1932. INTO THE ALARIAN VAULTS !
We also had learned all that the mages and fighters could teach us in
the streets and the wilderness. From now on only magic could increase our
abilities, Toronar said. I gave up my believe, that the offer of the guilds
to transform experience into ability was nonsense. Toronar knew it better.
And he knew that the guilds of Cassida were the most effective ones on the
continent. But Toronar also knew, that increasing experiences by magic was
extremely expensive. We didn't know which abilities we should increase, so
we decided to wait until we'd figured out. Waste of money and waste of our
precious experiences wasn't exactly what we needed. But the idea to enter
the royal Alarian Vaults in order to take it's reward sounded interesting
now. Maybe the Alarian Altair knew what we really could need.
We entered through the entrance on the southern isle. We first hit a teleporter
and found us in the Vaults of Rhin. Many ghosts lived there. No competition
to us anymore. We teleported back and took the next stairway down. As a writing
on a wall suggested we went downstairs several times and then entered the
travel chamber to the Alarian Vaults. We hit a teleporter array to the west
of the stairway we came from and got to a hall surrounded by doors. We tried
them, fought some monsters and to the south in the Grue Chamber we found
an inactive teleporter field. We didn't find any switches. So we returned
to the travel chamber and tried another teleporter. We teleported to a spiral
floor and found a big lever which one we pulled. After that a Black Abbot
attacked us. With only one spell he killed Saba, me and Toronar. Only Marina
survived, seriously hurt. Thank God she was able to spell her R-Sphere! next.
Only by that she survived, hit the Black Abbot with her Angelstaff and by
that drived him mad. With the next turn she duped and defeated him.
Being kissed by Marina we came back to life. We had to realize that our
magic abilities weren't good enough to survive magical attacks of sophisticated
mages. After that experience we returned to the Grue Chamber and found the
teleporter activated. We transported to a small floor with another teleporter
field. Unfortunately it sent us back to the Grue Chamber. The large lever
obviously controlled the teleporters in here. But how should we switch it
on and off in order to be teleported only forward ? We decided to engage
one of the brave fighters we met to do the switching job. We returned to
the large lever and left Nackio there.
We arranged knock-signals that triggered Nackio to pull the lever. It
worked well and after pulling a glowing switch in one of the following floors
to the Grue Chamber we stood in front of the Alarian Chamber. We entered
and met another Black Abbot. This time we were ready for him. Toronar pulled
him near with one of te witches spells he had learned. Before he could realize
what happened to him my Hulkhammer went down on his head. The bad boy fell.
Now the way to the Altair was free. As we approached the Altair fantastic
magic was done. Stronger and wiser than ever before we left. We picked up
Nackio, paid and released him. Then we hit a third teleporter array in the
Alarian Vaults travel chamber which brought us into a part of the dungeon
that was full of evil opponents. We had to kill them all. In a western room
we found another Angelstaff. In the eastern maze we hit another teleporter
which brought us directly into Alarian's Chamber. Next time we would take
this teleporter to get there !
We left the Alarian Vaults and looked at us. In the past days we had
become mighty warriors and mages ! A fine feeling was overwhelming us. Who
should save this world if not these four brave men and women ? Our next quests
were clear: entering the Grottos of Gahmos and finding Mandrag the Cassidian
mage. Ask him to follow us and find the seven pieces of the Moonwand in order
to resemble them. But first we definately had to improve our magical abilities.
We took the next cavetrain and went to Cassida. Most of the guilds there
opened only by night. We found the guilds of magic power and anti-magic,
intelligence and wisdom and of anti-critical hits and gave some of our experiences
and money in return. We left the town and went to Valvice. There we went
to the local guild and Marina and I improved our attacking skills. Now we
were ready for the deeper levels of the Gahmonian Grottos.
