LEADER’S ROOM: A guard (g.) is always posted just inside the door, and he cannot be surprised. (Orc: AC 5 for chain mail, HD 1 + I, hp 6, #AT 1, D 1-6. Save F 1, ML 8, carries 2d6 silver and d4 gold pieces.) He immediately shouts an alarm if any intruders attempt to enter. Behind him are stacks of barrels and boxes and sacks extra supplies for the tribe. (One small wine barrel, 400 coins in weight, contains a good quality wine worth 55 gold pieces.) None of the other items here have value, and the foodstuffs is not up to human standards. The area to the east houses the leader [statistics 1]. He is a very large orc who wears plate mail and carries a shield. He uses a sword and attacks as a 3 hit die monster. At his belt is a magic hand axe +1 which he will hurl at an opponent, and he can do so and still attack normally in the same round of combat. His belt is made of silver, with a gold buckle (total value 160 gold pieces), and his sword has a 100 gold piece gem set in its pommel. In his purse are 8 gold pieces, 17 electrum pieces, and 5 silver pieces. His mate is equal to a male orc in combat [statistics 2], and she has a bracelet of ivory which is worth 100 gold pieces. The area is well furnished, and a small chest of drawers contains a sack with 50 platinum pieces tied shut with a rope of climbing. There is also a copper bowl, finely wrought and chased with silver, on a small table near the bed. However, it is filled with garbage and very tarnished, so it looks as if it were worth 10 silver pieces, rather than the actual 50 gold pieces, unless it is closely inspected.
