room is a cauldron by the north wall, There is a large ladle in the cauldron
which is stirring itself, and the fragrance of freshly-cooked meat fills the room. This is unusual, to say the least,
since there is no attendant within the room or fire beneath the cauldron. The Wraiths will not attack unless at·
tacked first. Wraiths: HTK: 030; OPA: 006; AGL: 143; SIZ: 5' 10"; ARM: 012; PY%: 000; GES: N/A; PSY:
153; SPA:Cause fear and STR drain; POR: 100; NIL: 002; NOA: 001; SPO: 10' per minute; FOO: N/A; ALN:
CEX; PF%: 40; INT: 163; GRP: N/A; MRT: 90%; RAO: 100%; L1F: Undead. The cauldron is magical; it will
cook meat to perfection unattended and without fire, but it does not produce the necessary ingredients such as
water and meat. These must be provided in the usual way. It would be worth 500 GP.

Room 7: 20' x 25'. The door to this room must be forced open, If the party first listens at the door, a deep growling will
be heard from within the room followed by a loud scream. Entrance to the room will reveal a Wolfwere feeding
on a half-dead female Elven Warrior. She is in no condition to fight. Female Elven Warrior: CLS: FTR; ALN:
NXX; LVL: 031; HTK: 028; ARM: 073; PSL: 031; STR: 133; INT: 103; WIS: 092; CON: 153; OEX: 153;
CHA: 103; END: 153; AGL: 153; LED: 103; LCK: 097;PSY: 103; WPN: None. She has a broken magic Sword
and a splintered wooden Shield. Wolfwere: HTK: 020; OPA: 008; AGL: 153;SIZ: 5.8"; ARM: 035; PY%: 10;
GES: 9 mos.; PSY: 143; SPA: Ferocious Attack; POR: 100%; NIL: 001; NOA: 003; SPO: 10' per minute; FPO:
Meat and Blood; ALN: CEX; PF%: 050; INT: 143; GRP: Pack; MRT: 40%; RAO: 000; LIF: 20 years, There is
nothing of value in the room.

Room 8: 20' x 30'. A terrible stench from outside the door will warn most people to leave the area. Those attempting to
break through the door must roll 1 on a 106 to do so. Once the door is successfully breached, a pile of rotting
garbage will flow out of the doorway and into the outer hall, overwhelming anyone foolish enough to stand by
the door. Once dug out of this horrid trap, the party will notice someone or something in the shadows of the
room, laughing at them. If they venture 10' into the room, they will encounter a Troll munching upon an Elvish
hipbone as he sits on a pile of debris. Troll: HIT: 8; HTK: O4B; OPA: 006; AGL: 143; SIZ: 8' 10"; ARM: 009;
PY%: 030; GES: 14 mas; PSY: 123; SPA: Regeneration; POR: 100%; NIL: 1 - 3; NOA: 003; SPO: 6'; FOO:
Meat; RAO: 100%; L1F: 40 years.

Room 9: 15' x 20'. The door to this room is booby trapped to fire explosive Darts if touched. Any spell to identify such
or attempts to pick locks will trigger 3 Darts that explode for 8 HTK of damage each. A Dart will hit on a 1 - 4
on 1020. Inside the room are three Orc guards that react mechanically, as if under enchantment. They throw
Javelins which do 5 HTK of damage and are armed with 8astard Swords. Orcs: HIT: 003; HTK: 012; OPA: 003;
AGL: 133; SIZ: 6'; ARM: 007; PY%: 040; GES: 9 mos.; PSY: 133; SPA: None; POR: 000; NIL: 003; NOA:
003; SPO: 5'; FOO: Meat; RAO: 000; L1F: 30 years. They try to prevent anyone from reaching the west wall.

Room 10: 10' x 20'. The door to this secret room can only be discovered on a roll of 1 on 106. Inside the room is Velus'
crown resting on a satin pillow set on a carved oaken pedestal. On the north wall hangs his gold-plated Sword
worth 250 GP. If the crown is removed, a statue of a gargoyle near the south wall will announce, "All is lost;
they've found the crown."

