Dungeon of the Fire Opal - Dungeon Magazine 84 (part 7: areas 34 through 38)

More of the restocking. We cover areas 34 through 38. 

Unless otherwise stated, all areas are unlit.

Unless otherwise stated ceiling height is 10 feet. 

All secret doors require a DC14 or better perception to spot.

All areas other than 0, 1, and 3 are grey stone.

Should you decide to have random encounters in the southern part of the dungeon, the following are suggested: 2 Toruk Rul, 1 Sorn Ulth, both, the sound of clicking in the distance, a sudden breeze that stops just as suddenly. 

Toruk Rul and Sorn Ulth are in the 5e update of the Ptolus core book pages 598 & 599.

Area 34: Empty.

Area 35: On the walls of the room are a total of 7 copper plaques covered in heavy verdigris. Each is 3 foot by 3 foot and weighs 10 pounds. Cleaning them shows the writing in both Abyssal and Infernal. Translating them reveals spells that can be copied into spellbooks. The spells are: Ray of Sickness, Crown of Madness, Fear, Dominate Beast, Dominate Person, Circle of Death, Finger of Death.

It takes 10 minutes of careful work to remove a plaque from the wall without damaging it. See the magic section of the 5e Players Handbook for the value and cost of transcribing or buying/selling spells.

Area 36: The door is locked. Ruined furnishings. (you may want to roll for a random encounter)

Area 37: Empty. (you may want to roll for a random encounter)

Area 38: Note: Replace the secret door between areas 38 and 40 with a Blue Steel door. The cost to pass through is to forsake the respect of another. After the initial cost, the password that character becomes the name of the one who has lost respect for the character.

The circular room is tall, with a domed ceiling peaking at a height of 30 feet. Standing in the center of the red granite floor is a man covered in stitches as if his parts are not originally his own. He stares blankly until someone enters the room and then he attacks. He will not pursue retreating creatures beyond the door.

Encounter: Flesh Golem. 5e Monster Manual page 169.

Levitating 25 feet above the center of the floor is a jagged black crown. (see blog post Magic Item - Lesser Crown of Harrowing)
