4. ETTERCAP NEST

Creatures: Group of purple-furred, potbellied humanoids with spindly legs. Snarling at each other about a missing pearl. Cave: Cramped, tufts of spiderweb everywhere. Floor: Neat piles of gold and lustrous objects. Ceiling: Low (10'), three narrow shafts (1').

  • Ettercaps. Five. Three go to Area 2 if Eska (Area 1) raises an alarm. Might parlay, but are fatally treasure-crazed. Squeeze through ceiling shafts with scoops of each other's loot if outclassed.
  • NPCs. Skir (animated, loud), Yisha (tiny, sinister), Grisk (old, irritable), Uliss (lumbering, dull), Chee (silver fur, elegant).
  • Treasure. 12 evenly-valued piles (some belong to wanderers). Eska (Area 1) stole a pearl from Grisk's share and hid it in Area 2.
  • Details. 200 gp, 2 pearls (40 gp each), alabaster statuette of a bull (20 gp), 2 silver incense bowls (15 gp each), jade snake bracelet (20 gp), necklace of thick gold links (30 gp).