Pegasus 59
 Room 11: 20' x 30'. The door will open easily if tested. Upon entering the room, the players will notice the blackened walls
and the number of ash mounds scattered throughout the room. First guess would suggest that someone hurled a
firey explosive charge into the room. lithe adventurers dig through the ashes, they will find 16 Elven skeletons
wearing the Coat of Arms of Vel us. Further searching will reveal a Ring of Fire Protection (now useless) on the
hand of Vel us' Sergeant at Arms.

Room 12: 20' x 25'. The door feels double locked. Two anackers with STR scores of 1B9 or the equivalent will be required
to break through. Inside, crawling over the broken remnants of furniture are 5 Giant Spiders who previously
webbed the stubborn door. Giant Spiders: HIT: 5; HTK: 020; OPA: 006; AGl: 143; SIZ: 10'; ARM: 010;
py%: 010; GES: 4 mos.; PSY: 103; SPA: Poisoned Bite; POR: 100%; Nil: 005; NOA: ool;SPO: 12' per min.;
FOO: Meat and Blood; AlN: NXX; PF%: 030; INT: 103; GRP: Nest; MRT: 000; RAO: 100%; lIF: 2 years.

Room 13: 20' x 30'. The preserved body of Velus lies in state here. By placing the crown on his head, his spirit will be set
free from its earthly bonds and sent to its rest. If the adventurers take the crown with them, Velus' spirit will
follow them, demanding its release.

 Kag's Joy
A T& T Mini Dungeon!
by Richard L. Staff
Playtesting: Ted, Ray, and Bill
Note: The running of this scenario would be greatly facilitated if the Judge had a copy of Tunnel. & Troll. tm, 5th Ed., 1979.

Background: Kag's Castle has been overrun by a large force of Orcs and Half-Orcs. Baron Kag has been forced to flee
with his family and a small band of surviving followers. Unfortunately. the Orcs caught up with him. During the ensuing battle,
all of Kag's family was killed except his daughter, Joy, who was carried away by the Orcs. After slaying the group of Orcs that
was left to mop up, Kag set out after the Orcs and his daughter with a much smaller band of followers. Out of exhaustion, he
stopped for the night to rest his men and himself. Eighteen hours later, Kag and his men are standing before the ruins of
Moorcock. Judge OnIV: The Orcs have forgotten Kag because they think he is dead. The Orcs are proceeding with their plans
for Joy. Playurs' Task: Rescue Joy or die trying. Treasure gained and monsters slain will also earn nominal Victory Points;
however, rescuing Joy earns a chestful of Victory Points.

Mutt: MR = 110, 120 + 55, 20' tall, SP = N

Jeff: MR = 56, 60 + 28, 12' tall, SP = N

Judge Only: The fire and debris contain nothing of value.

1: 4 Ghouls are against the east wall, standing guard over 2 small lether bags. They will not move to attack the party but
will guard the bags, attacking anyone getting within 10' of them. They are standing so close together that there is no way
to get to the bags without going through them. Characters taking hits from the Ghouls must make a Ll-SR on CN to
avoid paralysis. Ooor is unlocked. Judge Only: Both bags contain a total of 350 GPs. The Ghouls stand in front of a sec-
ret door which can be discovered by an Oh, There It Is spell or by searching (L3 - SR on LK).

Uno: MR = 42,50 + 21, skin armor takes 3 hits, SP = S

2: Typical empty dungeon room. There is a pile of rubbish in the northeast corner of the room. Judge Only: 1 Invisible
Balrag is standing near the secret door in the west wall. Sneaky will randomly attack a single party member (roll 1061.
After first melee round, Sneaky becomes visible. Other party members can join in the fighting on the following rounds.
There are 100 GPs and 1 gem worth 150 GP (1 WU) in the rubbish pile.

Sneaky: MR = 130, 140 + 65, skin armor takes 10 hits, SP = F, Immune to Fire, Take That, You Fiend and energy
beams do %damage; Vorpa/B/ade weapons are neutralized.

a: When a party member steps on Plate a, it drops the panels at •. It also causes the automatic firing system of the re·
peating Crossbows to start firing. Bows fire Bolts at a height of 3'. The entire party must make a L2·SR on LK to avoid
being hit. These Crossbows generate 406 worth of damage if they hit.

