Note: This information was taken from TSR's original AD&D adventure, the Temple of Elemental Evil.
For the players: This spacious chamber is filled with opulent
furnishings: carpets of rich golden hue,
nine plush purple chairs, five green velvet
divans, ten cushions of gray watered silk,
eight satin ones of deep orange, and six
ottomans of shining black leather. Wall
murals and tapestries show scenes of
debauchery amidst a forest of fungi upon
beds of mold and like places. A throne-like
golden seat stands in the room's center.
One tapestry shows the round-bodied,
elephant-legged, fungi-headed bulbous
thing seated on the throne chair, amidst a
revelry of fungoid forms.
For the DM: All of the furnishings in this death trap
are creatures. The carpet is yellow mold; the
chairs, violet fungi; the couches, green
slime; the ottomans, black puddings; ten
pillows are gray oozes, and eight are ochre
jellies. Walking on the carpet automatically
causes the mold to send forth its poisonous
spore clouds, and the touch of warmblooded
flesh causes any piece of furniture
to change to its true form. Zuggtmoy can, of
course, relax here and enjoy herself. The
throne weighs 400 pounds and is worth
50,000 gp intact. It is so wide, however, that
it will not fit into a portable hole or bag of
holding. If smashed, the bullion value is
only 3,800 gp.
