Area 30: Creatures entering the 10 foot section marked 30 are catapulted against the wall and tumble down the stairs into are 41 taking 3d6 damage, half with a successful DC14 Dexterity saving throw. Both success and failure result in the prone condition.

Area 31: A large bed, desk, chair, and wardrobe occupy this room. The furniture has long since fallen into disrepair and dry-rot. On the desk sit a dry inkwell, and a worm-eaten tome. Opening the book causes the pages to crumble to dust and fragments.

Area 32: Tossing and up-ending furniture, 2 Toruk Rul are conducting an aggressive, but ineffective search for valuables. The ancient bunks are torn asunder and their rotted mattresses litter the floor. Any fight here brings the Sorn Ulth from area 33 to join the battle.

These Toruk Rul carry a total of 6 gold, 13 silver, and 19 copper pieces.

Area 33: A lone Sorn Ulth is conducting a lazy search of this room full of deteriorating bunks. 

Gronekz wields the cursed Morningstar "Creature" and if engaging in combat will immediately summon a Dretch behind his enemies. (see blog post Magic Item - Named Morningstar Creature)

Gronekz carries 15 gold pieces.
