This mini-adventure can be added easily to any campaign or used when playing with the Deep Horizon adventure, and it should work nicely with a group of four PCs of about 13th level.

A quartet of beholders have laid claim to it and use it as a strongpoint to keep interlopers out of the ruined city while they loot it. Look to the Adventure Background within Deep Horizon for more information about how to fit this into that particular adventure. If you’re using this ruined gatehouse as a stop in your campaign, you can arm the NPCs with whatever information or specific treasure you wish so that you can draw the PCs to this location.  \nTHE GATEHOUSE  \nThe PCs can explore the ruined gatehouse so long as they take care of the beholder and its desmodu mercenaries first. Maps 3 and 3A show the gatehouse.  \nFeatures  \nThe gatehouse originally had a pair of towers three stories high, but the upper floors have fallen into ruin and the beholders have gutted them. They use only the ground floor.  \nArrow slits: Only the lowest row of arrow slits (about 5 feet above the floor) show up on the map. There are two identical rows of arrows above the ones shown on the map. Creatures behind an arrow slit have ninetenths cover (+10 AC, +4 Reflex saves).  \nLight: Phosphorescent fungus covers the entire exterior of the gatehouse (provides 5-foot radius of light) . The interior of the gatehouse is not so lighted.  \n1  \nResidents  \nThe gatehouse is currently home to a beholder and six desmodu mercenaries. The beholder is here to see that nobody enters Chael-Rekshaar until ","cbCaigbQm9KO6vP5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigbQm9KO6vP5","pdf",264869,"English","# PREPARATION\n# ADVENTURE BACKGROUND\n# THE GATEHOUSE\n## Features\n## Residents\n## Ad Hoc XP Award\n## Moat and Bridge (EL Variable)","[{\"question\":\"What is the ruined gatehouse originally and why does it matter?\",\"answer\":\"It was once a fortified gate leading into the drow city of Chael-Rekshaar.
