 This area of the tunnel is empty however the area up is brightly lit for some strange reason.

Dungeon23 Room 93 (The Mines/Tunnel 1)

 Along the right side of the tunnel is a shallow pool of water. The pool provides cover for a nest of 14 huge centipedes (AC 9 1 h.p. MMII pg.24) Lying in the pool, mostly covered in mud is a Silver Chainmail glove worth 2000sp.

Dungeon23 Room 92 (The Mines)

Dungeon23 Room 91 (The Mines/Tunnel 2)

 Crouched in various positions in an alcove on this section of tunnel are 10 Mongrelmen (AC 5 HD 1-4 MMII pg. 92).

Dungeon23 Room 90 (THe Mines/Tunnel 1)

 Item of note, the mine cart rails split and rejoin here, just in front of a branch tunnel to the left. (Leading to tunnel 2) From within the branch tunnel can be heard strange grunting noises and dim lights can be seen.

 This section of tunnel 2 is not moist. However up ahead can be heard strange grunting sounds, and dim lights can be seen.

Dungeon23 Room 86 (The Mines)

This area has a small collapsed mine elevator that equates to a 10' spiked pit trap. Just to the right of this small room is the entrance to the Gem Pipe mine. It has been mined out of all it's precious stone so that all that is left is a 500' deep hole.

Dungeon23 Room 85 (The Mines)

 Just to the left of Tunnel 1 is the entrance to Tunnel #2. There are the carved cart track in the floor that run off into the darkness. Just to the left of the entrance is a large pile of debris the DM can use this opportunity to roll on the Random Mine Table.

Dungeon23 Room 81 (The Mines/Foundry)

 Across the floor from the other 2 smelting furnaces is a great big smelting furnace. A clever DM would have one of spiders hiding in there... The furnace is empty?

Dungeon23 Room 80 (The Mines/Foundry)

This is second small smelting furnace. There is nothing of value here. If the DM feels like he can throw nest of giant centipedes or fire beetles, after all spiders gotta eat.

Dungeon23 Room 79 (The Mines/Foundry)

Dungeon23 Room 77 (The Mines)

 Up until now I had been using the Dungeon Random Monster Table I on pg. 175 in the DMG. Now the majority of my characters are now Level 2, I will switch the Monster Random Encounter Tables Level II pg. 133 from the 1983 Monster Manual II. This includes monsters from the 1981 Fiend Folio.

 

I have also put together a Random Table for any area in the Mines that rolled up empty.

 This room has not been searched by the goblins yet. Hence, it don't smell. Nothing to see here, move along.

Dungeon23 Room 69 (The Trade gate)

 This is the entrance hall for this part of the complex. The only thing keeping the smell down to non-retch levels is that both doors to the outside courtyard are standing open. There is nothing of interest here.

Dungeon23 Room 68 (The Trade Gate)

 The goblins haven't been thru here yet. How can you tell? There are 13 ROUS's in here! (Giant Rat MM pg.81 1-4 h.p.) In a corner of the room, under a skull, is a platinum jewel encrusted pendant of the 7 Clans Mining Guild. A crossed pick and shovel on a small shield. Worth 150 pp.
