+ | |||
+ | **Main Entrance** -- There are always 12 GOBLINS on guard | ||
+ | on the wall (6 on either side of the door). | ||
+ | 2 (guards) will always be Archers((Red Squadron)). | ||
+ | portcullis here (spaced 20 feet apart). | ||
+ | is raised while the inner is not. If the | ||
+ | party is foolish enough to enter these gates, the | ||
+ | Goblins will < | ||
+ | trap them</ | ||
+ | At this point oil will be poured onto | ||
+ | the party and all of the goblins will attack | ||
+ | (throwing flaming torches first). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Along the the other walls there are 12 more < | ||
+ | patrolling((2 are Blue Squadron Archers)). | ||
+ | the moat around the castle there is one POISONOUS | ||
+ | GIANT SNAKE who will attack anybody in the water | ||
+ | (20% chance he will be near enough | ||
+ | If so, each character has a chance [detect unusual] | ||
+ | to see him). | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Stables** -- There are 14 horses hre (3 are warhorses | ||
+ | with Chain barding, the others are light riding) as | ||
+ | well as 4 Goblins (unarmed) tending the horses. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | **Kitchen Area** -- See detail map 1((seems to have been lost)). | ||
+ | There are 20 KOBOLDS | ||
+ | living and working here at all times. | ||
+ | divided as follows: 10 in the kitchen area, 5 at | ||
+ | the table north of the curtain, and 5 in the living | ||
+ | area. In the living area is a sack with 200 cp | ||
+ | in it. In the storage area nearest to the wall, | ||
+ | all of the barrels are empty and the chest in | ||
+ | the corner (unlocked) contains 1000 cp and 10 gems | ||
+ | (10 gp each). | ||
+ | salted meats, fresh (and not-so-fresh) fruits and | ||
+ | vegetables, as well as seasonings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Barn/Farmhouse** -- Here, there are 6 cows, 17 chickens, | ||
+ | 6 pigs, and 5 goats as well as 4 GOBLINS. | ||
+ | There is no treasure, yet there are 2 butchered | ||
+ | pigs and a side of beef hanging nearby as well | ||
+ | as several jugs of fresh milk and baskets of | ||
+ | eggs. In the garden nearby are many vegetables | ||
+ | and nothing of interest. | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Guard Quarters East** -- See detail map 2. There are | ||
+ | 16 GOBLINS in this building as well as the Red and | ||
+ | Blue Orc Archer squadrons (5 each). | ||
+ | are divided as follows: the leader behind the curtain | ||
+ | in the corner (w/the treasure), 3 others around the fire | ||
+ | pit and 21 in the Rec Area. The Orcs are all in | ||
+ | their rooms except for 2 from each squadron that are | ||
+ | on duty. There are also 6 Goblin wenches who will not | ||
+ | fight. | ||
+ | Blue squadron, and Sectionc C and D contain food | ||
+ | and weapons for the archers. | ||

+ | enormous amount of weapons. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Pages 5 & 6 == | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Collapsed Building** -- This area is the only other entrance | ||
+ | to the castle other than the main entrance. | ||
+ | result, Elárion has tried to block it up as | ||
+ | much as possible and has stationed 7 GOBLINS | ||
+ | on guard here. These goblins are not alert and | ||
+ | may be asleep (40% chance per goblin). | ||
+ | |||

+ | is no chance that the OGRES will hear and respond. | ||
+ | On the second round there is a 25% chance, on the | ||
+ | third a 50% chance, and on the fourth a 75% chance. | ||
+ | On the fifth round, the Ogres will definitely hear. Besides | ||
+ | their weapons and money these goblins also carry | ||
+ | the following: A ring of six keys (West door to cell | ||

+ | castle if it appears that she is losing the | ||
+ | battle. | ||
+ | here so that she can re-appear in The Great | ||
+ | Search II. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * If the party is captured, they will be placed in | ||
+ | the cells for a day or so and then questioned | ||
+ | by Elárion one by one. She will always have | ||
+ | 2 guards with her during the questioning. | ||
+ | this there will be another day of pause after | ||
+ | which she will have the guards execute them | ||
+ | one after another. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * To escape, Elárion must get her spell book, rush out | ||
+ | to the stables, get a horse, and ride out and down | ||
+ | to hex X24 where she has a rowboat. | ||
+ | she will take with her all of her magic items and | ||
