5.16: Guard monsters

Monsters are sometimes found guarding sublocations, such as a lairs, caves, or graveyards. These locations may be hidden, requiring the noble to explore to find them. Often these monsters will have some rare or useful possession, or in some cases may have a prisoner. Nobles who attack and defeat these monsters can expect to obtain the monster's treasure.

Such treasures include:

• gold
• a quantity of some rare tradegood
• a magical artifact
• a book which teaches a rare skill
• a prisoner who is grateful for being rescued
