CHAPTER 7 VALBRYN MORLYDD Illus. by J. Hodgson Gilgirn (Fiery Mountainhold) other three fire giants who live in each tower are on duty elsewhere around Gilgirn. The guards rotate their locations approximately every 8 hours. If an alarm sounds, the fire giants on duty around the complex are the first to respond, followed by the training fire giants 1 round later, followed by the resting fire giants 1 round after that. The fire giant that stands atop each tower holds his position and directs the others to any perceived disturbances. On the first floor of each tower, the guards keep their armor, weapons, an extra bunk bed, and two strongboxes for personal storage. The second floor features three sets of bunk beds, a table and chairs, and six strongboxes. Fire Giant Guards: hp 142 each (15 HD); see page 122 3.

The first floor is a hell hound kennel where the fire giant stablehand works. The second and third floors are split into four private bedrooms for the Urdred.
