[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 3056514, member: 529"] Some ideas: - The word "packrat" comes to mind. Being fairly smart and (as I picture them) paranoid, I would say that they would each have locked rooms, perhaps they have taken over an abandoned prison (wow an actual dungeon in D&D) where they each have a cell to keep their stash of junk. That way they can't steal each other's "treasure". - A room devoted to infecting others with lycanthropy and torture. It would have manacled tables and maybe some silvered torture implements. These guys are evil and aren't necessarily nice to each other. They might infect enemies to make them experience the pain of shapeshifting (I would think it would hurt) and then torture them further with silvered items to get what they want out of them. As lawful evil creatures who usually live in urban areas, getting information is probably a major goal for them. Silvered items might be locked up or otherwise secured or hidden. - A rat's nest room where swarms of rats feed on garbage in a pit or something, ready to be released. Some rats might be used for spies, others as attackers. A swarm of rats would be nasty when lead by wererats. - Cages to hold some diseased captives, held for ransom. - Vaults of stolen silver bars/ore, locked and hidden away. If there is a shortage of silver in the area, the humans can't make silvered weapons. - Anything you might find in a thieve's guild. - Entrances/exits too small for medium creatures. (but see Teflon Billy's suggestion on Escape Artist checks) - A chamber with holes open to the sky where the full moon can be worshipped on certain nights. Altars for sacrifices; runes that appear only under moonlight. The opening could be in a very public place in a city, just not visible to passing people. For instance, it could be at the top of a hollo obelisk built over the chamber or it could be at the bottom of an unused well. Or a frequently used one. - You could have many of the same types of "rooms" that humans have in cities. There could be an entire society of wererats with a marketplace, a courthouse, a crypt, apartments with wererat families, forges, etc. Who knows what is living under the town or within the thick walls of the castle.
