Goon Deeps of Sargolis:Catacombs of Naltis
Danger Level (DL) and Rolls
Danger Level ranges from 0 to 3 and modifies many rolls in these tables. It starts at 0, at the first dungeon egress you encounter. All rolls on the tables are a single six-sided die.
Egresses (roll +DL)
1 behind a barrel in the basement of the Happy Ass tavern
2 a simple ladder down the hole in an alley of convenience
3 stairs seem to lead into the basement of Idim's Holy Temple - but not really
4 a pale green door between Grimshow's Curiosity Shop and Eddle's Heirlooms for Cheap
5 a portal that connects the catacombs into an empty attic of an abandoned tavern
6 under the second bridge built across the river Nals
7 a side door from the executioner's passage out of the abandoned Imperial Tower
8 a door into the City Armory - bolted on both sides
9 directly into the Ancient Vampire's resting place

2 mossy walls
3 low ceiling
4 wet walls

6 debris on floor
