Lower Deck

Staff Stairs

Barnaby, Lester's well-dressed and nervous boggle assistant, stands in the middle of the stairwell holding a plate of appetizers. Perception Check to overhear: “Oh no, oh no, oh no no no. Which one has the poison?!”

Barnaby the Boggle

• Barnaby is surprised by the PCs and questions whether they overheard his muttering.
• If the PCs didn't catch what he said, Barnaby offers them appetizers and closely watches them eat. Each PC that eats an appetizer makes a Vitality Check: On a 5-, they suffer 1d6 Dread and are Poisoned.
• If the PCs catch on to Lester's plan to poison Hagar Hullabaloo, Barnaby tries to bribe them with the combination to the vault or the location of B. Burgell's cookbook. “Please! You can't tell Lester I messed up. He'll throw me in the river. And I don't know how to swim!”

Store Room

Crates and barrels filled with ingredients for scrumptious snacks and ritzy refreshments. Servers wearing purple aprons rush back and forth with trays of food and drink. They pay the PCs no attention.

Kitchen

Boiling pots, burning pans, and brimming plates. The air in this tiny room is damp from the commotion and steam. It does smell delicious though.

Jarrett Slinger

• A sweaty bogril chef leaps from stove to countertop hastily plating food and yelling for servers. He's happy to help the PCs if they are willing to sabotage the party so the night ends early.
• “Plate up! Quickly, I need some clean serving dishes!”
• “That slimy Gofer isn't paying enough to complain about these Mung Mushrooms. They are perfect!”
• “I wish I could get another peek at that cookbook…”

Vault

Large, well-locked door, but is only guarded if there is a disturbance. Only Lester and Barnaby know the combination to the lock (4 - 4 - 4).
