| Slith Fort |
This is a rather complicated dungeon with many hidden passages and doors. It can be difficult to get arround. To get in you must open a locked door onto a group of Slithzerikai (a mage, a priest, 2 Warriors and 2 Sliths). They drop some nice things including a Chill Charm. The main way is to the east but it is worth first looking to the west.
Here are a few caves without much of interest except in the SW cave a chest with an Onyx Key, if you do not already have one. (It will be needed to get through the Slith Castle.) If you just want the key, you could take it and go off to the Slith Castle, but it is worth puzzling your way through to the research lab.
If you go to the east from the entrance (killing Sliths on the way) you come to a dropped portcullis. To get past it you need first to go through a small summoning chamber with three Slith priests and an imp just south of the portcullis. There are two hidden doors into this chamber, one in the NW, and a more convienient one in the south (needs Dispel Barriers). These monsters drop some useful items.
Through the door to the west you come to a corridor with doors to six cells. The NE one is locked but does not reveal anything interesting. None of the other cells contains anything. The NW one has a secret door which leads to some caves with a cave slime or two. A secret door to the south of these passages leads to a waterside bank with some spiritual herbs.
To the NE of these passages is a locked door into a room with a rune in the middle which does not seem to do anything if you step on it. To the SE is a magic barrier guarding a demon but no treasure. To the north of the door is a secret passage leading to a locked library, which contains nothing more than a couple of scrolls.
To the NW of the passages is a secret door to further caves populated by cave slimes. Towards the NW corner is another secret door to a long E-W passage with a few side arms mainly to the north. In the south wall of this long passage are two hidden doors. The western one leads to a room with a spirit and has a trapped floor. There is a Cursed Dagger to be picked up if you really want to. The hidden door slightly east of the first one brings you to the other side of the locked portcullis. At last you are getting to the place, where things happen here.
In the hidden lab everybody seems to be fighting everybody. You come across a demon and two slith priests. When you have dispached them, you find two barriers guarding a further two demons. There is a nice lot of treasure here.
In the NE chamber you can learn Sanctuary L3. In the other chamber there is a Greymould Salve (useful if you still need one for Hathwisa), some gold and a chest with two wands. There is a lot of gold and other items lying around in the main laboratory. To the south is a locked room with nothing but some spiritual herbs.
