J30. ZARooz ZoRo's CABIN
Eyecatcher only
The doors to this cabin are locked. If anyone other than
Jarlaxle turns the handle of either door, a magic mouth
spell activates and shouts, "By Lolth's teeth, have you no
manners?'' The sound is loud enough to be heard by Jar-
laxle (if he is in area J29), and he comes to investigate.
The room contains the following features:
- The sweet smell of lavender permeates the cabin. (The
scent is created by magic and can be dispelled.) - A oimblewright (see appendix B) stands in a small al-
cove next to a chess table. An empty wine bottle on the
table is labeled "One-Eyed Jax" in Common.
Behind a purple curtain, a bed is covered by a soft
blue blanket and matching pillows. Next to the bed is
a wooden chest with clawed feet.
Nimblewright. The nimblewright servesjarlaxle as
a servant, and it obeys its master's commands without
question. Absent orders, it attacks anyone who discovers
the trapdoor in the floor (see below).
Secret Doors. Any character who searches the cabin
and succeeds on a DC^15 Wisdom (Perception) check
finds a secret door leading to a walk-in closet (areaj28)
and a secret trapdoor in the floor.
The trapdoor has an arcane loci<. spell cast on it, but
rapping on it three times suppresses the spell for l min-
ute. Alternatively, the trapdoor can be forced open with
a successful DC 25 Strength (Athletics) check.
Below the trapdoor, a metal ladder descends to the
bottom of a 10-foot-long, 3-foot-diameter steel tube
with a circular metal hatch at the bottom. The hatch is
opened by turning its valve wheel, which grants access
co area Ul on the Scarlet Marpenoth. This area is magi-
cally pressurized to keep water from entering the ship if
the hatch is opened while the submarine isn't docked.
Treasure. The chess set features jade pieces shaped
like drow and is worth 2,500 gp.

sticking into it.
A ttack Mannequins. As a bonus action,Jarlaxle can
command the five magic mannequins to animate and
attack a single target of his choice. Each mannequin has

damage become inanimate untilJarlaxle uses another
bonus action to reanimate them. A mannequin targeted
by a mending cantrip regains 1 hit point.

aboardjarlaxle's ships doesn't extend to the Scarlet

nearby drow who hear a fight break out will investigate
and team up to repel boarders.GNOME ENGINEERS
