Map of the Estate

## Approach Description

The Terasse Estate is a modest rowhouse residence in the Castle Ward. It looks fairly similar to all the other rowhouses on the street.

## Regulars/Occupants/Notable Characters

### Keln Trigos

Keln is a tiefling priest and Xanathar operative. He sometimes provides healing, but mostly runs the house as a gladiatorial gathering point. Those who wish to attend the combats in the Lair must go to a gathering point in order to be escorted in and out.

## Rooms/Sections/Neighborhoods

### Area 1 – Front Door

**Those coming to the Terasse Estate must give a specific knock and an accompanying pass-phrase to be given entrance.** There are two different combinations, one for healing services (“I heard the red hand was hot”) and another for the gladiatorial gatherings (“the bawdy star shines bright tonight”).

### Area 2 – Dining Room

Those here for gladiatorial gatherings are brought together in this room for light socializing and the enjoyment of various delicacies placed upon the table. (Roasted bulette with rare Shou Louan spices. Rothé carpaccio with vargouille head cheese.)

### Area 3 – Kitchen

A large rug of reddish scales covers the floor here. This can be thrown back to reveal a **trap door** with a narrow staircase leading down to an underground dock. Those heading to the gladiatorial gatherings will be blindfolded before being led down the stairs, and the blindfolds will remain in place until the boat arrive at another secret dock in the caverns near Skullport. This dock connects to a passage which intersects the one leading from Area X4 of Xanathar’s Lair to the Guts & Garter in Skullport.

### Area 5 – Upper Landing

An ancient tapestry on the wall depicts a heavily stylized beholder with several humanoid figures of various races bowing in obeisance before it.

* **Injury reports:** A logbook hanging on the wall here records those who have been treated here. The names listed are clear pseudonyms designed to keep the patrons of this house of healing anonymous. One recent entry, however, notes, that a particular wound from an arrow was the result of “incautious observation of the windmill on Coachlamp Lane”.
	+ (*GM Note*: This refers to the Converted Windmill, a Cassalanter outpost.)

### Area 6-7 – Master Suite

This is Keln's bedchamber with walk-in closet.

* **Desk:** Trigos has a variety of expensive stationaries and writing utensils for performing his correspondence, but he also hs a burn-pot that he obviously uses to destroy that correspondence on a regular basis. One recent bit of correspondence he hasn’t had a chance to reply to yet, however, is *Instructions for Gladiatorial Weaponry*

### Areas 8-10 – Sick Rooms

These bedrooms are used by Xanatharian agents who need healing.

* **An Ill Man's Note**: “Orb Confectioners. / Eight small eyes. / How would you like those arranged? / Around an ocular cake.”

## Secrets & Loot Within

### Instructions for Gladiatorial Weaponry

> “The shipment of special weapons that X requested will be sent by Grinda Garloth in Mistshore. See that they’re bundled up and sent along with the next audience procession. -Ahmaergo”

*GM Note*: If it becomes notable, this is simple a bunch of vicious-looking oddities — many of them foreign weapons from distant lands — destined for the gladiatorial combats.
