A Pit of Bones (#11/30, #315/365)
"This cave appears to be little more than a mossy sinkhole, whose bottom level is choked with the bones of creatures who have fallen down here and died. Sunlight streams from a hole far overhead, picking out a spot around two metres in diameter, in the middle of the bone pile."
Contents: Searching through the bones activates 1-3 old BAG O'BONES which form from the bones into strange humanoid forms and attack immediately, cackling insanely all the while. Curiously they cannot venture into the sunlight; anyone who stands within it will not be attacked by the Undead monsters.
The bones are mainly those of sheep and goats that have fallen into the sinkhole while wandering the slopes of Mount Gulugu, but mixed among them are a few other remains, such as from a human shepherd, an Orc mercenary and a Gnoll tribesman.
Salvageable gear includes 1-6SP, 1-6GP, a gold ring (10GP), a rusty sword, a small shield in useable condition, and a large sack. The sack is home to a POISONOUS SNAKE (SKILL 5 STAMINA 2, Small Bite, Light Armour, venomous bite causes 4 STAMINA damage) that bites whoever opens the sack, but is otherwise empty.
Stats:
1-3 BAG O' BONES, SKILL 7 STAMINA 8, SMALL CLAW. Edged and pointed weapons only do 1 point of STAMINA damage per hit; blunt smashing weapons do regular damage.
