D23 2-5 Temple of the Leaping Oracle; Entry Gallery

I don't like presenting humanoid creatures as threats to be attacked on sight. In this room I want to structure a reward for players that survey the situation before charging into a fight. on the previous level players may have learned about an underlying conflict among the denizens of Beg'carxi. This room presents the players with their first chance to assume a side.

Entry Gallery     Moderate 2 

A large section opens a corridor that runs the length of the level.

Design

this 80' by 60' chamber is the first section of the Beg'carxi corridor and connects to the Defender's Acsent to the Hall of Welcoming. Ten feet from the wall, the floor sinks about 8 inches lower; a fire pit sits cold in the middle of this sunken area.

Two boggard warriors (Bestiary pg. 44) are roughing up a gripilli scout near a stack of crates central to the room. If the party attacks the warriors Hrrauti, the scout slinks behind the crates. once the Boggards are defeated, the party can use three influence rounds to try to win Hrrauti over.

Treasure

The Boggards have a Lesser Elixir of Life on them
