Minotaur base

GM note: The secret door used to enter this small complex of rooms is a hinged section of wall which is activated by pressing a stone block inwards next to the door, chances of detection are normal.

The corridor leading from the secret door towards room 24 - The Guard Room - is littered with small pieces of glass which emit a crunching sound underfoot. This was spread by the Minotaur to warn them of intruders.

The contingent of Minotaur are from a larger group located on Lvl 5 and 6. This is a small hunting band of ten who send out scouts to scour the level for loot, food, and prisoners to take down to the main base. There are always 6 Minotaur in the base, with 4 out scouting and hunting.

If their base is attacked the Minotaur will defend the prisoners they have, and if opportunity arises, capture more, especially those who are physically fit.

Room 24 - The Guard room

GM note: The secret door into this room consists of a sliding wooden panel painted to look like the surrounding stone walls. The chance of detection is normal. However, if anyone is looking for the door it will be slid open quickly by the Minotaur guards behind it, with a normal chance of surprise.

**Boxed Text**
The section of wall before you slides abruptly to the right and two pairs of glowering red eyes gleam at you from bovine faces as two hulking man-beasts raise axes and pile into the attack!
**End Boxed Text**

If the door isn't looked for, the Minotaur guards will wait and attempt to attack from the rear.

The room contains two large stools, a barrel of salted meat and a pitcher of drinking water.

Room 25 - The Cell

GM note: The corridor outside this room is guarded by a single Minotaur armed with a Great Axe. It will duck into the space leading to room 26 if alerted by the crunch of glass spread in the corridor leading to room 24 after tapping on the door to warn those within.

**Boxed Text**
As you approach the end of the corridor you can hear the dripping of water from beyond, and the sound of great lungs inhaling before they emit a great roar! A large beast with the head of a bull swings a mighty axe at you.

Please guys, if you start working on a room or otherwise claim it, make sure it is completed by April 30th. Leaving rooms pending prevents Solomoriah from compile everything in the document posted here.

Room 5 - The White Rock Clan Living Quarters

room 4.5.png (3.76 KiB) Viewed 1193 times

***Boxed Text***
A set of stairs leads you down to this fairly large room in which tables and stools are scattered around. All the furniture in this room is gnome-sized and well arranged so that there is space to allow circulation. Many gnomes are sitting in this room that appears to be lit by several shining crystals hanged on the walls. A large fireplace has a few pots of stew cooking and barrels are scattered around the room, and a pleasant smell fills the air. This is a living area it seems.
***End Boxed Text***

Note to GM: This is the first room of the lair of the Gnome clan know as Clan White Rock. This room plays the role of a cantina, living room, and tavern. Gnomes found in this room will be resting and unwinding.

There is a hidden lever the western wall, behind one of the crystal that opens a secret door that leads to area 8.

At all times, 13 gnome warriors, 12 gnome civilians, and two gnome sergeants will be in this room. In addition, Nignel will be found sitting in this room, reading a book 2 in 6 times the players enter it. The civilians will be unarmed and will flee to areas 6 or 7 (whichever is closer) if threatened. In the case the must fight, their stats are given below.

Gnome Civilian: Gnome civilians are unarmed and unarmored. When a fight erupt, they'll flee immediately.

Ningel: Ningel is one of the clan's Magic users. He is a bit of an outcast and prefers to spend time with the clan's common folk rather than the clan's leaders. He was originally part of another clan and has accompanied the gnomes of White Rock Clan for his personal interest. In fact, he has little interest in the Ancient Portal found in area 8, and is instead looking for an ancient artifact called the Moon Piece which he believes could be found in the dungeon.

Ningel: MU 4, AC 12, HP 7, #At 1, AB +2, Dam 1d8, Mv 20', Sv MU3, Ml 11 (9)

Room 6 - The Gnomes' Dormitory

room 4.6.png (3.63 KiB) Viewed 1055 times

***Boxed Text***
Walking down the stairs, you end up in a vast room with many superposed bunks. Wooden furniture is also scattered around the room; chairs, tables, and chests. It appears that this is where the gnomes sleep when they are not busy doing something else. There is very little noise here an there is no light.
***End Boxed Text***

Note to GM: This is a room which the gnomes sleep when they are not busy exploring the dungeon, defending the lair, or digging up the artifact in room 8. There is nothing of value here other than the personal possessions of the sleeping gnomes.

There is a total of 45 beds all placed against the wall. Each bed has five bunks superposed and are accessible with wooden scales. The bunks each have a blanket and a straw mat.

At all time, there will be 13 gnome warriors, a gnome sergeant, and 12 gnome civilians sleeping in this room. If awaken, the warriors can be ready to fight in a turn.

Gnome Civilian: Gnome civilians are unarmed and unarmored. When a fight erupt, they'll flee immediately.
