THE GROUNDS 33G SECRET ROOM.

33G SECRET ROOM. This room can be accessed through one of the teleporting doors in Rooms 33D or 33N or by breaking in one of the outside windows.

The teleporter from Room 33D leads to a door on the north wall located about three feet above the floor, so adventurers entering by that path must roll vs paralyzation of take a point of damage from crashing to the floor.

Anyone traveling by the teleporter from Room 33N will come out of an open suitcase on a table near the east wall.

On the floor is a huge bear rug. Sitting in front of a roaring fireplace in a high-backed chair that almost totally conceals him is Hew Hollow.

Hew wil turn and greet the characters. He is a gray skinned man with emaciated features. He is, of course, dead.

Hew Hollow, Restless Dead (AC 5; MV 9"; HD 6' hp 35; #AT 1; D Long sword; SD Limited spell immunity; XP 585)

He is immune to spells that do not affect undead. If Hew is attacked, he will give a whistle, animating the bear rug which will attack as a real bear.

Animated Bear Rug (AC 6; MV 12”; HD 5+5; hp 33; #AT 2 claws and 1 bite; D 1-6/1-6/1-8; SA Hugs: 2-12; XP 498)

Hew does not want to fight, howver. He is actually terribly lonely and will try to get the characters to tell him stories. If he is sufficiently amused (DM judgement) , he will point out the secret teleporting door that goes through a faded painting above the fireplace. The painting is of Room 33P, showing a dark cramped room with six red dancers, and stepping into the painting takes the characters there.

If Hew and his bear are defeated, he is found to have silver and topaz cufflinks worth 100 gold crescents total.
