THE MANSION
Romdril Mansion is midway between
Kelburn and Jonholm, about twelve miles
from each city. It sits in a clearing that
extends approximately twenty feet from the
mansion in all directions. Beyond the clearing
is impassable forest, except for the
narrow road that leads to the mansion’s
front door. This road is unpaved and quite
rocky, and twists through the forest for three
quarters of a mile before meeting up with
the somewhat smoother thoroughfare that
runs between Kelburn and Jonholm.
The maps in this adventure describe the
layout of the mansion and other details.
Other information about the individual
rooms and areas is given below.
Upper level
Master bedroom: Romdril’s room is
sumptuously furnished. An immense canopy
bed occupies much of the area south of
the bathroom door. Next to the bed is a
nightstand, and a coat rack is at the foot of
the bed. In the southwest corner of the
room is a dresser and a full-length mirror.
The northeast corner contains a bookcase.
Two large wicker chairs sit between the
windows. The floor is carpeted from wall to
wall. (If the characters enter this room after
9:00, the room will have been ransacked.)
The canopy bed is 15’ wide, 20’ long
and 12’ in height (to the top of the canopy),
and appears not to have been slept in during
the preceding night. The coat rack
supports Romdril’s robe, a pocket of which
contains a scroll with the spell geas inscribed
thereon. On the nightstand are a
quill, a half-full stoppered bottle of normal
black ink, and a candlestick containing an
unburned candle. If the candlestick is
closely examined, it will be discovered that
the white candle has flecks of black powder
