point. There are 4 dead goblins piled up
in one corner of the room. On the south
side of the room is a small hearth, sitting in front of it is a Dwarf, chugging
an ale. Lying on the floor is a
Warhammer,

The Dragon’s Lair

there lizard men here?
This room is 25’ x 15’.

is a secret compartment that contains 500 GP`s.

compartment. The compartment is locked
and trapped with a special poison that causes 1d4 damage and will also damage
the PC`s intelligence by -2.

This room is 15`x 20`.
The door to this room is wizard locked (by the spell Wizard Lock). It can only be opened by a Knock spell, and
or using the command word ``Breeyark!``.
Of course the players will not know this. There are runes written on the door that read
`` Home of Illzathatch``.
Within the room is the spawn of Illzathatch, a young green
dragon named Hazathatch. The ceiling of
the room is open and you can see blue sky above, natural sunlight bathes the
room. From the ground the ceiling is 25`
high. It is protected by an illusion on
the outside so that passersby will think that it’s a rocky outcropping.

11 – This
ceiling looks a little suspect!
This room is 20`x 20`.
The door to this room is unlocked and ajar. The floor of the room has a checker board
pattern; it appears to be made of granite.
Some tiles are black, others are white.
At the far end of the room is an altar with atleast 30 vials, each with
a slightly different color.
The room is a trap,
regardless of what tile the PC`s step on, once they have stepped on at least 3
tiles in the room the ceiling will cave in on them, and the door to the room
will close. Celling block falls save vs
turn to stone or take 1d10 points of damage. The only way to get to the altar
is to levitate.
The altar has 2
healing potions, 1 potion of Mirror Image.
All the rest of the potions are a trick to get the PC`s to check them
out. They can try them if the like, but
nothing will happen.
12 - Statue Of
Illzathatch
This room is 30`x 20`.
The door to this room is locked.
(One of the lizardmen from room 7 has a key). In the centre of the room is a large crudely
made statue of Illzathatch. The eyes of
the dragon are made from gems (50 GP each), and the teeth appear to sparkle in
the torchlight (20 silver teeth – 10 GP each).
There are 4 lizardmen in the room working on a second statue.

Treasure: 30 GP`s, 75
SP`s, 1 healing potion.
13 - Uh-oh! A
Cave In!
It appears that a few lizard men were working on creating a
new tunnel here, however a cave in must have happened recently as all the PC’s
can make out are various limbs under the rubble. Pickaxes and other mining equipment litter
the ground, including a wheelbarrow. If
the PC’s wait here for any reason whatsoever there is a chance of another cave
in, as it is quite unstable. (Roll 1d8,
on a roll of 1 another cave in occurs, anyone within the immediate area must
save vs turn to stone, if they fail they receive 2d6 damage).
14 – The empty
room
This room is 20’ x 25’.
The door to this room is locked.
Inside the room are 5 statues of lizardmen, one on each corner of the
room. In the centre of the room is a
pentagram drawn on the floor.
Traps
T1 – Poison gas
When the PC’s enter this area, have them all check their
wisdom. If anyone succeeds they smell a
strong odour. There is a pressure plate
on the ground that will release poison gas.
The poison does 1d4+1 damage and effects the constitution of
everyone. -1 CON.
T2 – Blades Of
Terror
As the PC’s approach this area they see a beheaded
adventurer lying in a pool of his own blood.
(The adventurer is wearing leather armor +1 and has a silver dagger, 15
GP’s in his pouch). If a search for
secret doors is made, the PC’s will find a small lever in the wall that stops
the trap. If any PC’s continues forward
2 giant blades will come out of the walls causing 3D6 damage to anyone. Allow a saving throw VS Death ray for half
damage.
T3 Pit Trap
There is a large pit trap here, which is 15” deep. A Save VS Spell will show the PC’s that there
is a illusion of a floor over the pit.
Anyone failing the spell check will fall into the pit trap 1D6 damage.
T4 – The Broken
Trap
Lying in the centre of the floor is a very large looking
bear trap surrounded by blood. It has
already been sprung. The only thing that
remains is a leg still attached to the trap.
