CHAPTER IX: THE UNDERWORLD ENVIRONMENT
Zamacona felt no immediate premonition of evil upon entering that ominous doorway, though from the first he was surrounded by a bizarre and unwholesome atmosphere. The passage, slightly taller and wider than the aperture, was for many yards a level tunnel of Cyclopean masonry, with heavily worn flagstones under foot, and grotesquely carved granite and sandstone blocks in sides and ceiling. The carvings must have been loathsome and terrible indeed… After some distance the tunnel began to dip abruptly, and irregular natural rock appeared on all sides. The passage seemed only partly artificial, and decorations were limited to occasional cartouches with shocking bas-reliefs.
Following an enormous descent, whose steepness at times produced an acute danger of slipping and tobogganing, the passage became exceedingly uncertain in its direction and variable in its contour. At times it narrowed almost to a slit or grew so low that stooping and even crawling were necessary, while at other times it broadened out into sizeable caves or chains of caves. Very little human construction, it was plain, had gone into this part of the tunnel; though occasionally a sinister cartouche or hieroglyphic on the wall, or a blocked-up lateral passageway, would remind Zamacona that this was in truth the aeon-forgotten high-road to a primal and unbelievable world of living things.
For three days, as best he could reckon, Pánfilo de Zamacona scrambled down, up, along, and around, but always predominately downward, through this dark region of palaeogean night. Once in a while he heard some secret being of darkness patter or flap out of his way, and on just one occasion he half glimpsed a great, bleached thing that set him trembling. The quality of the air was mostly very tolerable; though foetid zones were now and then met with, while one great cavern of stalactites and stalagmites afforded a depressing dampness.

Dungeon & Cavern Mapping Symbols: These stylized symbols are based on the classic TSR module map sets and are an ideal reference for making your own 'old-school'-style maps.
Dungeons: These general tables are intended to help detail features of random or purpose-built dungeons. They are not intended to be a complete 'dungeon generator', but to supplement those tables found in OSRIC.
Encounters in the Dungeon: These random encounter tables are sorted according to level and including monsters from OSRIC, Monsters of Myth and this volume.
Ruins: This page provides tables useful to the DM when detailing both underworld and wilderness ruins.
Graves & Tombs: With these tables the DM can generate anything from a single grave up to a royal
mausoleum, along with any treasures and guardians within.
Caverns: These tables are most useful for underworld exploration. Given the type of passage, direction and special features can be generated to further detail both large and small subterranean complexes.
Mines: With these tables, the DM can detail both active and abandoned mines as well as their inhabitants. If the party is engaged in prospecting, these tables are especially useful for generating the actual output of mine, encounters with claim jumpers and the like.
Tricks & Traps: Finally, this series of tables offer a comprehensive system for generating unique and interesting traps and trick devices. The DM is encouraged to consult them as an inspirational resource when preparing his or her own adventures or as an aid in random dungeon generation.

