Basic Expert: The Caves beyond town

The caves beyond town are several hours walking distance. They occupy a layer in the rock strata and are the entrances to a considerable cave network occupied by all manor of beasts including a Dragon.

The Red Dragon doesnt actually live in the caves, rather he resides in the somewhat murky Lake on the hillside. Having enchanted the treasure trove at the bottom of the lake into a throne of waterbreathing, Tharakar slumbers on the bottom of the lake unnoticed.



Tharakar: AC -1; HD 10**; MV 90' (30')/Fly 240' (80'); AT 2 claws/1 Bite/Breath weapon; 1-8/1-8/4-32/as hp; NA 1 (1); SA Fighter: L10; TT H; AL Chaotic.
Notes: Tharakar will use Breath Weapon to boil the water causing a mist to settle over the lake and roll down into the gully blanketing the area.

Tharakar's Treasure

The Platinum Font: this is 20,000cn Platinum bowl sitting on the bottom of the lake. It has been enchanted with Clairvoyance, ESP, detect invisible, detect evil, read languages allowing Tharakar to discern any location as though the water-filled font were a crystal ball, detect thoughts with ESP, read documents, detect invisible and evil creatures.

The Throne of Tharakar: this 50,000cn solid gold throne shaped more like a pile of gold is enchanted with water breathing and invisiblity allowing Tharakar to reside below the water as long as he is resting on the gold mound while living unnoticed.

The Silver Font: this silver 100,000cn bowl is enchanted to detect magic of any item placed in it.

These magic items are pretty much impossible to remove from the 80' deep lake bottom due to their weight.
