This dungeon node is an underground bathhouse. It is connected to a surface building, and to the underworld below. It can be part of a Social Underworld faction, or independent.

GENERATING UNDERGROUND BATHHOUSES
Place a token at the center of the map. That’s the lobby, accessible through a door in the building above (John Wick style nightclub, old Roman structure, historic building, etc).
Roll your dice sized D8 and lower around the lobby. These are your mundane rooms. Roll your larger dice (D10 to D00) further out - those are the underworld baths, where stuff gets weird. You can connect the rooms at the edge of the page to tunnels leading to your other dungeon complexes.
Rooms numbered 1 through 8 are open to the public - though they may sometimes be reserved for private use by a faction. 9 through 00 are members or staff only.
Some rooms in a bathhouse may be sex segregated - in that case, use the color of the dice to determine which. Warm colors for women, cool colors for men. Or the entire bathhouse might be exclusive to one or the other.
In some parts of the world (particularly the United States) a “bathhouse” is a euphemism for a brothel or sex club. Decide if your underground baths fit that description.
CONNECTIONS
Halls in the Baths are 10 feet wide and softly lit. If they connect to a room with water, they have tile floors. Otherwise they’re soft carpet. Doors are made of varnished wood and swing both directions. Those between public and private areas are locked, but doors between rooms 11 to 00 are not locked.
Doors to the underworld beyond are sturdier than the wood doors used in the interior, and are all locked. The ones that lead to dangerous areas might also be guarded. Banging on the doors from outside will usually get an armed response, though the players might be able to talk their way past. Players who make a good impression on the bathhouse owners can get keys to these doors for free passage.
