Dungeon Key

1. Entrance:

Read the following as the adventurers come insight of the dungeon; presumably they will still be

under some cover at this point.

You see a fortified dungeon entrance, withshort tower-like emplacements bracketing it.You can see arrow slits in the emplacements,which would allow guards within them to firearrows (or worse) upon anyone trying to enter.

What happens next depends heavily on how theplayers choose to proceed. Thus, the GM mustmake it up as he or she goes along. Thefollowing text should be read or paraphrased

when an adventurer first sees inside theentrance:

The floor within the entrance is covered in sand,which has been raked into lines.

The sand permits the guards in the various guardposts to see footprints if invisible charactersattempt to pass through. The sand continuesunbroken all the way through the first andsecond gauntlets and the reception room (#4through #6 below).

2. Guard Post: On all watches save the third, a

corporal and a regular will be here; on the thirdwatch, only a corporal will be present. Thecorporal has a whistle which he can use tocommunicate with the other guard post as wellas with the archer's gallery surrounding the firstgauntlet (see below).

3. Guard Post: On all watches, two regulars willbe here.

4. Gauntlet: On all watches, six regulars and theother corporal will be here; 50% of the time, thesergeant will be here also. They generallywander a bit within the archer's gallery (behind

the arrow slits) but if alerted (for instance, by thewhistle of the corporal at #2 above), each willbe standing at his arrow slit, ready to fire onanyone entering without permission. Also note, ifDumystor hears the whistle, he'll come to thearcher's gallery in 1d6 rounds and use his magicto aid the archers.

5. Reception Room: This room is generally emptyunless visitors are expected. The slavers won'tfight in this room if they can avoid it, as the areais too exposed; they prefer to attack with bothsurprise and cover if at all possible.

6. Second Gauntlet: Three regulars will be hereat any time, and the sergeant is 50% likely to bewith them. If they are repelling an enemy,regulars from the first gauntlet will arrive in 2d10rounds to assist, generally around half of thoseremaining (so as not to leave the first gauntletcompletely unmanned); the sergeant will alwaysbe with the reinforcements if he wasn't here
