THE GROUNDS 15II WICK'S ROOM.

15II WICK'S ROOM. This room is obviously a work room and bed room combined, with the bed room portion being an afterthought. It holds tools and dozens of half-built mechanical contraptions. One huge humanoid structure is operational.

Mechanical Death Weapon (AC 5; MV 9”; HD 4+1; hp 25; #AT 1 fist; D 1-10; SA Breath weapon; Size L; XP 290)

This ogre-sized construct resembles a metal man. It can breath a belch of fire once every three rounds. The breath weapon is 2” long, 1” wide, and 1” high and does 10 points of damage to everyone caught in its area of effect, saving throw applicable for half damage. It is powered by a pink, rhomboid ioun stone, which is located in its chest beneath its armor plating. The stone will radiate magic, but the characters will have to take apart the mechanical being to get at it, a process that will take about a turn if they use the tools from this room.

This room belongs to Wick, a mechanically inclined halfling. The Death Weapon is his finest achievement. It is half-completed, but if given another month he could make it as strong as a hill giant.

A search will reveal 17 platinum ingots used by Wick in his building. They are worth a total of 310 gold crescents.
