The Lazy Cockatrice: Area-27: The Ardins' Master Bedroom

The Lazy Cockatrice (Hex 0203)

Area-21: The Ardins' Master Bedroom


The Ardins' master bedroom has a grand curtained bed, thick carpets an plush carpeting. A vanity here once belonged to the Queen of Tassia 200 years ago (might be worth 400sil to the right buyer.)

A fine cabinet contains chamber pots water jugs, linens and a scented oils, soap, and a wash bowl. A crossbow sits on a desk along with five bolts.

There is a safe in the corner containing the Inn:s current revenues (1,700 sil and 3,523cu along with scrolls of deed and titles.) The safe is exceptional quality, as is the lock on the door.

The Thief's Eye: It also includes an elvish magic ring set with a vitrified dwarf's eye.. If the wearer is blinded or blindfolded,  they can see through the eye on the gem, which has infravision to 60', and is immune to effects that blind it.

The safe also has a trap that fires a drugged dart. The safe includes 4 doses of the poison on the dart.

Deathtrap Lite Mechanics 

Dart Trap


Reliable. Bypassed with a concealed button on the bottom of the safe. A dart with a carefully preserved drug. Anyone opening the safe without first setting the bypass will be struck with the dart and must roll Sudden Violence modified by Strength or fall unconscious for 1d4 watches. It is armed by winding the springloaded launcher and lariat and closing the door

Disabling the Trap (Clock: 10)

  • Disable the Trigger in the Door: Only possible if the trap is not yet sprung. Sabotage modified by Intellect.

  • Open the Door and Dodge Simultaneously Sudden Violence modified by Agility -2

OSR Mechanics

Dart trap: A poison dart trap attacks anyone opening the safe without pushing a hidden bypass (discovered if the find traps roll is 15 points under the character's chance of success.) The target must Save vs, Poison or fall unconscious for 4d4 hors.
