Black Tooth Gnolls

1d4+2 Black Tooth Gnolls (AC 5; MV 9”; HD 2; hp 6, 9, 8, 3, 5, 11; #AT 1; D By weapon type +1 to damage due to strength; XP 32, 38, 36, 26, 30, 42)

Each gnoll has applied black material to their teeth, making it appear as if they lack teeth at first glance. For treasure, each has 0-9 (1d10-1) gold crescents, 0-22 (2d12-2) silver spanners, and 0-22 (2d12-2) copper pieces. Each gnoll will carry a broad sword and one second weapon: three have battle axes, two have morning stars, and the last has a guisarme.

This entry represents 6 Black Tooth gnolls who are on a jaunt about the dungeon level. They are just out looking for trouble. If these 6 gnolls are killed they may be replaced with gnolls from Room 80. If the Black Tooth territory is attacked by adventurers, these 6 gnolls may later be encountered as reinforcements after the initial assault, having returned from wandering.

Black Tooth gnoll patrols will stop if the Black Tooth gnolls are completely eliminated. If this is the case, treat rolls of 01-05 as 21-25, Corpse Flies, instead.

This entry represents 5 Yellow Fang gnolls who make patrols of the dungeon. This is more out of boredom and a search for a fight than any sense of duty. If these 5 gnolls are killed they may be replaced with gnolls from Room 64. If the gnoll's territory in Rooms 60 to 65 are attacked, these 5 gnolls may be encountered as reinforcements to the tribe, having returned from wandering.

Yellow Fang gnoll patrols will stop if the Yellow Fang gnolls are completely eliminated. If this is the case, treat rolls of 91-95 as 78-80, Slub Beetles, instead.
