Foul Cavern |
This dungeon is a rather cold and dark place, where you can pick up some good loot and learn a level 3 Spell.
To the east of the entrance are two drakes guarding some useful items. To the west are two more drakes. In the north wall of the western cave is a secret passage to huge dark chasm. In the middle of the chasm is some sort of building which can be reached by going around the perimeter. Whether you go round clockwise or anticlockwise is upto you. On the outside path to the west is a ghost who tells you that it is a Vahnati (the first you have met so far). He also warns you not to go to the crypt.
The entrance to the crypt in the centre is from the east and is guarded by a demon. There are two hidden doors in this crypt: in the west and in the north wall.
To the west is a long temple inhabited by various undead. There is not much loot here, but a secret door in the NW leading to a tome that teaches Bind Foe L3 and a chest with coins and a Monkey Bracelet (cursed).
To the north of the crypt is a hall with undead. At the north end are two Grave Pillars. If you look at the righthand one you find a button which you should press. In the middle of the east wall is a secret door to a chamber with a raised platform surrounded by a lava pit. Your way is again blocked by undead and there is a lych on the platform. If you pressed the button on the grave pillar in the hall to the west, there will be steps upto the platform. Otherwise you will have to kill the lych from a distance. He drops lots of good items including a Mithral Chain Mail. To the south are two chests containing lots of coins and an Anatomy Mind Crystal. Near the SW corner is a secret door to the camber with the tome.
