| Ruined Fort |
This is the Empire fort Khoth destroyed in his search for his stolen Scroll. There is not a great deal to be found here except some hints about the whereabouts of the scroll.
As soon as you get inside you will find lots of eye beasts, asps and serpents. After killing them you can look around. There remains very little of interest lying around. A few bodies however have a some equipment like Poor Chain Mail, which might be worth taking.
In the SW behind a locked door is a laboratory. There are a few potion ingredients on the table. On the desk you find plans of an underground fort across a chasm near the giants and a note to the effect that the dragon's scroll should be moved there. There is also mention of crystal with something trapped within it.
To the NW of the lab is a locked bedroom with a chest containing 65 coins. In the east wall of the bedroom is a hidden door to a storage chamber with two trapped chests guarded by a basilisk. The chests contain 90 and 75 coins.
In the middle of the cave to the north is a storage room with a secret passage in the west wall leading to the Orb Chamber with a pedestal guarded by two golems. When you have dispatched the golems (they are always tough),you find that the orb (or whatever was on the pedestal) is gone.
In the NE corner of the dungeon is a further hidden passage leading to an office with a gost. If you talk to it, it tells you that Khoth destroyed this fort because they stole a scroll describing some protections from him. It also tells about a strange blue crystal with a spirit inside, which they found in a new fort near the giants. It then realises that it has divulged a bit too much.
In the chest are a few coins, otherwise nothing of interest.
