The gnomes know a great deal about submarines and

very little about everything else. They are treated well

by jarlaxle, but a successful DC^15 Charisma (Intimi-

dation) check or a bribe of I 00 gp or more can convince

a gnome to surrender its master keys, tamper with the

engine, or pilot the submarine as the characters direct.

SUBMARINE FEATURES

The Scarlet Marpenoth has AC 20,^300 hit points, a

damage threshold of 15 , and immunity to poison and

psychic damage. Tbe submarine's structural integrity

fails when th e vessel drops to 0 hit points, whereupon

it floods and sinks. The submarine is worth 15,000 gp

intact and requires at least one pilot and one engineer

to operate. It has a maximum speed of 2 miles per hour

and can hold up to 10 passengers plus 2 tons of cargo.

The submarine has the following general features:

• fnterior spaces are unlit. (The drow and the gnomes
  rely on darkvision to see.)


• All furnis hings and features are bolted down.
  Chambers are 8 feet high, with 6-foot-high passages
  and doorways connecting them.
  Air magically circulates through a complex ventilation
  system and small metal grills set into the floors.
  Doors are made of steel and have AC 19,^27 hit points,
  a damage threshold of 10, and immunity to poison and
  psychic damage. A door's lock can be picked by a char-
  acter who makes a successful DC^18 Dexterity check
  using thieves' tools. A door can be forced open by a
  character who succeeds on a DC 25 Strength (Athlet-

ics) check. jarlaJCle and the gnomes aboard the Scarlet

Marpenoth have keys to all locked doors. All doors are

airtight while closed.

AREAS OF THE SCARLET MARPENOTH

The following locations are keyed to map 7.2.

Ul. ENTRANCE HATCH

Characters descending from Zardoz Zord's cabin on the

Eyecatcher (areaj30) arrive in this chamber. From this

side, the circular metal hatch is opened by turning its

valve wheel. This area is magically pressurized to keep

water from entering the Scarlet Marpenoth if the hatch

is opened while the submarine isn't docked to the Eye-

catcher. But if both the outer hatch and the inner door

are opened underwater, the submarine will flood.

U2. ENGINE ROOM

The door to this area is locked. A plaque on the door

reads "ENGINE ROOM" in Common and Gnomish. The

room has the following features:

The engine room is filled with machines that hiss,

whir, and clatter constantly. A rock gnome named

Breena Baffiestone monitors the machinery at all

times. Nearby is a copper speaking tube, which en-

ables her to communicate with the control room com-

mand center (area U7b).

• Drawers in the walls contain screwdrivers, wrenches,
  and other tools.
