Sepulchre of the Bronze Legion: Room 6

Room 6:
Laid to rest here is the majority of the Legion's swordsman and officers. The sarcophagus contains the remains of the commander, waiting for the time when the Legion is called to fight again.

The commander is wearing bronze breast plate, grieves and bracers in perfect condition. He is wielding a bronze long sword and bears a bronze shield.

Upon the sarcophagus is the Legion Seal, a symbol of a bronze shield crossed by sword and spear. If this is taken from the lid skeletons from every room will begin to rise to pursue and slay the thieves.

In the Southwest corner is a door with a clockwork mechanism. It can be opened once the procedure is determined (easy task).

In the Southeast corner is a secret door leading south.

Sepulchre of the Bronze Legion: Room 1

Renowned for their skill and resolve in battle, the Bronze Legion built their own secret burial chambers. Here their dead are together in death as they were in life, ready to fight enemies that threaten them.

This is the third mini dungeon of an ongoing series that will be posted, built using Dwarven Forge terrain. The full map is at the bottom of the post.

Room 1: Pool of the Dead
This room is cold, barely above freezing. In the center of the room is a pool fed from an icy spring. It is fresh and clean. Marching in a line around the perimeter of the circular room are three skeletons armed with spears. They will ignore visitors unless they are attacked or thieves have stolen the Legion Seal from room 6.

The Halls of Mugg the Mad: Room 6

Room 6: The Portrait Vault

Within this locked chamber, hung on the surrounding walls are 11 portraits in fancy gilded frames. The treasure illustrates just how mad Mugg truly is or was. Total value = 1,000 gold pieces for the frames, and it is unlikely anyone would see the actual portraits as having value.

The portraits include a large eyed kitten, dogs playing poker, two farmers with the heads of weasels, a knight mounted on a flail snail, and various other bizarre images.

The Halls of Mugg the Mad: Room 5 and secret hallway

This image shows Room 2 leading into both Room 5 and the secret hallway, and in the backgroud you can see part of Room 6.

Secret Hallway - Halfway along the hall is a covered 10' pit trap, standard detection chances. The other secret door is behind the throne.

This grand chamber has a high vaulted ceiling supported by 4 huge marble pillars. Occupying the room are the following:

Mugg the Mad, Ogre, 5HD, maximum hit points. He wears a 500 gold piece valued necklace, has a pocket full of flawed pearls (total 75 gp value) that he uses like marbles to foil the footing of enemies, and he wears BRACERS OF BASHING (to be detailed in an upcoming post).

There are 3 bugbear guards, 3+1 HD each, hitpoints 15 each. One wears chainmail +1, another has a scroll of healing he will use on Mugg if needed, and the third has 11 silver pieces.

Hidden behind a barrel sits a goblin guard that if undetected will wait until the party enters Room 5 and then will attack from behind.

In the pocket of a vest can be found a silver bracelet worth 25 silver pieces.

There is a secret door in the right hand corner to the right of the door that leads into Room 5, to a hidden hallway.

Dungeon of Jolokia - Rooms 1 and 2

Here are rooms 1 and 2 of the snake dungeon converted into Dwarven Forge terrain. Below the pictures is the original map.

Room 1: Flanking the stairsdown into this chamber are a pair of grand statues depicting great twisting serpents with human heads. To the south double doors bear the fading painting of a screaming face with images of flames inside the mouth.

Room 2: The walls of this room are covered in mosaic tiles depicting many beings contorted in pain, their mouths open with what appears to be flames around their tongues. The floor is covered in a swirling serpent-like pattern with worn pathways from the tread of many feet.

Tapestries hide doors on the west and east walls. The tapestries show a great open mouth, a human headed serpent wrapped around the tongue with flames stretching the length of the beast.

The door to the east is locked.

Any noise of normal talking volume or above will draw the attention of the naga in room 4 who will come listen at the west door to determine a course of action. If it believes the party have passed out of room two through the east door it will pause for certainty and then quietly follow them planning an ambush later.

Lair of the Necromancer

Here are a few pictures from the lair of a necromancer the party only saw part of before retreating to safety. They were in bad shape with most of them at 1 or 2 hit points so a withdraw was the wisest option.

The lair contained the remaining cultists of the Rat God, the Necromancer, and numerous skeletons and zombies, including a number of ripening bodies in the fetid water in the lowest reaches of the dungeon. Had more than just one party member entered the place, the Necromancer would have animated the bodies in the water to bolster his already impressive force of undead.

During the confusion the necromancer would have made his escape, leaving behind 8 cultists, 4 skeletons, and 10 zombies to vex the adventurers. Treasures left behind included an apprentice spell book, several Lesser Wondrous Figurines, a talking Auguring Skull, and a journal.

This time I was playing around with the Erinthor Mountain pieces from Dwarven Forge and a Balrog tea-light piece, using an LED flashlight for more oomph.
