Room 38 - Hyrex's Room
This 10'x 20' room is the new space for Hyrex the Dwarf (formerly of room 39). Commonly called in for all things related to fixing doors on the upper level (from masonry to woodworking to locksmithing), those in the know - about his skill set and not true nature - also call on him for scouting and engineering in raids.
Things used to be easier for a Kumo like Hyrex, perfectly set up in a suite of rooms that continually attracted unsuspecting new dupes. And then the replacements on the floor became more wary, and then Shirazz was somehow in charge... and the Mayor feels dangerously wrong. And it doesn't even feel safe to take advantage of being the one who put in everyone's locks. It felt like moving out to make space for the gnomes would buy some cover... but then cleaning up the room without others looking was a nightmare of planning and... Anyway, the front half of the room has his work space - table, two stools, oil lantern, and racks with locksmith, masonry, and woodworking tools. The back half is separated by a thick curtain, and (instead of webs and victims) depressingly has a bed and chamber pot. His studded leather armor and twin hand axes now stay on hooks on the wall.
It would be easier if he could stop picturing how to kill them all or how they would taste. Thank goodness for the periodic opportunities that still come along even if they aren't as satisfying as getting his neighbors would be.

The Kumo (CR 4, large monstrosity (shape changer)) can be found in Beasts from the East: Japan from Evil Beagle Games. Which doesn't seem to be on DrivethruRPG anymore, so I might have to post a 1.0a supplement for the Dungeon.
