A SAMPLE DUNGEON

This adventure is based on the dungeon map on page 95 of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Masters Guide (DMG) by Gary Gygax. The map has 39 numbered areas and is provided under the heading of A SAMPLE DUNGEON, with the first three rooms described.

The sample dungeon in the DMG is entitled “MONASTERY CELLARS & SECRET CRYPTS.” No context is provided beyond the descriptions of the first three rooms, a couple of pages of discussion about the first dungeon adventure, and the example of play starting on page 97. The map itself is divided into two main sections. We’re going to assume one section was intended to be the Monastery Cellars and the other section the Secret Crypts.
