Storage Room A
This storage room is under the staircase,
making it cramped and awkward to move
around in. The room is lined with shelves.
These hold material components for nearly
any imaginable spell. Some are fairly common,
while others are downright exotic. The
shelves seem to be organized by spell type.
Spellcasting PCs may want to replenish
their spell components from the materials
here. The likelihood of finding the component(s)
for a specific spell depends on its level,
as follows: 1st 95%, 2nd 90%, 3rd 80%, 4th
70%, 5th 50%, 6th 40%, 7th 20%, 8th 15%,
9th 10%. There is, however, a 100% chance of
finding components for any “Bigby’s-” spell.
The closet across the hall from the storage
room is Bigby’s modest wine cellar. It houses
nearly fifty bottles of wine of various vintages,
from as recent as three years ago to one bottle
that is fifty years old.
Storage Room B
This whole area is stuffed to the ceiling with
boxes, crates, and containers filled with nonmagical
junk. In fact, there is so much bric-abrac
that any attempt to inventory its contents
here would be futile. If the players are determined
to search, make up the contents as you
go along, strongly hinting to the players that
they are wasting their time.
Aftermath
Bigby’s will is very specific in its listing of
magical items stored in his hidden room, so
the PCs will be well-advised to resist the temptation
to appropriate some of it without permission.
Even if they did not find the will,
Mordenkainen certainly will, and he or his
agents will come looking for the PCs to retrieve
any stolen property. If the adventurers
bring back an accurate accounting of what
they found, Mordenkainen’s agents will give
each survivor 500 gp and an appropriate magical
item of 500-750 XP value. If one or more of
the characters ask for a specific item from
Bigby’s trove, the DM needs to decide whether
or not Mordenkainen gives it to them.
If the PCs fail to find Bigby’s treasure trove,
or worse, fail even to get into the house, then
Mordenkainen will do the job himself, giving
the PCs only 50 cp each for the botched effort.
Of course, if the PCs don’t care about the
consequences, the DM may find himself with a
group of characters who have just come into
possession of a lot of new magical items. . . .
Library
The east wall of the library is covered with
wood paneling, the only wall in the basement
that is not stone or brick. Three rows of bookshelves,
stuffed with books, run nearly the
entire length of the room. However, only one of
the shelves contains spell books. The other
two have volumes on magical history and theory,
theology, astrology, science, and general
scholastics. A disembodied hand roughly the
size of a child’s floats casually around the
room, and nothing the PCs do affects it. It is a
permanent bookworm bane, set to protect the
library against bookworms.
The closet is lined with shelves that hold
astrolabes, divining rods, tarot cards, crystals,
miniature pyramids, drafting tools, ink pots,
paper, and other essentials.
The entrance to the secret room is located
on the east wall, behind a chart that shows
acupuncture points of the human body.
