Lost Mine of Phandelver

~-~---------------------

This chamber wasonce an officeor storeroom of some kind.

A largestone counter bisects theroom, set withthree dusty

balance scales made of iron. Cubbyholes carved intothe

north wallare stuffedwith dusty paper scraps. Several long-

dead corpses-gnomes and ores by theirlook-are sprawled

across the floor.

Thecenturies-old paper in the cubbyholesdisintegrates

if touched, but a character whoreads Dwarvish cansee

faintmarkings on a fewscraps, recording weigh-ins and

disbursements.
