Adventure - SotD - Beneath Grenton
This was a side adventure to Slaves of the Dragon. In SotD, the party discovered that the small village of Grenton had been overrun and infested by kobolds, who had constructed a parallel city underneath the village. Most of the buildings in the village had trap doors leading into the tunnel system. The kobolds used this network to terrorize, spy on, and enslave the natives.
The party confronted the kobolds in the village, and found that most of the kobold colony had fled, abandoning the complex. After defeating those who remained behind, a subset of the party descended into the tunnels to explore the complex. This is what they found.

- In Jeline’s house in Grenton is a trap door that leads down to a dirty hexagonal room with a tunnel that leads north and down.
- The tunnels under Grenton are exactly six feet high and wide.
- Other tunnels branch off from the tunnel north of the hexagonal room under Jeline’s house in Grenton, and it finally leads to a larger room that is separated from the tunnel by a curtain.
- Behind the curtain separating it from the tunnel leading from the hexagonal room under Jeline’s house in Greton is another hexagonal room, with a fireplace in the exact center, several straw beds along the walls, and 4 exits, 3 covered with additional curtains.
- The second hexagonal room under Grenton contains 30 beds and 5 exits. The one to the east has no curtain. Curtained exits are to the north (2) and to the northeast.
- Grenton is southwest of Orussus.
- The two tunnels to the north leading from the second hexagonal room under Grenton each lead to a small hexagonal room with a single bed, a table, a toilet hole, and a supply of fresh water.
- The uncurtained tunnel to the east of the second hexagonal room under Grenton leads to a large communal toilet.
- Grenton lies almost on a line between Orussus and Alimon.
- Bells line the tunnel that leads northwest from the second room under the town of Grenton.
- The tunnel that leads northwest from the second room under Grenton leads to a shrine.
It is, again, a hexagonal room. Each wall is decorated with intricate carvings. The wall directly across the entrance shows mountains. To its left, a large sun, to its right, a volcano. The other three walls are mostly out of your line of sight, but you think you can make out an ocean and a star-filled night, respectively.
The floor shows carvings of similar theme in the area before the walls. Rocks before the mountain, flames before the volcano, rays before the sun, waves before the ocean, more stars before the night sky, and sand before the entrance you stand in. What you see of the ceiling evokes the thought of a scaly hide with hexagonal scales.
In the exact center stands a hexagonal table. It takes but a glance to see that is is a small model of the world, just without the fabled Elemental Towers. The table is surrounded by six candles on high pedestals.
Just before the table lies... a bundle of grey scales and skin, bedded on a mixture of sand, earth, rock and leaves, with a small bowl at its side. Inside the bowl is water, and a swimming candle.
