untidy labyrinth of sralls, many of which were flattened
or torn asunder by Demogorgon. Merchants who
survived the attack are slowly returning to the Bazaar
and cleaning up the mess, but little business is
happening here at present. Drow commoners go quietly
about their business, heads down and hoods drawn.
as drow patrols brutally stamp down anything that
resembles theft or looting.
Characters moving through rhc Bazaar have at least
one encounter with a drow patrol consisting of two
drow mounted on giant riding lizards (see the end of
chapter 8 for statistics). lf one or more party members
appear to be anything other than drow or slaves in rhe
company of its drow master, the patrol immediately calls
for reinforcements. which arrive in ld4 rounds. These

gia nt spiders that scuttle down from nearby rooftops.THE BRAERYN
