C21. Kitchen

The smell of onions and boiled meat greets your nostrils. This large room is furnished with a stove, two ovens, two tables, and counters along the walls. Pots, pans, and other utensils hang from hooks. A large plump female human flits to and fro, barking orders at a small human boy no older than seven. The Elf Lord's cook is the only human in the Brugh staying here of her own free will. She enjoys the prospect of an eternity catering to the Prince’s eclectic culinary whims. If she believes the PCs are here to upset the status quo, she will ferociously attack, first by throwing kitchen knives and then by wielding a large frying pan. The room has no treasure, unless you count three blueberry pies cooling on a table. The sous-chef is little Stevie Leeford of Blackapple (13d). He has a golden thread tied around his left ankle that keeps him in a charmed state.

DUMBWAITER (LEVEL 3): A sliding panel on the south wall reveals a 3- foot by 4-foot space with no ceiling. A crankshaft to the right of the panel suggests this is a large dumbwaiter for sending food from the kitchen to the upper level. The dumbwaiter can only support a maximum weight of 200 lbs. There's no sign to indicate that. The characters may use the dumbwaiter as an elevator between Level 2 (14a) and Level 3 (21a). If
