### 2.1.16: Guard monsters

Monsters are sometimes found guarding sublocations, such as a lairs, caves, or graveyards. These locations may be hidden, requiring the noble to `explore` to find them. Often these monsters will have some rare or useful possession, or in some cases may have a prisoner. Nobles who attack and defeat these monsters can expect to obtain the monster's treasure.

Such treasures include:

- gold
- a quantity of some rare tradegood
- a magical artifact
- a book which teaches a rare skill
- a prisoner who is grateful for being rescued
