INNER WARD THE CELLARS 13 GRANARY.

13 GRANARY. This room is guarded by a wax golem (see NEW MONSTERS) resembling a green skinned man in black Triskelion livery over chainmail.

Wax Golem (AC 5; MV 12”; HD 6; hp 25; #AT 1; D Halberd; SD Limited spell immunity; Size M; XP 375)

The ceiling height is eleven feet and there are seventeen large barrels and fifteen large sacks. A skeletal corpse is near the west wall. A large hole is in the south wall.

The golem was used as a bodyguard by the quartermaster. Sometime during the last days of the castle's normal life, quartermaster was wounded and fled to this room ordering the golem to guard him. Unfortunately for him the wound proved fatal and so his skeletal remains are here. It wears black Triskelion livery and also wears torn and battered chainmail. There is a short sword, a hand axe, and a pouch holding 16 gold crescents, 43 silver spanners, 13 copper pieces, and a spare key to Room 5.

The barrels hold coarse ground flour and the sacks hold oats and barley. The flour is still good, but the sacks have been ravaged by rats and are now infested with crawling vermin.

The hole in the south wall is sized for a giant rat and leads to the Rat Warrens Area D. The giant rats and brown ratkin are beneath the notice of the golem, as long as they don't disturb the quartermaster's body.
