FMW update 6

 

This is an old crypt area on the second level. It is down the stairs from Room 40,42 and past an Archway marked "King". The steps at 43 lead up into the crypt area. The area is also accessible from First level Room 9 down steps to secret door.  

The hinged floor grates in the crypt area, and the portcullis in Room 50 are all connected to the double link chain in Room 42. Pulling the chain to open the portcullis in Room 50 to get to the good stuff, will also open the three floor grates covering the tunnels that are teeming with ghouls and ghasts!

The portcullis in Room 50 is blocking the alcove, but the players can see the double link chain that will raise it. They can also see Grim Pearl and a satchel of goodies behind it!

Will the party backtrack together to 42 to use the chain, or split the party to get the portcullis open? Are they actually able to take on the ghouls, once the floor grates are open? They could just bypass this challenge, but Grim Pearl is quite a find and will be useful as they make their way farther into Level 2.
