D2 (Loading Bay)

This room now contains an encounter - there's no real reason not to include one here, and the added experience will help keep the leveling scheme on target. The cultists here follow the same routine as those in area D3, responding to inquiries calmly while carefully positioning themselves to strike. I suggest the following encounter for a party of five adventurers:

• 1 Cultist Warlock (Dungeon #157)
  
• 2 Crimson Acolytes
• 4 Snaketongue Initiates
• 1 Zhent War Mage (Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide)
  

Total: 1,550 xp (Level 7 Encounter)

Though there are masks (and robes) kept nearby, the cultists' masks are non-magical.
