Black Moors Waterways, Room 4

The Well

Taking the northern water channel from Room 2 leads to similar situation as with Room 3, The Boiler. The rushing water and slippery stone cause explorers to lose their footing (Dexterity Save DC 15) and tumble down the short waterslide. The channel ends at Room 4, where the water tumbles down 20 feet into a large stone cistern. Anyone sliding can make a Strength Save (DC 15) to stop themselves from going over the edge.

This cistern is the cool water storage for the castle. The room is 50 feet tall with an open well opening at the top. The water level is currently 20 feet deep. Like The Boiler, grated pipes at the bottom supply water up to the castle. There is also a larger 5 foot channel under the water that leads westward. It is covered with an iron grate that can be pulled from its fitting with a DC 15 Strength check.

There is a Swarm of Black Moors Eels in the water that will attack anything that falls in it.

At the bottom of the well is 10d10 copper pieces, 5d10 silver pieces, and 2d4 gold pieces.
