3rd floor of Bargle's Lair.

On this floor you can find the research related to Bargle's quest to develop the owlbear. This adventure sort of became like Genesis of the Daleks but with owlbears. The party was able to get jobs working for Bargle along with the charmed ogres. Bargle was drunk enough to hire them. Eventually the party betrayed Bargle when the all went to town to get drunk and harass the villagers at the inn. Bargle died in brutal barfight. It was very Roadhouse.
