REDHILL MINES
These ancient dwarven silver mines are reputedly haunted. The mines are naturally lit by giant scarab beetles that graze on bat guano and hunt smaller vermin of The Below. These beetles can make ear-splitting buzzing sounds and light up their abdomen with the fiery radiance. Recent incursions of outsiders from the The Below have been bad for business.GIANT SCARAB BEETLE: Large magical vermin; HD 5d10 (30 hp); AC 12; Atk bite melee +7 (1d8); SA flare; SQ glide, immune to mind-affecting effects; Str 16, Dex 9, Int 1; XP 450
