Hordes

The area is not very heavily trapped, except for the room with the Grim Statue, which has about a dozen or so. There are a few here and there, though, and all of the magic circles have an undetectable (by my 16th level Rogue, anyway) trap. The portals (#4) randomly teleport between locations in the North, Center and South sections of the level. There are a lot of secret doors throughout this area. These are marked by the map pins on the walls. The secret doors will enter/exit somewhere in the square on the other side of the wall, typically this will be directly on the other side of the wall, but not always.

Stairs to second level in North section are blocked. An explosive (Alchemist's powder recommended) is said to be able to clear the blockage.

1 - entry/exit to the Entry Chamber

2 - Sharwyn's body: 500XP for resurrecting

3 - to next level: blocked by colored barriers (red, blue, green,yellow and white) with four levers that remove them. The color control rods are missing, so you must recover them to open the way to the next level (what did you expect?). You'll be able to recover a couple of Blue and a White control rod in this section. You can recover Green, Red and White in the section to the north. You can recover Blue, Red and Yellow in the section to the south. From left to right, the levers control the blocks in the 1st row, 2nd row, 3rd row and 4th row. So, for example, placing the red control rod in the left-most lever will only remove the red block from the first row, not the others. You'll need to move the color control rod to the other levers to remove the blocks from the other rows. Note that you do not need to remove all of the colored blocks; you just need to remove enough so that you can get through to the exit.

4 - teleport portals: teleport you to other portals on this level. Destination appears to be random.

5 - Drow raiders: Duergar Cleric, Spellcaster and Fighter; Drow Skirmisher and Archer. I got some +3 Leather and a +3 Longsword out of the one of the chests. There is a secret door in the northeast corner leading to a treasure room with four chests. Decent goodies.

6 - Orges vs. Fairies: Several Ogres whipping up on some fairies before turning their attention to you

7 - Drow ambush - Mage, Cleric, two fighters, two archers

8 - Hall of Mirrors: Daelan's body is in the southern part of the room (500XP for resurrecting). The southern of the two mirrors in the middle of the east wall produces your 'evil twin'. Your twin comes with all of your current equipment and will use whatever potions you have in inventory. It will equip your best weapon(s) and use it/them against you, but it will not change your armor arrangement. For example, when I ran into my evil twin, I had the Greater Swordsman's Belt equipped. This meant that I wasn't damaging my twin and he wasn't damaging me because we were both using slashing weapons. I swapped to a blunt weapong and pounded him with no problem. Even though I had the Greater Brawler's Belt, it either did not transfer to his inventory or he never bothered to equip it. The rest of the mirrors give one treasure item out of two or three. As soon as you take the one item, the others disappear.

9 - Grim Statue: Unlocking the door to the treasure room on the north turns statue back into a dragon; watch out for Fear effect; treasure room chest: Storm Armor, Breastplate +3, Nameless Light, Rogue Stone, Halaster's Magnifying Glass, Blue Control Rod, Ruby, and a couple or three random items; if going gets to be too tough, you can run into the little treasure room. The dragon is too big to fit through the door - you still have no way out, except through the Dragon, but you can stand in the back corner and use missile fire.

10 - Hall of Sleeping Kings: taking stuff from bones didn't trigger anything; kings will only attack what they can see; they will not attack until you are within detection range.

11 - Exit to the 2nd Level - there are tracks in front of the exit that indicate that Tomi and Linu went to that level. About the time that you get to them, the rest of the colored stones blocking the bridge will disappear, whether you had the control rod for them or not. 2000XP for opening the way to the 2nd Level.

12 - Entry/Exit to Level 1 North: the western one will bring you into The Maze; the eastern one will bring you out into a corridor where you can deal with some Orc Dart Masters and Ogres.
