Three Rooms (#13, 14, 15/365)

Trapped Sidechamber (#13/365)

"This large square chamber has several exits. Piles of rubble, broken tiles, and clumps of rotting plaster are strewn across the floor."

Contents: The Gnolls of the Tusk-Gnasher tribe have set a trap in this room, near one of the exit corridors. A victim entering or leaving the room must Test their Skill or be strung upside down into the air by a rope noose around their foot. At the same time, a nail-studded plank will whip out and smash into the dangling victim, causing 2-7 STAMINA points of damage. Lastly, an alarm consisting of strips of metal attached to the rope, will clang together noisily, alerting any GNOLLS in the immediate vicinity.

The Room of Dust (#14/365)

"This small square low-ceiling chamber is covered in piles of fine white dust that lie scattered about in heaps everywhere. Disturbing a pile causes a cloud of motes to float about in the air. You feel a sneeze coming on..."

Contents: The dust is harmless, and simply the residue and detritus of millenia reduced to a fine white powder. It can be used as a component for the ROK spell, though it needs to be treated magically first.

There is nothing else in the room, however should the Heroes conduct a fight in this room, perhaps with a wandering monster, then all living combatants must deduct 2 from their Attack Strength due to the clouds of dust that they stir up, causing much coughing and sneezing. Non-living combatants, such as Undead or Constructs, are unaffected, as is anyone wearing nose plugs or nose filters.

Fungus Chamber (#15/365)

"The floor of this stone-walled chamber is infested with large globular fungi a deep purple in color. Walking across the floor without disturbing the fungi may be difficult..."

Contents: This is Purple Globe Fungus (see The Titan Herbal, p. 54). If disturbed, such as a failed Skill Test to cross the floor of this room, the fungi will explode with a dull popping sound, filling the air with fungal spores. The spores are poisonous, and anyone in the room will suffer from uncontrollable retching and gagging, and must lose 1-6 STAMINA points.
