4. Valanunthe's Room

There is no doubt the elf knows you're coming. As you open the door a blue sizzling dart of energy flies toward you, followed closely by another arrow of the more mundane sort. So begins the battle against Valanunthe. She is a 3rd-level Fighter/Magic-user and she has access to 2 more spells for the day: another magic missile and invisibility. She will use her invisibility spell to disappear if she feels the fight going against her. She fights with a composite longbow and a longsword +1. The bow allows her to add her Strength bonus to the damage done by the arrow. After her initial magic missile/bow salvo she will switch to her longsword +1 for the rest of the encounter. This appears to be the room that Valanunthe has set up as her own. There are several books stacked next to a small cot against the south wall. There is also a weapons rack here but it is empty. A quick glance reveals a small chest hidden under the cot. In the chest are 400 gp, a gem worth 50 gp, and the following note: Valanunthe, I am setting up at the keep. Once I get settled in I will send a war party your way with the payment we discussed. Make sure you have the map ready and waiting when they get there. I already don't like this place. – Girck If Valanunthe is searched the party will find another 70 gp, a longsword +1, her composite longbow, and the amulet of the mighty fist. If the books are examined here are the titles and possible worth: • Life of Galad the Impetuous (1 gp) • The Art of Love Vol I (1 g
