The roof of this place is constructed entirely of some sort of tinted magical glass which allows the sun to shine in, bathing the well- furnished room in bright light. You are amazed by the sheer number of ancient and rare magical tomes here, and you wait in awe to see what the Guildmaster is willing to teach you. You have proved yourself worthy by taking the initiative and besting his champion rather than waiting, and he is pleased. ~ 0 8 0 D5 ~ ~ 7 30670 30667 R M 0 30665 1 30669 R D 1 30669 5 2 S #30670 Outside the Thieves' Den~ You are standing at the top of a dark, narrow staircase that descends into the depths of the Kender-run Thieves' Guild.

He charges nothing for his tuition, but doesn't hesitate in helping himself to a fair portion of your treasure without your noticing.

Her tree is said to lie due north of the entrance. ~ 0 4 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 30676 S #30676 Proceeding Through the Glade~ As you proceed, you marvel at the beauty of this Glade. Birdcalls echo from the tops of mighty oaks and majestic pines, while the cries of wild animals emanate from the nearby undergrowth. Despite this, you still feel perfectly at ease and safe from harm. ~ 0 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 30677 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 30675 S #30677 A Clearing~ Suddenly you enter a wide clearing, with a small magical fire burning away between several small tents.

At the top awaits the Dryad Guildmaster, but access is blocked by a magical gate, to key to which is borne by the sentry. So you may wait your turn with the other Dryads, or jump the line and attempt to take the key from this sentry, and enter immediately. Perhaps it may seem nicer to wait, but it should be remembered that some Dryads have had to wait hundreds of years for a practice sesson with the Guildmistress... ~ 0 0 3 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 30677 D4 ~ gate~ 7 30670 30679 R M 0 30674 1 30678 R E 1 30665 1 16 R E 1 30666 1 5 R E 1 30667 1 12 R E 1 30668 1 6 R E 1 30669 1 14 R E 1 30669 1 15 R E 1 30670 1 17 R D 1 30678 4 2 S #30679 The Top of the Tree~ You have entered a magical area at the top of the ancient oak which protects its occupant from the elements. However, it has been cunningly designed to give occupants the illusion that they are living INSIDE a tree... It sure looks real. Are you SURE its an illusion? Anyway, your mistress awaits. You have proved yourself worthy by taking the initiative and besting her champion rather than waiting, and she is pleased. ~ 0 8 0 D5 ~ ~ 7 30670 30678 R M 0 30667 1 30679 R D 1 30679 5 2 S #30680 Base of the Cliff~ You are standing at the base of a massive granite cliff-face, atop which, it is rumored, lie both the most powerful Avian Guild, and the castle of the Elf Lord Yaegar, though the former has been seen but rarely by mortals, and the latter not at all. ~ 0 0 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 30681 S #30681 Ascending the Cliff~ With some effort, you heave yourself up the cliff-face, using your hover ability when necessary to clear unscaleable sections.

It has come over the years to absorb a tremendous amount of psionic energy from the atmosphere due to some strange composition of its walls, and thus has quickly become one of the Seven Holy Places, the home of a High Guildmaster. ~ 0 1 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 30686 S #30686 Inside the Donjon~ Flickering shadows created by the light cast from your lightsource surround you as you proceed through the twisting corridors toward the center of this dark guild. ~ 0 1 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 30687 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 30685 S #30687 A Recess~ Seated within a recess here are several Illithid students, awaiting the attention of their master.
