The latest completed map is the sixth part of what will be an eight part map of Level 3. This area lies to the west of Caverns of the Heart Eaters and south of the Tainted Tunnels of the Triple-Headed Daeva.
Just 20 days (and rooms) to go!
Room Descriptions
147 – Tunnel to the east is choked with rubble – can be unearthed by 1 hour’s digging. Leads to area 21. A black pudding hides among the stalagmites on the cavern floor.
148 – Jagged fissures criss cross the centre of the cavern. The floor will collapse if it is subjected to more than 150 lbs of weight. Creatures in the room who fail a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw fall 1d4 x 10’ into a crevasse that opens up across the room.
149 – A group of 4 gnolls and 2 gnoll flesh gnawers guard this ancient hallway. The four pillars are carved with images of Okkidor, Prince of Demons, as a hyena-headed figure with razor-sharp battle claws.
150 – Armoury. The cult of Okkidor stores spare weapons & armour here. Weapon racks hold spears, glaives, longbows, and scimitars. Several suits of hide armour & shields painted with Okkidor’s cloven skull symbol hang from hooks on the walls.
151 – The walls of this corridor have been decorated with crude images of slaughter and war, daubed in black and red paint.
152 – Cultist living quarters. Crude cots covered in mangy furs. North wall is decorated with several badly taxidermied trophies of the cult – four human heads, two goblins, and one darkling. A hand axe is embedded in the back of the SW door. There are usually 1d3 gnolls sleeping in here.
153 – Hyena-headed statue of Okkidor carved in black stone. Two gnoll cultists have left a wooden bowl filled with fresh entrails at its feet and are chanting murderous prayers. They wear hooded black robes and wield scimitars.
154 – Storage room. West and east walls are lined with shelves holding various sinister items – black candles, human skulls, meat cleavers coated in dried blood. An ornate silver flask sealed with red wax contains a liquefied farastu demodand (Planescape), a gift to the cult from one of Okkidor’s fiendish lieutenants. The flask is labelled “do not open.”
155 – Okkidor’s snarling hyena-like face has been painted on the floor in the centre of the chamber, surrounded by a ring of burning black candles. Six gnoll cultists and a gnoll cult fanatic in black hooded robes form a welcoming committee for intruders. If the cultists get into serious trouble, one runs to the storage room (154) and releases the liquefied farastu.
