+
+This natural-seeming area breaks up the entrance area of the stone dungeon into two general branches --- this branch,
+leading deeper within but usually not a return route for the monsters, and the branch through the
+[Barracks](02-barracks) and [Snare Room](03-snare-room) which leads to a different section of the dungeon. Given the
+size and terrain, few creatures ever come to the entrance this way, and the kobolds similarly ignore it, nor use it as a
+way deeper into the dungeon. They may, however, entice the PCs to go this way in search of treasure.
+
+**GHOULS:** Ghouls lurk in the lake, seeking prey. They rush PCs jumping across the islands (DC 10 skill check, only
+necessary in combat), seeking to pull them into the lake, risking drowning, where they are more easily dined upon. Two
+[lake ghouls](lake-ghoul) and eight [ghoulranhas](ghoulranha) attack the party once the *second* PC reaches the middle
+of the lake.
+
+**DROWNING:** +5 vs. PD; 2d6 damage; attacks every round at the start of the PC's turn while the PC is underwater; DC 15
+skill check to avoid taking damage, with the option to return to the surface, assuming the PC is not engaged in combat,
+or to hold their breath and stay submerged.
+
+**LAKE TREASURE:** At the bottom of the lake rests the remnants of devoured adventurers. Among the bones is 120 gp, two
+*potions of healing*, some ruined tomes of unknown importance, and a ruby that is always warm to the touch.
