FURNITURE STORAGE ROOM. The door to this room is decorated with a
square design. The ceiling is vaulted and fourteen feet at its
highest point, while the floor is paneled and waxed wooden boards
instead of stone. The room contains wooden furniture. There are
three dressers, seven wardrobes, six beds, two tables, five chairs
(all mismatched), and a wooden chest. The furniture is all piled
against the west wall, and there is room for much more. Scratches on
the floor seem to indicate that heavier pieces of furniture were
being moved and out of this room quite a bit at one time.
The
wooden chest is locked and a red 'X' is painted across its top. If
opened, six fat grey worms will erupt from it.

Nesting Worms (AC 7; MV 12”; HD
1+2; hp 8, 4, 10, 9, 6, 10; #AT 1 bite; D 1-4; SA Drain blood for 2
hit points per round; XP 44, 36, 48, 46, 40, 48)
Each
of these worms is about three feet long and between four and six
inches thick. They have no eyes, but have a circular mouth, like a
lamprey, at their front end, which they use to bite for 1-2 damage
and attach to their prey. Once attached, they will begin to drain
blood on the next and each successive melee round. The rate of blood
drain is equivalent to 2 hit points of damage.
These
creatures originally belonged to the worm cultists on Level 3.
Several months past, an adventuring party stole the chest, believing
it to contain treasure, but used a divining spell to examine its
contents before opening it. Upon realizing that it held nothing of
value, they abandoned it here, leaving the 'X' as a warning.
One
of the wardrobes holds a pair of cloth-of-gold pants (worth 300 gold
crescents) on a wooden hanger with matching socks (worth 50 gold
crescents each) tucked into one pant leg.
