OUTER WARD SECOND FLOOR 25 SANCTUARY.

25 SANCTUARY. When the party enters this room, they will be attacked by Ruggero Triskelion, a lemure, and his two skeletal war dogs. Each dog wears a black leather collar with bronze spikes.

Ruggero Triskelion, Lemure (AC 7; MV 3”; HD 3; hp 17; #AT 1; D 1-3; SD Regenerate 1 hit point each round, limited spell immunity; XP 116)

2 Skeletal War Dogs (AC 7; MV 12”; HD 2; hp 10 each; #AT 1 bite; D 2-7; SD Sharp weapons score half damage only, limited spell immunity; XP 48 each)

The walls are dressed stone and the floors are sturdy wooden planks. There is a large ornate blue and red rug and three tapestries line the walls. Three large plain glass windows are to the west. There are two small but comfortable armchairs and table with a bottle of fine red wine and two glasses. A cot is in the northeast corner. A small bookcase is near the windows.

The first (north) tapestry depicts an angry-looking man with brown hair (Ruggero) hunting and killing a unicorn. The second (east) is a massive battle prominently showing Ruggero dispatching an opposing knight in red and gold. The third (south) is a combat between a giant and Ruggero mounted on a nightmare. In each tapestry, Ruggero's two war dogs are each given a prominent position. Because they each wear a black leather collar with bronze spikes, the characters may realize that the skeletal dogs in the room are the same as the ones in the tapestries. Each tapestry has a value of between 251 and 350 gold crescents (1d100+250) and they each weigh about 700 gp weight. The secret door to room 26 is behind the south tapestry. It is operated by pulling on a stone which sticks out from the wall a little more than the others.

The books in the bookcase are educational literature on weapons, armor, riding, war strategy, sailing, and hunting.

The water closet is simple with a gray tiled floor and a small window high in the wall. Hot and cold running water was once available from two faucets and a basin is here to catch the water, but the system is now dry.
