Training Room<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">This large domed chamber is supported by four tall columns - each of them blackened as if by fire (fire emanating from the centre of the room).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Similarly, the floor (especially near the middle of the room) is coated in a layer of ash - at the heart of which stands, what looks like, a practice dummy clad in fine armour.</li> </ul>Examining the ash reveals that it also contains tiny fragments of charred bones and teeth. In addition, a successful (DC11) Perception test uncovers the fact that a strange mumbling sound seems to be emanating from the armoured dummy itself (a further DC14 Arcana test also reveals it to be fragments of fire based evocation chants). However, should any living creature approach within 15ft of the dummy (i.e. cross into the area beyond the pillars), the chanting will increase in volume and the dummy will spring into action.MAGICAL TRAINING DUMMYTreat the dummy as Animated Armour except that it had 50hp, is immobile (and thus grants its attackers advantage on their attack rolls), and instead of attacking with its slam attacks - each round it can be heard uttering an incantation (roll on the table below to determine the effect). Once defeated a serviceable (though probably in desperate need of repair) set of +1 half-plate armour may be salvaged from it's ruin.1-3    Bolt of fire: +3 ranged attack (as fire bolt but deals 1d8 fire damage)4-5    Cone of fire: DC12 Dex save (as burning hands but deals 1d6 fire damage to those within its cone)6    Blast of fire: DC13 Dex save (as fireball but deals 1d4 fire damage to everyone within a 15ft radius of the dummy, and 1 point to everyone else in the room).Additional notes: Assuming the kobolds lurking in area 9 have yet to be disturbed, the light of their small fire will be shining through the gaps in the door. Similarly, anyone listening at that door will hear their quiet chatter with an easy DC8 test. Furthermore, there is an additional (concealed) doorway in the north-western corner of this chamber (DC15 to find) that leads to a secret passage.</blockquote>