DESCRIPTIONS
Academy/Hermitage: A facility dedicated to religious, magical or martial study and training. For additional details consult Chapter X, Schools, Academies & Training Halls. Typical encounters: Magic-Users, Clerics, Assassins, Kung-fu Monks, Paladins
Arena / Death Maze: A dungeon designed to test or kill those unlucky enough to enter. Possible encounters could include enemy combatants, deadly monsters and traps and tricks designed to kill the unwary. Typical encounters: Traps, tricks, monsters
Bottomless Pit: A very deep (not necessarily bottomless) shaft. Individual dungeon levels may be on ledges at various points along the shaft. Typical encounters: Dragons, demons, devils
Communal Lair: The dungeon houses one or more communities social monster types. Depending on the circumstances, the dungeon may have been dug or burrowed out (e.g. giant ants, kobolds), a natural cavern, or an older ruin that was simply approprated by the current inabitants. Typical encounters: To determine the primary inhabitants consult the table below: Communal Lair.
Cult Headquarters: The base of a (usually evil) religious cult. To generate additional details consult Chapter XI: Weird Cults & Heretical Sects. Typical encounters: Clerics, Druids, Paladins, cultists
Fortress / Citadel: A military facility designed primarily for the self-defense of its inhabitants. The dungeon may be entirely underground or may be built under a surface structure like a castle or keep. To generate additional details consult Chapter X: Fortresses, Castles, Keeps & Towers. Typical encounters: Fighters, barbarians, cavaliers, bandits, brigands, thieves, demi-humans, humanoids
Mad Wizard's Playground: A dungeon designed by an eccentric and powerful mage with inscrutable motives. Such a dungeon could include almost anything or anyone. Typical encounters: Tricks, traps, golems
Mine: The dungeon is either a working mine inhabited by its original builders or abandoned and possibly inhabited by monsters or other invaders. The GM should decide who the original builders were and the current status of the mine. To generate additional details consult the Mines section later in this chapter. Typical encounters: Humans, dwarfs, dvergar, gnomes, orcs, goblins, insects/vermin
Natural Cavern: The dungeon is actually a series of natural caverns which may have been expanded or worked by intelligent inhabitants. To generate additional details consult the Caverns section later in this chapter. Typical encounters: Any subterranean humanoids, non-humans, insects/vermin
Gaol / Prison: This is a facility originally designed to house prisoners. It may still be functioning as a prison, in which case the GM should generate the types and numbers of prisoners and guards. To generate additional details consult Chapter X: Gaols & Prisons. Typical encounters: humans, humanoids, demi-humans.
Ruins: The dungeon is a ruin of some type. In some cases it may be constructed under surface ruins. The GM should decide on the original builders, the age of the ruins, and the current inhabitants if any. To generate additional details consult the Ruins section later in this chapter. Typical encounters: Undead, humanoids, bandits, brigands, insects/vermin
Sewers: These are tunnels and waterways constructed to convey effluent. They are usually, but not always, constructed under a settlement of some sort. The GM should decide whether the sewers are still operational, the original builders, and the current inhabitants (if any). Typical encounters: Slimes, jellies, otyughs, insects/vermin, Thieves, Assassins, cultists
Solitary Lair: This dungeon is the dwelling place of a single and usually quite powerful monster. In some cases, the monster may have a number of weaker servitors. Typical encounters: To determine the primary inhabitant consult the subtable below: Solitary Lair.
Subterranean Settlement: The dungeon is a subterranean city, town, or village. The GM should decide on the who the original builder(s) of the settlement were and the current inhabitants. To generate additional details roll on the subtable Communal Lair and then consult Chapter X: Settlements. Typical encounters: Dwarfs, dvergar, gnomes, humanoids, intelligent non-human groups
Temple / Shrine: To generate additional details consult Chapter XI: Temples & Shrines. Typical encounters: Clerics, Druids, Paladins, cultists
Thieves' / Assassins' Guild: To generate additional details consult Chapter X: Underworld Guilds. Typical encounters: Thieves, Assassins
Tomb / Crypt: To generate additional details consult the Graves & Tombs section later in this chapter and Chapter X: Graveyards & Necropoli. Typical encounters: Undead, insects/vermin
Treasury: The dungeon was constructed by someone or something to store a vast hoard of wealth. The treasure (and guards) may or may not still be present. Typical encounters: Tricks, traps, golems, guardian daemons, human/humanoid./monster guards
Underground River / Lake: This dungeon is similar to a natural cavern (c.f.Caverns later in this chapter) but its most predominant feature is a subterranean body of water or another liquid (e.g. lava). Typical encounters: Troglodytes, lizard men, batrachians, aquatic monsters/animals.

