GUEST CHAMBER: This lower room is for important guests of the place. It contains a large bed, table, chairs, etc. There is nothing of value within, although the tapestries adorning the walls (things picturing evil cruelties and obscene rites) appear expensive. Beneath a velvet cloth on the table is a polished mirror. His room is furnished lavishly, with a red carpet, furniture of black wood with velvet upholstery of scarlet, and a large bed covered with silken covers of black and red cushions and pillows. A demon idol leers from the wall to the north, directly over the bed. If anyone other than the priest touches it it will topple over upon the person, causing 2-12 points of damage. It has Iwo gem eyes (100 g.p. value each). The evil priest will dart behind a screen in the southeast corner, enter a wardrobe there, slip through a secret door in its back, and then down a short passage and out into the corridor through another secret door, should his life be in danger. When the secret door in the back of the wardrobe is opened by the party, 500 gold pieces and 50 gems of 10 gold piece value each will spill from the wardrobe into the room to hopefully cause pursuers to stop for the loot. The priest will meanwhile either try t o rally his forces, or else escape (assuming that most of his fellows have been eliminated already).
TORTURE CHAMBER: There are various implements of torture here, both large and small - a rack, iron maiden, tongs, pincers, whips, etc. Comfortable chairs are scattered along the walls, evidently so placed to allow visitors an enjoyable view of the proceedings. The torturer lives in the forepart of the place, and he will attack unauthorized persons who enter. He is a third level fighter with chain mail under his black leather garments. His weapon is a huge battle axe. Torturer: AC 5, F 3, hp 19, #AT I, D 3-8 (1d6+2 due to Strength), ML 8. Hidden in his mattress are 135 gold pieces and a bracelet worth 700 gold pieces.
THE CRYPT: The door to this room is bolted shut. This long hall is of roughly hewn stone, with a low ceiling. In it are many coffins and large sarcophagi with the remains of servants of the Temple of Chaos. The sixth tomb opened will contain a wight: (AC 5, HD 3*, hp 13, #AT I, D drain one level, MV (30’), Save F 2, ML 12). There is no treasure buried with any of the remains, but there is a secret compartment in the wight’s tomb; this contains a sword +2. a scroll of protection from undead, a helm of alianment change, and a silver dagger worth 800 gold pieces because of the gems set into its pommel*.
STORAGE CHAMBER: There are many piles of boxes, crates, barrels, sacks, and so forth here - the supplies of the temple are kept here. There is nothing of value, and if the party stays within the place for longer than 3 rounds, a gelatinous cube will move down the corridor into the place and block it. (AC 8, HD 4*, hp 22, #AT I, D 2-8 plus paralyzation, MV (20’), Save F 2, ML 12.) Inside the creature are d12 each of copper, silver, electrum, gold, and platinum pieces, as well as several bones - evidently parts of a victim not yet wholly digested. (One of the “bones” is actually a wand of enemy detection with 9 charges left. If it is not gotten out of the monster within 1 turn, it will be ruined by digestive juices.) The secret door in the room leads to the gnoll chieftain’s cave.
CELL: The door is of iron, locked and barred, but a window is set in the door. This is the place where prisoners are kept until tortured to death or sacrificed in the area above. There are several skeletons still chained to the wall, and one scantily clad female - a fair maiden obviously in need of rescuing! As she is partly around a corner, at first only her shapely legs and body up to the shoulders can be seen. Those who enter and approach closer are in for a rude shock! This is actually a medusa recently taken by the evil priest’s zombie guards. (AC 8, HD 4**, hp 20, #AT 1, D l-6 plus poison, MV (30’), Save F 4, ML 8.) An opponent hit by the medusa’s attack has been bitten by the asp-hair and must save vs. Poison or die. Persons looking at the creature - including those fighting her from the front - must save versus being Turned to Stone by the medusa. Not being above such things, the cleric had plans for removing its snakes, blinding it, and then eventually sacrificing it at a special rite to a demon. The medusa will spare one or two of the adventurers from her gaze, promising them she has magic which will turn their companions back to flesh again, if they will free her from her chains. She does, in fact, have a special elixir*, a potion of stone to flesh in a small vial, enough liquid to turn six persons, who have been turned to stone, back to normal, but she does not intend to give it away. If freed she will attempt to “stone” her rescuers.
