24
CAPTAIN'S ANTECHAMBER. The door to this room is locked. The doorway
is trapped with a mechanical swinging blade that causes 10 hit points
of damage, 5 if a save vs petrification is made. It will activate
when someone attempts to open the door. The trap has not been
activated in a long time, so there are no telltale blood-spills to
warn of its existence, however, close inspection of the door-frame
will reveal a thin slit where the blade exits. There is also an oil
stain from the oil used to keep the blade swinging efficiently.
The
room was the office of Ruggero Triskelion, the captain of the Outer
Ward. There is a huge wooden desk facing the door to Room 23. The
large wooden padded chair behind the desk is massive. Four smaller
chairs are placed before the desk. The east wall holds three large
stained glass windows.
A
desk contains dated correspondence, death warrants, and requisitions
for money, armor, and weapons. The are inkwells and quills on the
top of the desk and there are five drawers. Two are empty, one
contains miscellaneous worthless items (scraps of paper, iron nails,
a candle) and the captain's personal wax seal (three daggers
radiating from a central point) with wax and necessary effects. The
next drawer contains a small bag of 15 gold crescents and the last
drawer holds a silver and sapphire bracelet (200 gold crescents) and
a brooch of shielding
(looks like an silver brooch in the shape of a swan worth about 30
gold crescents).
Ruggero's
large chair is almost a throne and his crest (the three radiating
daggers) is inscribed above the headrest.
Each
stained glass window features a Triskelion face. The scowling man is
in the center while the laughing man is to his right and the crying
man is to the left.
