1. Map Entry

You'll mostly find wolves and harmless deers on this map.

2. Bandits Camp

Bandits attack you as soon as they see you. When you have finished with them, search the camp's crates, you might find a useful item in one of them.

3. Bugbears Cave

You disturb several bugbears in this cave, including a shaman and a hero, which has a good punch.
A bit further a barricade stands across the corridor. You can bash one of its crates of course, but you won't go far anyway: a door blocks the way, and you'll need a key to open it.

4. Cave Bear Cave

This cave is actually the other entry of the one above. When you enter, a cave bear is fighting with two wolves and a worg, and it is already wounded. Maybe you can help the wolves and worg a bit, but try to finish the cave bear yourself as it brings 242XP.

Just like in the other part of the cave, there is a locked door which needs a key.

When you have got this key, you can open either door to this Inner Chamber. But be carefull, a mummy is waiting for you and most bone piles around the place will raise again into skeleton warriors when you get near them (there are six bone piles in circle around the memorial). Maybe you should wait until your PC is leveled up. A protection agains fear and disease would probably help too.

When everything is quiet again, you can search the coffin where a nice item is waiting for you.

5. Bandits Cave

Three (?) bandits are camping by a fire. Go for them at once! Two bandit women run to their help from the west room, just do the same with them. The weapon rack nearby is worth having a look.

Next you'll have to get through a new kind of trap which - as far as I can see - cannot be disabled.
As soon as your PC tries to reach the west room, it gets slowed and a fire explosion occurs. Get through the fastest as you can! And have a look behind you at a bandit archer spawning from the place you were before... If you need a rest after this, go the nearest you can to the wall as the place is small and other ennemies await you in the north room.

You still have the bandit chief and two bandit archers to defeat. Beware the archers arrows, they are poisonous! On the chief's remains, pick up a chainmail armor+1, a katana of the North and other useful items. Both chests are interesting: about 200 and 300GP, a ring of Animal Friendship, a ring of Scholars, a Silver Key and Garg's book. The latter, writen by a should-have-been clerc become a bandit, explains that the key was stolen from merchants altogether with some notes about a tomb which could hold some treasure.

6. Wyrmlings Cave

You are entering a wyrmling white dragons hatchery!

You must defeat several of them in the first room and also in the back room before searching the place. Fortunately, they are just babies with babies strokes and they sometimes blow a little cold. (Though on one of them, you can find a battleaxe?!). Search the corpses, and you'll also fnd a dragon egg in the back room.

7. The Hermit

This man is neither agreable, nor very talkative! You can nevertheless get some information if you ask him about the gnolls cave, and he might in this case explain to you that he has got a "reloading machine" which can reload your wands for 100GP.

Search the library. In a books pile, there is an Alchemist Cook Book which will give you some clues about what you can make with quartz crystals and some other ingredients. This will be very useful when you get back to Drogan's Home!

Depending of the items you have, he can also propose to buy the Dragon Egg (700GP), the Mask (700 or1000GP is you are persuasive), the Dragon Tooth (500/700GP) and the Mummified Hand(500). Actually, if you are to sell any of them, you might want to check Szaren offers for these too - unless you could not help the latter open his shop!

8. Gnolls Cave

This cave is big enough to deserve a page of its own. Let's get in!

When you have met Azith in the Ancient Hall, Azath will be waiting for you before the Gnolls Cave entrance.
