54 — Acolytes' Chamber

ACOLYTES’ CHAMBER: There are 4 acolytes (1st level clerics) here [statistics 1], all dressed in rusty-red robes, with black cowls. Under these robes each wears chain mail and a mace at his belt. Each carries 10 gold pieces in his purse, and the leader wears an amulet of protection from good. This amulet circles the wearer with a magic barrier. The amulet serves as some protection from good attacks (attacks by monsters of some alignment other than the wearer’s alignment) by adding 1 to the wearer’s saving throws, and subtracting 1 from the “to hit” die roll of these opponents. The spell will also keep out attacks from enchanted (magical) monsters (such as gargoyles), but not missile fire attacks from these creatures. Their room contains four hard pallets, a brazier, a table, four stools, a cabinet for clothing, a water pail, a waste bucket, and a flagon of wine and four cups. There is nothing of value amongst these items.
