B6 (Ancient Prison)

The ancient prison now holds a bevy of monsters for the PCs. A group of Stormclaw Scorpions has taken up residence near one side of the cave, but the scorpions dislike the unnatural nature of the Sinspawn who share the prison with them, and the Sinspawn consider the scorpions too dangerous to be worthwhile eating.

Place the Stormclaw Scorpions off to the left side of the prison and the Sinspawn to the right. I suggest the following encounter for a party of five adventurers:

• 3 Stormclaw Scorpions
• 3 Sinspawn Rippers

Total: 675 xp (Level 2 Encounter)

They should try to fight on their separate ends of the platform, flanking the PCs, but if no other opportunity presents itself they take advantage of the second stairway as well. If a Sinspawn has no way of reaching a PC on the platform above, it waits underneath a corner of the platform and readies an attack should a PC take a tumble over the edge.