3: Room is filled with Giant, Man·Eating Plant. Cabbage will attack party members standing at either the east or west doors
with its whiplike tentacles. Characters attacked by the tentacles must make a Ll·SR on OX to avoid being caught and
drawn into the room, where standard melee rules would apply. Judge Only: Cabbage is susceptible to fire. Any time a
fire or energy attack is made on Cabbage, Cabbage must make a L1·SR on LK to avoid catching fire. Fire does 206
damage each round for 3 rounds. Apply fire damage at the end of each melee round after resolving combat for that
round. If Cabbage is completely burned, the party will find 50 GPs and 1 Gem worth 900 GPs (1 WUI.

Cabbage: MR = 200, 210 + 100, LK = 10, tears up Webs like tissue paper.
4: Small barrack room. Judge Only: The Half-Ore, Ringo, is waving his beringed left hand at 3 Orcs and a Gargoyle, urging
them to attack the party. The silver ring (worth 50 GPI on his left hand has a ST Storing Crystal of ST: 17 mounted on
it. Ringo will try to remain out of the fighting. First, he will cast a Little Feets on Rocky and then a Vorpal Blade (2nd
level) on the Orc weapons. He will use the Crystal's Strength until it is drained dry and then will use his own. He will
only join the melee if forced or if he feels there is an advantageous position from which to strike.
The Orcs are just cannon fodder for Ringo. He always makes them attack first while he stays behind and supports
with magic.

Ringo: MR = 34, *Hand·and·a·Half Sword 50, armor take,8 hits, SP = N, ST: 24, 10: 14, Spells: Take That, You
Fiend, Vorpal Blade, Little Feets.
Each Orc: MR = 17, Broadsword 3D + 4, armor takes 6 hits, SP = N.
Rocky: MR = 60, 70 + 3D, skin takes 11 hits, SP = SIN; weapons must make a Ll . SR on LK to avoid breaking:
Swords' LK = 12, Hafted Weapons' LK . 15.

5: Ringo's bedchamber. This room is accessed by the west, south, and north secret doors. As with all secret doors, they can
be discovered by an Oh, There It Isspell or by searching (L3·SR on LK). There is an iron-banded wooden chest (I' x 2'
x I') under Ringo's bed. The treasure is in the chest: 700 GP, 2 Gems (each 1 WU) worth 750 GP each, and a history
book about the Orc race worth 50 GP (50 WU).

6: 4 Gorillas squat on all fours in the center of the room. They will attack anyone who dares to enter the room. They move
very quickly, so, if a character has stepped into the room, he won't make it out before the Gorillas jump him. The room
itself is an old guardroom, empty of furniture and holding only some overturned racks for holding weapons and armor.
There is onlya broken chest in the northwest corner of the room. Judge Only: If the party takes 1 turn (10mr) to search
through the debris on the floor in that corner, they will find 50 GPs scattered about. There is a Target Shield near the
overturned racks.

Big G: MR = 58, 60 + 29, fur takes 5 hits, SP = F.

Little G: MR = 35, 40 + 17, fur takes 5 hits, SP = F.
8ad G: MR· 51, 60 + 25, fur takes 5 hits, SP = F.
Nice G: MR = 36, 40 + 18, fur takes 5 hits, SP = F.

7: An old barrack room. The east and west walls each have 3 niches cut into them for beds. Rotten hangings cover the
niches. Judge Only: A L1·SR on LK allows a character to notice that each niche holds a body. Zombies will all move to
attack if they are attacked in any way. They will pursue into Room 8 or Corridor B but not beyond that. They are also
activated when Howard the Duck is freed; they will attempt to block the party's return passage through Room 7. There
are 6 Zombies.

Z5: MR = 32, 40 + 16, Leather armor takes 6 hits, SP = N.
Z6: MR = 33, 40 + 16, Leather armor takes 6 hits, SP = N.

