This area is where the Redbrands repackage their stolen wares from containers with recognizable merchant marks to unadoned wooden crates.
Treasure - 30 beaver pelts worth 2 gp each.
Room 8 - Crevasse
Area - Large, misshapen. ~ 30' wide, 50' long. 10' crevasse runs N to S down middle of space, with wooden bridges crossing gap at N and S ends. Arched passage N, corridors at NW, SW, SE. Tunnel S leading 100' outside to local forest.
The Nothic is replaced by three Demon Larva. They will rush to attack anyone who enters the crevasse. The Redbrands have blocked the S end of the crevasse where it becomes a tunnel with a barred gate to prevent the larva from escaping. Bandits who need to enter through the tunnel have to get the attention of the guard who lures the larva to the N end of the crevasse with rotten meat and then drops a crude wooden portculis from the N bridge to trap the larva while the bandits in the tunnel enter the lair proper.
A bored guard is leaning against the SW column throwing rocks at the larva. He will stare at the PCs in disbelief when they enter the area. On his intiative he will yell for assistance while dropping the S bridge. The bridge, when dropped, becomes a ramp for the larva to crawl out of the crevasse and attack intruders on the E side. If the PCs are wearing red cloaks he will hesitate, giving the PCs a surprise round.
The body of Thel Dendrar is easily visible in the N end of the crevasse. It is obvious the larva have been eating off him.
Attached to the bottom of the N bridge is a cleverly hidden flat chest placed there by a brighter than average Redbrand. For contents see Treasure.

Demon - Larva
Warrior 1 w/ sword and bow.
Treasure -
- One potion of Hero's Brew in an iridescent blue-green wine bottle.
- One potion of Cure Light Wounds in a battered metal flask.
- A bundle of thin wood strips cleverly tied together so when unrolled they lie flat. Written on each wooden strip is a string of unfamiliar characters which glow slightly with a green light. This is a jiandu of the Luse Denglong, which when read grants the reader the effects of both the Brightest Night and Detect Evil spells out to 60' for 30 minutes. In addition those under the effect of the Glowing Harlequin have the ability to Smite Evil on one attack as per the Paladin feature (+2 to hit and damage unless the target is an evil outsider, dragon, or undead when the damage bonus increases to +4). Using the Smite Evil ability ends the enchantment of the Glowing Harlequin. When translated the incantation on the scroll says "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, to Evil smite."
- A longsword +1.
- 5 pp of an exotic design, strung together through holes in the center of each coin by a soft but strong thread.
