Slith Fort

This is a rather complicated dungeon with many hidden passages and doors. It can be difficult to get arround. As soon as you get in you encounter a group of Slithzerikai (a mage, a shaman, 2 Warriors and 3 Sliths). They drop nothing interesting. The main way is to the east but it is worth first looking to the west, where you will find a a few sliths and a bit of loot.

Going east from the entrance you find a small room to the south with nothing in it but three Inferno Wryms and a shovel. In the SE corner are a few sliths and a chest with a note in it that mentions a key. Further north past a trap (TU 7) you come to a dropped portcullis. To get past it you first need to go through a small summoning chamber just south of the portcullis where a Slith Warrior, two Frenzied Apprentices and a Slith Mage have summoned a Frenzied Infernal. There are two hidden entrances into this chamber, one in the NW, and a another in the south (needs Dispel Barriers). These monsters drop almost nothing.

Through the door to the west you come to a small dormitory. There are two corpses and three buttons in this room. If you search around you can find a way out in the NW which leads deeper into the fort.

Round the corner to the north then east through these passages is a locked door behind which are some Writhing Masses in a small room. There are a few scrolls there. Going back to the west is a door leading to a barrier (L1) protecting the rest of the fort from a Mung Demon which drops a Battle Crystal. There is not very much in this direction so back west.

The only possibility now is to search for secret passages in the NW. You must fight lots of slimes, which come in various flavours and find lots of buttons. Just SE of the lava river in the NW corner is a barrier (L1) behind which you can find a Flawless Crystal. Searching around, you should be able to find a route which 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 but they all stop when you appear and attack you. You come across Chief Tivn'Schah, Darkcaller Nuassa, a Slith Warior, a Runewarded Infernal and a Slith Warrior. They drop some nice things like a Yvoss-tai Warspear and a pair of radiant Gauntlets. When you have dispached them, you find two barriers (L3 to the west and L2 east). To the west are a Runeward Demon, a Runeward PyroDemon and a Runeward CryoDemon. They drop nothing but were guarding a chest containing some goodies like a pot of Greymould Salve, an Invulnerability Potion and some coins. To the east are two Cave Demons and a Fiery Demon. They are guarding a tome which teaches Mass curing L3.

In the calling room is a blue chest where you can find an Onyx Key. To the south is a locked room with desk and a chest containing a few items..

There are so many buttons in this dungeon that I have divided them into different groups.

• In the SE corner of the dungeon, at the western end of the last piece of the main E-W passage is a button, which opens a path just to the west, leading to a barrier (L1).
• Behind this barrier is a further button which opens a path to the small summoning chamber.
• Past the trap is another button in the north wall near the closed portcullis. This opens a path to the small summonig chamber in the south.

• At the southern end of the west wall of the dormitory to the west of the small summoning chamber is a button which opens a niche in the the SW corner. On the table are a Bow and a Curing Potion.
• The button at the northern end of the west wall opens tiny cubby hole in the SE corner containing a tome which you cannot understand.
• The button in the NW corner of the room opens a passage to the west.

• In a blind arm to the south of the passage leading west from the dormitory is a button which opens a path to the banks of the lake where you can pick some herbs.
• Just north of this is a button in the west wall that opens a path to the passages in the north.
• South of the arm in the NW corner leading to the barrier and crystal is a button on the north wall which opens the passage going the east.
• In the E-W passage in the central part to the north are two buttons. One is in the west wall and opens a passage to a small room where a Vengeful Shade greets you. It was standing over a corpse and a healing Elixir.
• On the north wall of the passage is a button which opens a set of passages leading back to the other side of the closed portcullis which you found to the east and then north of entry room.
• To the NE of the portcullis is a passage leading north. On the western wall of this passage is a button which opens a path in the SE to the research laboratory.
