These entries areintended as examples to get you thinking abouthow the creatures live and act from day to day.When you sit down to create an adventure orencounter featuring a group of creatures in theirlair, you can use the organization entry (alongwith other elements of the creature description) asa creative springboard.The sample lair presented here is an outpost used bya hobgoblin war party. It also embodies some elementsof a hobgoblin tribal lair.LOCATION ANDPURPOSE OF THE LAIRThis outpost is located in a hilly area of the sort hobgoblinsfavor (see the Environment section of the MonsterManual’s Hobgoblin entry). The lair serves as a sortof advanced base for a group of hobgoblins bent ondoing some raiding. Their targets might includehuman or elf settlements, passing caravans, or perhapseven mining camps in the area.The lair itself lies below ground. Thick vegetation(trees, tangled bushes, or a combination thereof) coversthe surface above the lair, and the various entrances arewell hidden.FEATURESThe outpost consists of a series of tunnels and chamberscarved out by the hobgoblins’ slaves. It has a singlefloor that lies about 15 feet below the surface, though afew areas are slightly lower than others are. Unlessotherwise stated in the text for a specific area, the outpost’smajor features are as follows.Walls: The walls are made of packed earth mixedwith stones. The Climb DC for such a wall is 20.Ceilings: The ceilings within the outpost are 8feet high.Floors: Floors are made of packed earth and stone.Their composition is similar to that of the walls, exceptthat the floors have been smoothed over with clay andcovered with reeds and twigs that tend to crackleunderfoot. Anyone moving along a floor takes a –5penalty on Move Silently checks.Doors: The few doors in the outpost are made ofreinforced wood, and all of them have locks unlessotherwise noted. The adept in area 7 and the sergeantin area 8 have keys to all the doors.1