DIRECTIONS: The table below offers some suggestions for detailing empty rooms. Good dungeon designers will make an effort to make these rooms something more than just 'empty rooms' with additional dungeon dressing details that. In a classic, 1st -edition style dungeon, about 10% of rooms should be empty of monsters, treasure or other encounter items. Empty rooms help build tension and mystery amongst the players and also serve as natural resting points where the party can regroup and plan their next exploration. The GM should remember to roll for wandering monsters when the players are in an empty room.
| Empty Rooms | |
| 1d20 | TYPE |
| 1 | Room shows evidence of some brutal combat having taken place in the recent past. Walls are covered in bloodstains and bits of gore. Bones or rotting bits of flesh cover the floor. |
| 2 | Areas of the walls and floor are faded or stained, as if the room once contained several pieces of furniture or other furnishings, now missing. |
| 3 | The room appears as if it has been refurbished. The walls are spotless and the floor is unmarked as if recently retiled. Otherwise, there are no furnishings. |
| 4 | The walls here are splotched and covered in mold as if the room had once been flooded. Rotten bits of wood and textile can be found on the floor. |
| 5 | Whatever it's original purpose, this room has been used as a toilet by whomever lives nearby. The stench is almost unbearable and the corners are piled high with feces. |
| 6 | The walls and floor of this room are covered in names from every conceivable race and culture scrawled in black charcoal. On the ceiling, in big red letters is the caption ' People Zaxes Doesn't Like'. Who or what Zaxes is or who the other names belong to is a mystery. |
| 7 | Some great conflagaration has enhulfed this room. Both the walls and floor are scorched and black and in places appear melted by some great heat. |
| 8 | A large square is drawn in the middle of the floor in chalk and in it is written the word 'IN'. On the floor near the door through which the PCs enter is written the word 'OUT'. |
| 9 | The room is completely empty but is permeated by a sickly sweet odor as if someone has recently been smoking pipeweed. If re-entered at a later date, the room will still smell as if someone has only recently been smoking here, but will still be completely empty. |
| 10 | The walls of this room are covered in frescoes depicting ordinary life in a dungeon, if such could ever be called 'ordinary'. Certain figures have been deliberately scraped away by some unknown hand. |
| 11 | In one corner of the room is a fake trapdoor. If opened, it reveals only featureless bedrock. |
| 12 | Cobwebs fill the room from top to bottom. If burned or brushed away, a task that takes 1d3 turns, nothing whatsoever, including a spider, is found in the room. |
| 13 | The entire room radiates a palpable evil dweomer although it is completely empty of both occupants or objects. |
| 14 | Although empty, a trail of ants leads from a crack in one corner of the room, across the floor and up the wall into another small crack in the ceiling. |
| 15 | A distinctly funky smell pervades the room, and traces of bodily fluids can be seen splattered hither and yon. Crude sexual sketched are scrawled on the walls including an inscription in Common that reads 'For a good time, call Big Steev'. In one wall, at waist level, is a small hole that proves to be only 3 inches deep if probed. |
| 16 | The room is bathed in a pale white light with no obvious source. A distant humming can be heard. If 1d2 turns are spent searching the room, the PCs find an inscription in one corner, in very tiny Common the phrase “There is no reason and the truth is plain to see.” |
| 17 | The layer of dust that blankets the room appears to have been recently disturbed by someone or something who apparently removed what could have been a large treasure chest once sitting in the corner. Marked on the dust in the floor nearby are the words 'Jaymal was here'. |
| 18 | The room is very cold and dust-covered. Small footprints lead from the door to the center of the room where there is a kobold sized snow angel. |
| 19 | This room is enshrouded by permanent magical darkness but is nevertheless, completely empty. |
| 20 | This room is completely unremarkable and empty. |

DUNGEON CENTERPIECES
DIRECTIONS: Centerpieces are installations in a room. They can be blessed, cursed, trapped, or offer important information. Roll once for the type of centerpiece and again for the details about that object or location.
In general, a good centerpiece room can be a focus of the player's exploration, or the site of a climactic final battle. A good GM should not simply rely on these tables to detail such locations but use these results as inspiration for building an interesting encounter location on their own.
| Centerpieces (roll once for type and once for details) | ||

ANIMATED STATUARY
DIRECTIONS: A longstanding trope in dungeon design is the animated statue. These can be simple guardians (c.f. OSRIC, Carytid Column) or they may be more complex features that can either help or hinder delvers exploring the dungeon. The following two tables help determine the form of the animated statuary and their actions when confronted with explorers in their vicinity.
| Animated Statues | ||
| 1d12 | FORM | ACTION |
| 1 | Human | Raises Ability score (Save vs. Spells allowed) |
| 2 | Demi-human | Lowers Ability score (Save vs. Spells allowed) |

| * Roll on the Location sub-table to determine actual site | ||||||
ALTARS
DIRECTIONS: Strange and forbidden underground altars should be a regular feature in a swords and sorcery game like OSRIC. First determine the form and details of the altar, the status of the altar, alignment and finally the aura surrounding it. Likewise, the GM should exercise his or her creativity when designing such features and the tables below used for inspiration.
| Altars (roll once on each column) | ||
| 1d20 | FORM | DETAILS |

MINES
DIRECTIONS: The GM should roll on the Prospect column in secret for each week a crew spends prospecting an area (½ sq. mile hex) to determine the contents. Once a seam is found, the GM should roll on the Mining Products sub-table to determine the actual contents. These tables assume a prospecting crew of 6. Subtract 5% for each miner fewer than 6. Having more than 6 confers no benefit, as this is the optimum size for effective prospecting. Dwarf crews gain a +10% bonus and Gnome crews +5%. Once actual mining begins, a full day of mining per crew of 6 is required to extract a practical amount of ore. Each additional week of mining beyond the first will have a cumulative chance of either exhausting the seam or expanding into the next larger category as noted in the last column. Each week the GM should also roll secretly each week on the Claim-Jumpers column and associated sub-table to determine whether or not the mining attracts additional miners, claim-jumpers or wandering monsters. In addition, the GM may decide whether a claim, particularly a mine or motherlode requires additional equipment or miners to work to full potential.
