13. Chief's Quarters

The wily orc chief resides here. A war leader and a couple of common orcs are also usually found here. The chief has a key that opens the eastern temple door at room #9 attached to a necklace of long pencil-thin gold bars (value 100 gp). Treasure is housed in a locked chest with a gas trap inside it. The trap is released when it is opened, unless some long pencil-sized object is inserted into a hole in back (the chief's necklace is used for this). The gas will affect a 10' area around the chest (save vs. Poison or die; alternately the GM may substitute a similarly-nasty effect of his or her own devising). In the chest are 800 gp, 500 ep, 700 sp, and a Potion of Healing. This room contains various bits of stout wooden furniture. Under a heavy chair in the northeast corner is the alarm bell that rings if either of the trapped secret doors in room #11 is opened without disarming it first.
