Slith Temple	Upper Level

There is a bit of loot in this dungeon. You can also find part of the Demonslayer, deal with Nyryssa for Bevan in Almaria and learn a level 3 spell.

This is a two level dungeon. The ground floor is relatively straight forward: there are lots of Sliths and naturally in a temple, priests. In this case there is nothing in particular in the middle. You can barge straight in or circle to the left or to the right. Upstairs is a bit different. Here you come up in the SW corner have to circle clockwise round to approach the central area from the south. There are a few hidden doors on this level.

In the NE corner is a Shrine where Cultist Gyusshara officiates. He and his minions drop a few nice items. Here are three chests. The middle one contains an Iron Key which you need upstairs. The other two contain some good items and coins.

This slith assassin is hiding in a corner of the passages in the NE of the temple. She is rather tough but not very dangerous – just keep beating her. At four to one she does not have much chance, but it takes a long time. She drops a Fine Slith Spear and a Rod of Succor.

Near the SW corner are three chests. If you look in the eastern one a Gnawing Stoneworm springs out.

Upstairs you have to circle the level to get to the main part of the temple. The way is quite simple. In the NE corner are three font-like basins, each of which restores up to 50 points of energy. Slightly SW of these fonts is a trap (TU 7) blocking the way to coffin containing a Platinum Ring and a Scroll – Powerlash. Now onwards to the open area in the middle of the level. The holy (or unholy) shrine is in the centre of this area.

The entrance is to the north. Priestessss Puruass officiates here along with some simple sliths. Only the high priestess is a bit tough – she can cast nasty mind clouding spells, so a Ward of Thoughts should be considered. Do not leave combat mode but approach the altar and take the part of the Demonslayer. As soon as you do this troops appear outside and help Puruass.

Now you have eliminated the resistance and can pick up everything worth taking. The most intersting item is Zephyr's Bauble (value 1200 protection against fire and cold).

• On the north wall just at the top of the staircase leading up from the ground floor is a button which opens a passage in the south leading to some magical barriers (L2) behind which is a tome which teaches Domination L3.
• On the west wall of the eastern N-S passage just south of the NE corner is a button wich opens a nook with three Frozen Worms. They are guarding a Scroll – Return Life.
• On the west wall of a nook just north of the SE corner is a button wich opens a path to the north. The way is blocked by a barrier (L3) leading to a small crypt with two Gnawing Stoneworms guarding a sarcophagus containing a Fine Robe and a Wand of Inferno.
• There is a button in the middle of the west wall of the domed chamber and to the west of the main shrine. This opens a path to a small chamber where two slith warriors attack you. There is a font here which restore up to 50 points of energy and two chests containing some nice items including coins and a gold bar.
