H — Bugbear Lair
H — Bugbear Lair
The group of bugbears is not numerous, but what it lacks in numbers, it makes up for in strength and cunning. There are signs beside the entrance cave in kobold, orcish, goblin, etc. Each says: “Safety, security and repose for all humanoids who enter - WELCOME! (Come in and report to the first guard on the left for a hot meal and bed assignment.)”

GM notes
(DM Note: There are 2 bugbears out hunting, and they will return with a human corpse and 83 gold pieces the day after adventurers first enter the bugbear lair. They will be placed on guard duty at 35., if appropriate, and their statistics are the same as the guards there. Bugbears will stay in the place until all are dead, save the chieftain, who will seek help from the minotaur at I., 45.)
