AREA A7: Preparatory Chamber

Whatever this chamber’s purpose might have originally been seems lost to time as it has been stripped bare and occupied by a patrol of 4 orcish warriors from the Iron Dagger Warband that has taken up residence in the northern areas of the complex. The warriors are not exceptionally silent and can be heard from any adjacent rooms with no check. They’ve set up there campfire by the base of the stairs to allow them to have a view of both the door and the portcullis while protecting the warband from intruders arriving from the hills up above.
Treasure: The orcs carry 100 gold pieces between them.
Stairs: The stairs on the southeast wall lead up to the hills above the dungeon complex.
