19. Maggot God’s Cave

A natural earthen cave, stiflingly humid. The half-chewed remains of Hal the sewerman, still wearing his sewerman’s mask, are slumped against a wall. The Maggot God dominates the chamber, lying curled in contented digestion. A 50' rising ledge, out of reach of the Maggot God, leads to a tunnel exit.

• Approaching Hal: The Maggot God will attempt to eat anyone that gets near to Hal unless they are wearing the silver maggot necklace (see Area 11).
• If there is a confrontation here: The troglodytes in Area 18 will rush to the aid of the Maggot God.
• Following the tunnel: The tunnel leads out of the city to the boggy marsh where Malerian and the troglodytes egress the chambers.
