                             RED LARCH MAP KEY

1.  The gates to Red Larch loom to the north and west.
2.  NPC Ogloth Tarnlar - An elderly resident of Red Larch reaches out his hand
                         in friendship.  'Welcome to Red Larch!  I am Ogloth
                         Tarnlar.  I do hope that you are here to seek the
                         mystery of the lost Lifegiver.  We could use all the
                         help we can get.  I have travelled Westbridge and
                         Red Larch for years gathering what information I 
                         could, but I must be missing something.  I sense the
                         pieces of the Lifegiver near, but cannot for the 
                         life of me discover their hiding place.
3.  The old guardhouse is filled with belongings from adventurers who have 
    never returned from their quests.
4.  A sign above the door to the east reads:  'Long Road Weaponry
                                            Quality Archery Supplies'
        Fine Long Bow       5500        10 Arrows +1           300
        20 Quarrels +1      1000        Light Crossbow         5500
        Short Bow           5050        Long Bow               5750
        Compound Short Bow  6500        Compound Long Bow      7775
5.  The rusted sign to the north reads:  'The Swinging Sword Inn
                                         The Finest Imported Mead
    5pp
6.  You spot a resident looking through his tomes.  He looks up and greets 
    you.  'I guess you have been to Westbridge and know of the tragedy of our
    two towns.  I have been trying for years to duplicate the explosion...
    created by the Crostrum brothers which welded the staff and orb together
    to create the Lifegiver.  If by chance the items are found, but Alinster
    is not, we need a way to reunite them once again.  The brothers left no
    notes on their experiments, which I guess may have been wise.  At least
    we know the Lifegiver cannot be used by evil for their purposes.'
7.  There is a wooden sign here with something burned into it:
         ' Alagath Chansryl, Sklaen Jhavender, and Ogmoth Tarnlar
                Finest Harnesses on the Sword Coast'
8.  The sign to the north reads:  'Deolvyn Bloodaxe                   
                            Finest Trainer on the Sword Coast'
    and the one to the east reads:  'Thelorn's Sage Journeys Wagonworks'
9.  Dragons!                   
    Red Dragons and Black Dragons  (31.4K exp)
10. Your are hit by a falling branch and lose consciousness.  You wake up with
    a very bad headache and a note, anchored by a rock, at your side.  'This
    was as far as I could take you.  I have too much ground to cover.'
    to (15,15)
11. You have found a spy outpost!
    Zhentil Fighters, Evil Clerics, Kraken Spies  (2.5K exp)
12. A blocked passage lies before you.  There is no way to open it.
13. A broken sign is propped up by the gate:  'Amphail South.  Road Closed!'
14. This stable is filled with hay and water imported from neighboring towns
15. This home looks abandoned.  You surmise its proximity to the well and 
    its cursed waters is the reason.
16. This well can no longer be used by the residents of Red Larch.  Since the
    disappearance of the Lifegiver, its waters remain cursed.
17. You surprise a woman preparing dinner for her family.  'Oh, Hello!  I
    thought my husband was finally home.  He spends too much time looking for
    the rumored secret tunnels.  Ever since the last Feast of Life, he has
    dedicated his life to recovering the lost lifegiver.  You see, it was the
    only thing that kept us alive for years.  Now that it is gone, we must
    travel far for our water.  I was hoping he'd be home by now.  One day, I
    fear, the tunnels will collapse and I shall be left alone without hope or
    family.
18. A caustic smell emanating from underground causes you to temporarily 
    black out.  When you awake, you find yourself off your path and lost.
    to (8,2)
19. What mysteries are contained here? 
    Fire Giant Mages and Efreeti  (23.4K exp)
20. 'Come here!' says the oldtimer.  'Can you hear it?  Put your ear to the
    ground; maybe you can hear it better.  My hearing has been failing over
    the years, but I swear there is something going on under Red Larch.'
21. A deep hole yields... 
    Scorpions, Pyrosnakes, Poisonous Snakes  (4.3K exp)
22. A giant clan!
    Hill Giants and Cloud Giants  (13.8K exp)
23. Watch Out!
    Bullettes and Carrion Crawlers  (15.1K exp)
24. The trail is becoming even harder to find.
25. You enter an old campsite. 
26. The quaking ground gives way from under your feet and you tumble headlong
    into a secret shaft.
    <damage>
    Climbing out you watch as the tunnel collapses behind you.
    to (14,14)
27. You stop to aid a weary traveller.  'Thank you, my friends.' he says.  
    'I'm certain that the secret to the missing items and the lost mage lies
    somewhere along this path.  But, each day I wander aimlessly and always
    end up back in town somehow.  Maybe you will have better luck than I.'
28. The rocks come to life and attack!
    Stone Golem and Rock Reptiles  (14.9K exp)
29. The trees form a barrier against the elements. (safe to rest)
30. You see notches carved in the trees as if someone was marking their path.   
31. The town walls lie before you but are scant comfort from this side.
32. Beyond the door you hear eerie sounds and feel a coldness creeping through
    your bones.
    You open the door but with your first step you slip and plunge into the
    darkness.  Luckily, it's not a long fall and you end up with only a few
    bruises.
    <damage>
    to Red Larch Dungeon (15,5)
33. A sign on the gate reads:  'Red Larch - South     Westbridge - North'
34. The guard looks up from his lists.  'Just look at all this!  All these 
    people have tried to no avail to discover the missing Staff of Health and
    Orb of Life.  Not one has found a clue to their whereabouts.  Even if you
    are lucky enough to find these items, what good are they unless we find
    Alinster to weld them back together?'  He shakes his head in despair and
    adds your name to the list.
35. 'Hail!  You have a need for one of our handmade harnessess?'  inquires 
    the beaming shopkeeper.  'Show your work Sklaen.'  'Aye, Alaglath.'
    replies Sklaen.  'This one is almost finished.'  You admire the
    workmanship, but indicate that you were interested in information about
    the well.  They seem disappointed and can only add that many adventurers
    have walked these paths to no avail.
36. A grim faced man working on a wagon in the back doesn't notice you, but a
    woman turns as you enter the business.  'I am sorry, but we have nothing
    to sell right now.  Everything has been sold or stolen by those leaving
    or those here trying to find the Lifegiver.  It will be some time and by
    then...' She stops as the tears well in her eyes.  You mumble your 
    apologies and leave.
37. The opening you walked through has disappeared.
38. The sun shines brightly through the trees for a few seconds, making you 
    shade your eyes.
39. You hear the sound of an approaching horse but cannot tell how far away
    until suddenly a horse as black as coal is charging at you from around
    the corner.
