9. PIT OF MOANDER: 2 Level Semi-abandoned Temple
  Ohhh, ahhh, flippen cultists casting bloody Hold spells on you all the time.
Get in and out as fast as you can (But I have to map the fucken thing.....)

PIT OF MOANDER : LEVEL 1
  Trundle down the corridor to the first door where you will smell baked bread.
Go through the door to point 1 and meet Alias and Dragonbait.  Tell her the
truth and invite them into your party.  Go back out to the main corridor and
head down to point 2 and exit down the stairs.

PIT OF MOANDER : LEVEL 2
  At point 2 examine the Zhent to find some information.  Proceed down to point
3 where you will find some cultists and slugs.  Attack for surprise and make a
meal out of them.  Proceed straight down the end of the corridor to point 4,
but before you enter the door heal, spell and save.  This next attack comes in
2 waves.  First you will be attacked by Mogion, Cultists, Shambling Mounds and
maybe even vegipygmies.  Save your Wand of Defoilation.  Before you end this
battle use heal spells and potions as the next battle starts straight away.
This time you will face 3 Bit'O'Moanders.  This is where you use your wand of
defoilation.  Go and search behind the altar to find Mogions stash.  Now
somehow, heal and spell up.  Run for the stairs at point 1 like a madman
possessed.

PIT OF MOANDER : LEVEL 1
  Go to point 4 and evade the slugs then head on to point 3. This is where the
cultists will make a last ditch attempt to stop the "Chosen Ones".  Now exit
out into the wilderness.  Camp and heal up.
