Lord Hund's Tomb

Lord Hund's Tomb was a complex inside Undermountain.

Location
Lord Hund's Tomb was located in the second level of Undermountain. It used to have a two-way portal leading to it from the outside of the dungeon, but that one was magically destroyed in an attempt to imprison the builder of the tomb.

Structure
Lord Hund's Tomb consisted of six rooms including the hall and the antechamber: the entry chamber, the antechamber, the inner chamber, the hall, the chamber of skeletons, ad the Tomb of Lord Hund.

Entering the complex could only be done through a broken stone door. Creatures that were human or similar statue had an easy time going through the gap.

Interior

 * Entry Chamber:The entry chamber was a vaulted 30 feet by 30 feet (9 meters by 9 meters) square room. The room itself was decorated with various tapestries that were rotting by 1371 DR. The ceiling was supported by a single pillar in the middle of the room. This pillar had an inscription in Thorass. In front of the pillar was a large rock that had a metal ring on its top. Removing this one freed an aggressive darkenbeast from a shaft that killed at least six humans whose remains lay around in the shaft from which the creature came. The entry chamber's ground was covered in lichen that gave off red illumination.


 * Antechamber:West from the Entry Chamber, was the antechamber. It was a plain 10 feet by 10 feet (3 meters by 3 meters) square of a chamber except for one matter. It boasted a shelf with human bones. If somebody opened the western door to the inner chamber, the door that linked the antechamber with the entry chamber mechanically closed and three magical effects were triggered: First, all skulls in the room started to give off eerie sounds via a magic mouth effect, in other words it was harmless. Second, it caused twenty-six skeletal hands in the shelf to reveal their nature as crawling claws that attacked intruders as long as they remained in Lord Hund's Tomb. Third, it caused a stone golem to pass from the wall into the entry chamber to attack those that went into the entry chamber, for example fleeing from aforementioned undead. This golem was specifically treated to have that ability but was otherwise normal.


 * Inner Chamber:West from the antechamber was the inner chamber and with 80 feet by 50 feet by 40 feet (24 meters by 15 meters by 12 meters) the largest in the complex. Six ogre zombies were stationed to look like statues and kill anybody living who went inside the room. As an additional defense mechanism, there were two mechanical statues that opened the door to the hall when living creatures approached it within 20 feet (6 meters). These statues also made inviting gestures. This worked as a defense mechanism, because with the opening of the door, a wraith was released.

History
The person who was referred to in the complex's name, Lord Hund's Tomb, was Hund Hiilgauntlet, a member of House Hiilgauntlet, a noble family from Waterdeep that made its money by supplying mercenary services as well as military equipment.

Hund was a weirdo by the standards of his family. He was interested in necromancy and in building his own tomb. He was not allowed to build one in the City of the Dead. Therefore, he built one in Undermountain after finding a two-way portal to an area in the Arcane Chambers, the second level of Undermountain. This one was the Lord Hund's Tomb.
