Kitchen – Temple of Elemental Evil Area of the Week 02/28/03

This page is a part (Dungeons of Elemental Evil #120) of a playthrough that spanned the year of 2003. All the information was taken from TSR’s original AD&D adventure, the Temple of Elemental Evil.


For the players: This place is 20′ x 30′, with three doors in the southern portion — east, south in the west corner, and west, A high, broad fireplace with numerous side ovens dominates the north wall. The fireplace is large enough to roast a whole ox. The room is littered with broken containers and dishes, trash of an unidentifiable sort, and pieces of wooden tables, counter tops, and the like. Several skeletons are visible, including one which appears to be that of an ogre.

For the DM: Within the darkest recesses of the unused fireplace dwells a giant poisonous snake. It is coiled and may strike by surprise (50% chance). It has not eaten for a long time, and is very hungry. It can strike to 8 foot range, half its length, and attacks any creature coming within that range.

Snake: AC 5, MV 15″, HD 4 + 2, hp 21,
#AT 1, D1-3 + poison, SA bite = save vs. poison;
take 3d6 damage if made, die if failed;
attack range = 8′ 1/2 length); XP 495

Near the ogre skeleton is a usable shortsword (its “dagger”) and a leather sack containing 84 gp. These are hidden under a small pile of nondescript debris.

The ten-foot-square rooms were used for crockery storage and food storage, respectively for the south and west areas. Their contents are broken and smashed; foodstuffs are spoiled.