8: Prison Room. Howard the Duck is shackled, gagged, and chained to the east wall. Upon seeing the party, he mumbles
vigorously through the gag; it appears that he wants to be set free. Judge Only: The keys to the locks on the shackles
and chains holding Howard hang from a peg on the west wall directly across from Howard, If the party sets Howard. free,
they get 46 VP. If they kill him, they lose 5 VP. When freed, Howard asks for either a Sword or a Dagger and a Shield.
If he is given the requested items, he will join the party; he will also blurt out that Kag's daughter is slated for sacrifice
to the Snail·God sometime this day, and he knows where the temple room is. He also knows about the secret door in the
southwest corner but not about Room 9.

9: A chill, bare room, empty· except for three, heavy bronze coffins bound with iron. Two are against the north wall, and
one is against the west wall. Two Human males stand against the north wall, and one Human male stands against the
west wall. J~ Only: These three Vampires will proceed to close with the party. When any Vampire's MR drops below
10, it will change to a bat and attempt to flyaway. If a Vampire is caught in a Web, it will change to mist. Only a Take
ThIIt, You Fiend can hit a Vampire in bat or mist form. Vampires can only be killed by sunlight or a stake through the
heart but are out of the game if MR is reduced to zero. If a Vampire manages to escape with any MR points, it will be
restored to its full MR poinu four turns later and can join in future monster attacks on the party.
*The treasure is on the wooden table in the center of the room. It consists of 600 GP and an esoteric book on the
nature of the world which is worth 50 GP (50 WUs).

Orak the Vamp: MR = 80, 90 + 40, Leather armor takes 6 hits, SP = F.

Vamp No.1: MR = 60, 70 + 30, Leather armor takes 6 hits, SP = F.
Vamp No.2: MR = 40,50 + 20, Leather armor takes 6 hits, SP = F.

b: This plate releases a set of swinging and whirling blades. Characters on plate must make a L1 SR on LK to avoid being
hit. The blades do 606 worth of damage if they hit. This trap automatically resets itself after 10mr.

Public Fountain: There are park benches on the north, west, and south sides of the fountain. At the northwest and southeast
corners are trash receptacles. At its northeast and southwest corners are evergreen bushes. There is a female nymph splashing
and playing in the water of the fountain. It takes an appropriate L3SR to do anything with or to her. Web doesn't affect her.

Jayne: MR = 40,50 + 24,10: 15, CH: 14, Speaks Common. -5 Vi's for killing her.

When she notices the party, she will speak thus: "Come, drink from my fountain. There is a good chance of a boon, and
only a small chance of a bane, but to drink from it twice means death." If a character drinks just once, do the following:

Roll 106.1 - 4 means a boon (adding); 5 or 6 means a bane Isubtracting).

Roll 106 again. This tells the number of points to be added or subtracted.
Roll 106 a third time. Consult the following chart to determine the characteristic affected.

1 = ST 4 = CN
2= 10 5 = OX
3 = LK 6 = CH

VP adjustment = (+ for boon or - for bane) x (points rolled). Any character who drinks a second time, keels over and
dies. Jayne cannot live out of water for more than 5 mr.

10: Barrack for Orcs. Crudely built bunks piled with sleeping skins line the west wall. There is clutter around the bunks, but
the rest of the room is clean. Regardless of the door by which they enter, the party faces a band of 4 Orcs and one Half-
Orc.

Sarge Hagen: MR = 38, +Heavy Mace 50 + 2, Combat adds = +19, SP = N.

Half-Orc: 40 + 19, ST/LK = 19, Scale armor takes 8 hits.
Each Orc: MR • 18, Mitre 3D, armor takes 6 hits, Adds = +9, SP = N.

