L9. Training Room

Within this cavern, seven wooden training dummies stand against the walls, all of them nicked and splintered. Heavy sand is strewn across the rocky floor, while blunted weapons and shields lean against the walls. A dark elf stands in the middle of the room, shaking his head and watching with a faint look of disgust as four kobolds spar with one another.

When the characters first arrive here, four kobolds are being trained by Ishel—a drow ambassador from the Kryn Dynasty. Ishel uses the drow stat block but has 24 hit points, which raises his challenge rating to 1/2 (100 XP). He carries keys to the chest in area L10 and to the secret door in area L19. If Ishel is reduced to 12 hit points or fewer, he attempts to flee through area L20 and alert Stahlmast about the intruders. If he is captured and questioned, the drow warns the characters of the steam trap in area L12. If pressed hard, he might mention that he belongs to Den Hythenos of the Kryn Dynasty, which has an agreement with Stahlmast. He can also tell the characters about the path to the Underdark in area L20.
