Making it possible to bribe the guards helps.Royal Gardens The main chamber of the old temple has been exposed, filled with water and now is a reflecting pool in a very off limits private garden.In the Public baths. As a variation to the above, one of the pools in the public baths is a portion of an old temple (hence all the marble) and houses an entrance at the bottom. This makes it very difficult to enter with equipment without raising notice.In a sewer that is backwashed by tides. Not original, but it helps place time limits on the players. In a racially or culturally distinct section of the city. PC's will stand out and locals may not only be unhelpful but hostile. Normal city watches may not come here and gangs or the criminal underworld can be in control. This can be combined with the other ideas.A rather rough bar/tavern where everyone will want to join in, or at least get a cut of the treasure. This can be fun with non linear layouts as wandering patrons turn a traditional dungeon crawl into a bar fight with monsters. When I ran this one I allowed beer to temprarily cure up to 1/2 of all damage. Meant everyone kept returning to the bar for a little more. Combined with the alchohol rules from the Equipment Guide this was devastating by morning.Monument Possibly an old ruin, or simply something erected on top of one, it helps to have a time lock that is keyed to some event such as solstice. That this happens to occur only duriing a public holiday using the location is just coincidence.Hope this helps.</blockquote>