11: Latrine. The room is obviously being used by the Orcs on a daily basis. Judge Only: Here is stored the Orcs' treasure in
the pits. well covered. Those characters that dig up the treasure temporarilv lose 5 points from CH (until they can wash
thoroughly), but the party will get VPS for loot taken. The treasure chest contains 1,950 GP, a Ruby·tipped wand (5
WUs, acts like a Laser gun, does 406 damage, costs MU 1 ST point to activate, and is burned out after 12 uses), one
Ruby and Opal bracelet worth 1,450 GP, 3 Emeralds worth 300 GP each, and two Potions of Swordsmanship that, when
swallowed, give the drinking characrer an extra die of damage when a Sword is used in combat. Note: Each gem weighs
1 WU, and the bracelet is 2 WUs.

12: Another barrack room for Orcs. Rough, crude furnishings made of massive wood are contained in this room. Judge
Only: When fighting occurs in Rooms 10 or 15, roll 1010 every 2 melee rounds; the 5 Half·Orcs are alerted on a roll of
1 or 2;they will join in the fighting on the next melee round. Whatever happens, they automatically join in on the 10th

14; Storage room for loot, including non·perishable foods and several kegs of good beer and ale. There is also a tapestry
depicting a scene from the Oragon Kill War of a Oragon heroically coming to the aid of a group of Oragonewts fighting
off a band of Human warriors (see AD&O Judge's Shield) and worth 3,000 GP (300 WUs). There is also a ST Storing
Crystal with a current ST of 16.

15; Temple Room of the Snail·God. The 30' wide double doors swing inward. The 15' wide central aisle leads to the large,
obsidian altar at the south end of the room. There are regular lines of low benches to either side of the aisle. The ceiling
arches 100' above and is lost in shadows. There is a large bas·relief above and behind the altar on the south wall; it
depicts the Snail·God. Judge Only: A Salrog stands at M2. Orc No.1 and Orc No.2 stand before the altar as guards.
Basher is preparing to use his War Hammer on Kag's daughter, Joy; he stands at the East end of the altar. Orc No.3
stands behind Basher.

 c: This isn't a plate at all. A reinforced Mirage spell hides a 10' deep spiked pit. If a hand or other body part is placed in the
Mirage, it feels cold but is not destroyed. It can be detected magically but can only be dispelled by a Dis-Spell spell.
However, if the party members don't catch on, party members in the lead will fall in. Falling in will result in 406 points
of damage. The screams and splattering blood of the unfortunate party members who fall in destroy the Mirage of a solid
floor. The two catwalks over the spikes are then revealed.

16: Pen room for Dragon-Snail. (Drag is a stand-in for the Snail God.) There is considerable trash on the floor (mostly
Human and animal body parts), but there is not enough to impede progress. Judge Only: Drag appears invincible; he
shows no damage until dead. In a melee, its two heads can dart rapidly in and out at an individual party member, so
combat is resolved as a one-on-one to see if Drag gets through a character's parrying moves. Other party members can
make unopposed attacks on Drag. Drag is not affected by Web.

Drag: MR - 58,60 + 29, skin armor takes 14 hits (Take That, You Fiendfenergy beams do Y, damage), SP = S (however,
it can move SO'lmelee round). Spell: Glue-You, ST: 19.

Random Monrtor Orc Squad

When the party either takes a rest or enters the Public Fountain area, roil one six-sided die (106). Roil 106 every 30
minutes of rest; a roll of 1 activates 0 squad. Roil 106 when party enters fountain area. On a 1, the Orcs attack immediately.
On a 2, they wait at C, and on a 3, they wait on the catwalk over trap c. On a 4 ·6, nothing happens. It is a 6·0rc squad.

Lt. Mez: MR = 22, Broadsword 3D + 4, armor takes 7 hits, SP = N, ST: 15, IQ: 10, Spell: Take That, You Fiend (will
cast it at a party member).

Each arc: MR ~ 16, Short Sword 3D, armor takes 6 hits, SP = N.

Victory Points

Sum 1: Total GP value of all treasure "taken" and then divide by 100; this gives VPs for treasure in the possession of the party
at the end of the game.

Sum 2: Total MR value of all monsters reduced to 0 MR and then divide by 10; this gives VPs for monsters slain or removed
from the game.

Add Sum 1, Sum 2, and special VPS earned according to Dungeon Key text; this result yields the overall game VPs.
