Two cloud giants, a noble and his traveling companion,
have come to hear from King Snurre why his war-
fare will profit them and make them more powerful.
The giants have two lions serving as watch-animals
at the door. The noble has a chain mail coat (AC 16),
and both have their great morningstars and throwing
rocks nearby.
The chamber contains two very large beds, two ward-
robes, two small tables, a large table, two chairs, two
stools, two buckets, a cabinet, a bench, and four chests.
The place is illuminated by torchlight, and there are
tapestries on the walls, rugs and hides on the floor, and
furs on the beds.
Treasure. On the small table near the bed to the south
is a platinum box set with moonstones and sunstones
(worth 1,000 gp) that holds ten gems (worth 100 gp
each), which are a present to the visitors from the king.
15. TROLLS' CHAMBER
Six troll guards nest in this room. Two of them keep
watch in the northern passage (within the area marked
by Xs) and two others do the same in the southern
passage. The other two monsters are in the central
chamber. Dozens of various polearms, morningstars,
and swords lie heaped in the middle of the room. (These
are used to arm the gnolls currently penned in areas
16 and 17.)
Treasure. Each troll has a nest of sticks, bones, hide
and skin scraps, and other nauseating material in which
is hidden 50 gp.
16. THRALL PEN
Sixteen unarmed gnolls dwell here. Each has nothing
but a heap of straw and a hide coverlet. Although these
creatures are slaves of the giants, they identify with
their masters' cause and will never help humans for any
reason- in fact, they will gladly take up arms to fight in-
truders if given the chance.

17. THRALL PEN
Ten unarmed gnolls dwell here. They will behave in all
respects like their kin in area 16.
