Denizens    

Two Gripilli Scouts (Perception +6, Stealth +9; Bestiary 2 pg. 139) are milling from this level to the roof, keeping watch for approaching intruders. They engage intruders with their darts in the first round. On the next round, one scout scrambles to a signal bell on the roof. If they activate the alarm, the roving guard squad on this level arrives in 1d4 rounds to reinforce them (provided they were not Killed earlier)

Treasure

Each Scout carries a dose of Spear Frog poison in addition to their standard loadout. The signal bell on the roof is a gorgeously crafted bronze bell inlaid with lapis bands carved with an Aquan Script; ɥirā ân jeng zhuy zhuyûnuē  (The Watch Protects the Earth While the Giant Sleeps)  worth about 12 GP
