This sparsely furnished room contains a table, four chairs and a pair of benches, and there is a tapestry of the desert on one side. The door on the far side of the room is also locked, and another vial forces the issue.
This is a elegant private dining room. There are ornate straight-backed chairs, and soft armchairs around those, silver on the tables or on a shelf along the wall along with crystal is worth some cash. About five or six expensive, unopened bottles of wine are here, some elegant rugs, and more. All told, the rough value of items in eh room is in the neighborhood of 5000 gp. And if a Bag of Holding worked here on Hamedh…
And open doorway to the left reveals a large servant’s quarters with two working right now. There are three kegs of beer in here, rare right now in the Kasbah. A door off the dining chamber is unlocked. Behind here is room with two comfortable chairs, a desk, and simple wooden bookshelves laden with books. The desk is strewn with papers. There is a book on the desk entitled “The Escapades of Marzuq, Scourge of the Desert” Alzar takes it for later reading. The papers are requisition forms for more items, and one authorizing the drafting of 100 soldiers from the local population, signed by Marzuq, and dated four days from now in the future. Alzar grabs that form as well. He does a quick inspection of the books, and they are about trading, building things, and other manuals and how-to books.
The door behind opens into an unusual room with lush layers of furs, shins, hides, and other trophies taken from various monsters. Giant scorpion stingers and even a debbi coat. There is a door at the far end, locked, and now en-vialed with acid.
This large room contains a bedroom with a large amount of pimp-age from Marzuq. Crystal goblets, wine, rich tapestries, a large closet, and more. But there is nothing else here.
Alzar hasn’t come across anything too unusual yet. The draft for a few days hence is odd, but could easily be explained as needing more troops for the war with the desert centaurs. The book is thumbed through, but nothing too terrible is in here, it’s a puff piece about his exploits killing desert creatures and such, maybe even written by Marzuq himself.
Hmm… Alzar begins to search the room. The three acid locks won’t be hidden for too long, but he needs to find something more. This is the right place to start. Does he roll that 1 on a d6? Nope, a 4.
