will slither through the door in the northern
wall (from area 4). His scales form bright patterns
of deep blue and silver. He will be carrying
a vial and a scimitar in his hands, as well
as a key around his neck. The vial is another
potion of extra-healing, and the scimitar is a
scimitar +2. He will be watching the floor as
he mumbles to himself, until he notices the
party occupying his chambers. He will flee
into area 10, where he will pick up the wand of
wonder, then try to fight past the party to get
to the jungle above.

The door in the east wall is of steel, and
double-bolted. It leads to room 8.
8. Prison
This room holds all of the surviving captives;
seventy prisoners, many sick or wounded.
They are overjoyed to see the party. If not
kept in check, they will begin to cheer without
reservation. If are not hushed by the party
immediately, they will draw the attention of
the guards in room 9.
9. Guard Room
There are six halfbreed guards here, all with
snake heads and snake tails. If the party is in
area 8 and somehow convinces the yuan-ti to
open the captives’ door without raising their
suspicions, the characters will have surprise
and a free round of attacks. If the party enters
by the ramp it will have to roll for initiative.

There is nothing of value in this room other
than the swords of the guards: each sword has
set in its hilt numerous small rubies in the
shape of a striking serpent. Between the craftsmanship
and the gems, the characters can
estimate worth of the swords at 2,400 gp.
10. Treasure Vault
The key for this room is around the neck of
the priest. There are 2-8 excellently crafted
pieces of jewelry here (total value 3,500 gp), 75
small gems (10 gp each), 4,000 sp, weapons
galore, and some armor. Among the treasures
are several magical items, including a spear
+3 (which the party will discover is a lost relic
of the native village; if returned, it will ensure
them the status of heroes), a pearl of wisdom,
a dagger +2, a wand of wonder (1 1 charges,
command word “Verigor”), a long sword +2,
+3 versus reptiles, four potions of healing, and
a staff of the serpent (the command word, “Althiss”,
is worked along its length in scales).
Leaving
The settlers move very slowly due to their
wounds and sickness. They won’t all fit in the
Dragonspray The natives, if asked, will accept
the settlers, saying that, “The forest demons
will come for others. The added swords will be
welcome here.” The king will assure the party
that, combined, the two groups will be able to
withstand any assault by the yuan-ti.
The king will ask that a native group be sent
to speak with the prince, to thank him for his
concern and to ask for aid in dealing with this
problem. This group will be led by Malabur.
If the party has the spear +3 from the yuanti
treasure room, the king will ask that it be
returned. If the‘party refuses, he will insist.
Ultimately, refusal to return the spear will
mean the party will be allowed to leave, but
will forfeit their special status.
Aftermath
If the characters go to the arranged meeting
place (The Captains’) and leave a note with the
barkeeper, he will give them a free room upstairs
and tell them to wait. The prince will
speak with Malabur first. After three days,
Malabur will come to their room with an escort,
telling them to come meet the lord.
The characters will be taken back to the
cellars and asked for the information they
learned. After they do so, there will be a formal
ceremony. Each character will be handed a
piece of parchment bearing the seal of Jeon 11,
the Prince of Monmurg, granting the right to
take passage on any of his seafaring vessels.
The prince may offer the party another job:
either that of rooting out the yuan-ti, or the
next adventure in this section.
