Eye Of The Beholder

Level 12 - Xanthar's Inner Sanctum

Walls: The walls of this level consist of opulent decor.

Monsters: Stone golems and Xanathar himself inhabit this level.

Locations and Events:

1. On the west wall is a portal which requires the stone orb as a key. Place the key on the blank brick to activate the portal and teleport your party to level 11, location 19.

2. On the west wall is a hole that reeks of smoke.

3. Push the wall ornamentation and a hidden passage opens to the west.

4. On the west wall is a sign which reads: "Turn back, no trespassing."

5. There is a normal door here.

6. Stepping on this pressure plate closes the door to the east. There are four stone golems in this area. One stone golem carries a skull key.

7. A button on the east wall opens the passage to the north.

8. This door can only be opened from the other side.

9. A button on the east wall teleports the party one square east, into the wall. Characters may step forward into the next room (with locations 12-15), or back into the previous one.

10. Push the button on the east wall to teleport your party to location 26.

11. Push the button on the east wall to teleport your party to location 57.

12. The door can only be opened by inserting a skull key in the keyhole.

13. A non-magical ring and a Potion of Healing are placed on this pedestal. If you go directly over and take the items, other items will be stolen from the party and lost permanently. To get the ring and potion, characters must drop their own small items before going to the pedestal.

14. There is a skull key here.

15. A non-magical necklace and a Potion of Healing are placed on this pedestal. This works like the trap at location 13.

16. This is where the stone golem is created from location 17.

17. Along the north wall of this room are three pedestals. To the south of each pedestal are three signs that read: "Stone for substance," "Potion for strength," and "Sphere for animation." Put a rock, potion, and orb on each of the appropriate pedestals, and push the button on the north wall to create a stone golem in location 16. Making golems is not a good idea unless you want more combats and EXP.

18. This door can only be opened from the east.

19. This room can only be entered from the south. The doors to the east and west can only be opened in this room.

20 - 22. The pedestal at location 20 has a large eye on it. Place an orb of power on each pedestal to the east at location 21 and west at location 22, and the eye and those pedestals will disappear. Place an orb of power on the pedestal at 20 and it will disappear.

23. Written on the west wall is "Room of the spheres."

45. Xanathar inhabits this area - BEWARE! The most effective way to destroy Xanathar is to use the Wand of Silvias. This is obtained from the dwarves after returning the potion to revive their king. The wand should be used to repel him into his spike trap at location 49.

46. There are light beam projectors to the east and west. Breaking the hidden beam sets off a Fireball from the north (location 44). The trap can be avoided if all your characters are invisible.

47 & 48. There is one large eye on each pedestal.

49. There are light beam projectors to the east and west. Breaking the hidden beam while visible causes spikes to fire at the party. Enter this trap with all characters invisible.
