You find yourself in a series of catacombs beneath Nightsedge. The cries of large creatures echo off the walls all around you.... 2. You feel disoriented - to(2,1) 3. You have become completely lost in the confusing passageways of the caverns. 4. You feel disoriented - to(4,13) 5. Haven't you been here before? 6. Searching the walls carefully, you find a secret door to the south. 7. You exit the clearing through the only passage in the cliffs, entering a low fort like building set in the hill to the south. The air in the room is heavy with the scent of Minotaur and Orc. A scream breaks the silence from somewhere to the west. 8. Digging through the desk drawers, you find the followin note of interest To: Commander Krieg You have done well so far in implicating Luskan. Continue to have the orcs act and dress like their northern cousins. Victory is ours. 9. You see a dagger impaling a note on the solid stone wall. The note reads simply, 'Maybe next time' and is signed 'The Dark Mage' 10. Ogres and Minotaur (1.2K exp) 11. As you enter the room, tow men look up from where they are going over some scraps of paper at a table. One grins evilly and says 'Ahh... more stock for our clients!' The other slavemaster gestures and guards rush in from the side doors and attack. Orcs, Zhentarim Fighters, Trolls You pick up a ring of keys from the table. You glance at the papers on the table and find they are slave shipments schedules for cities south and east of Nightsedge. 12. Something heavy is blocking this door from the other side. You conclude that you'll have to find another way out. 13. The heavy locks on this door are easily opened with the keys from the slavemasters. 14. You enter a hallway lined with heaby doors. It is ominously quiet. 15. These slave pens must have been emptied only recently -- you sense that living beings were here only a short time ago. 16. You find a badly stained scrap of cowhide in the back of this pen. On it, written in blood, is an almost unreadable message. '...orc inva...not Trollmoor...om bloody scar tribes! They're being brought...east... Luskan not...' You wonder about the fate of the slave who wrote this important message. 17. These kennels are still full... Hell Hounds and Ice Hounds (8.5K exp) 18. There is an unmarked lever on the north wall in this cell. Do you want to pull it? ===>to (7,9) 19. You find a hidden door in the wall to the north. 20. This storeroom is full of caravan supplies, along with harnesses for horses and oxen. 21. Leaving the Minotaur chambers, you enter a long hall that leads southward. There is a faint smell here which you can't quite place. 22. The smell is overpowering in this portion of the caverns. You recognize it now as the stench of evil dragons. 23. You step through the hidden door and find yourself in a large clearing edged by cliffs on a high hillside. It feels good to breathe fresh air and be free of those damp caverns again. Just as your lungs fill with the clean, chill air, you realize you are not alone in the clearing. Orcs, Mages, Minotaurs, and Cleric (6.5K exp) 24. Several large Minotaurs are standing around in the room. One of them speaks, 'Ah! Another slave has found the way through our little maze. What shall we do with him brother?' The ensuing laughter is utterly evil and the Minotaurs attack Minotaurs, Hell Hounds, and Ice Hounds (6.5K exp) 25. A beautiful elven woman in mage robes stands before you. A cloud of darkness obscures the room behing her. 'Hail Adventurers!' she says, 'I am Commander Krieg and I salute the determination of you quest! Such determination should not be withour its rewards and I shall present you with a challenge appropriate to your great heroism!' She gestures broadly with both arms and the cloud of darkness behind her dissipates. Commander Krieg makes her escape as your eyes are riveted to the hulking black forms moving towards you' Black Dragons (36.8K exp) 26. The beautiful mage in satin robes stands in the room. She cocks her head defiantly. 'I admit adventurers,' she tells you, 'I did not expect you to get this far. I suppose you want to take me back to your precious Lord Nasher. Very well.' She holds out her hands for you to bind them, but when you step forward, she suddenly spreads her fingers and a blizzard of salt flies into your eyes. The stinging passes in a few seconds, but when you can once again see clearly she is gone. But you are definitely not alone.... Medusae, Fire Giants, Zhentarim Fighters, Hell Hound (13K exp) 27. A secret panel at the rear of the commander's office slides away to reveal a tunnel leading southward. A notebook dropped near the entrance suggests this passageway has been used recently by the evil sorceress. The notebook describes the growing slave trade. An entry near the back states, 'The adventurers are getting closer. I have sent my captain to report back to the floaters.' You continue forward through the tunnel You exit the tunnel through a small hatch, which closes invisibly behind you. This area looks like the forest outside Nightsedge.
