| Bat Cave |
As the name implies, there are lots of bats in here. The first part is ralatively easy. Things start getting getting a bit tougher as you get deeper in, particularly in the NE and SE. Since nobody has given you a mission to clear the cave you could leave it be at the start.
There are lots of nests in this cave. It is always a good idea to examine them as they often have useful treasure hidden in them.
A well as bats there are also rats in this cave. The cave rats are not too difficult but the mung rats are a pain. They can desease and slow you.
There are two hidden Passages: one in the SW with no monsters but a silver ring.
The second is in the NE and leads down to an area with a lot of lava and lava bats which shoot fire bolts. They can be killed with Ice Lances, arrows or meele combat. In this part of the cave there is no treasure except for a corpse in a corner across the lava. You need to be able to cross lava without taking too much damage (Safe Travel level 3 or good Pathfinder) to get to it.
When you get round the corner you come across a cave slime, which is nasty because it sprays acid, and a few undead, which are a bit easier. On the altar is an Assassin's Dagger.
If you cross the lava to the south, the rune will teach you Divine Fire L3. It is however no use trying it until you have level one or two and can cross the lava without taking too much damage.
