Level 03 - The Sewers[edit]

Refuse, trash and clumsy adventurers all end up in the sewers. While you are fending thieves and looking for a way back up remember: One person's trash is another's treasure. The unique compass "Learning Advisor" says "BUDDING CHAOS" when examined on this level.

Find a way across the river, and get a unique weapon.

Get unique items from monsters.

Learn that many hidden places can only be accessed through pits.

Visit the Grey Hermit, fetch a Vorpal Blade from the Haven of Meditation.

Fetch the Dwarven Treasure from here after solving the pressure plate riddle below.

You can enter the Temple's Wisdom Path of Tao here.

SEWERS DENIZENSGIGGLER
With arms of blue, a cloud they let fly,
And snatch what you hold or what you let lie.
They may return
to steal again,
So be swift with these sneaky small men.

WATER ELEMENTAL
A harmless puddle, don't you think?
Why not approach and try for a drink?
Yet hold at ready
sword or spell,
For this comes from no wishing well.

TROLLIN
Likes the water,
wields a club,
Seeks to squish you like a grub.

CAVE RAT
Scuttle and squeak and sniff and bite,
Beware where there's one, there's many to fight.
They may bite with poison, they may stink of waste,
But when battle's done, how good do they taste!

SEWERS FLORASPITTER TREE
Rooted in stone,
unable to chase,
So easy it seems, this foe you'll outpace.
Yet though they stand silent
as they block your way,
In one place you really had better not stay.

CHEWER
It moves along,
this mobile tree,
No lungs to speak of or legs to see.
Yet hold your ears against their shriek,
Then harvest their fruit and sustain the weak.

SHAMBLING MOUNT
Ancient creature,
green and slow,
Little of you does he know.

ANEMONE
Sits and waits till prey comes near,
Then reaches with its tendrils dear.
Once you've torn
its outer skin,
You free the poison held within.

SEWERS RARITIESMORIBUND
An undead spirit that does dwell
Inside a husk, a long-dead shell.
Poison its power, and decay,
Its touch can make you waste away.

LEECH
Slimy, slowly, vilely creeping,
Woe on those whom they find sleeping.
Flesh their food, diseased or whole.
Find food and eat – that is their goal.

CARRION EATER
Like a leech but large, with legs.
Crawls the dungeon, searching for dregs
Of those who’ve fallen, recent or not.
Poisonous, sickening, feeds on all rot.

GUARDIANS OF THE PATHWATER ELEMENTAL
A harmless puddle, don't you think?
Why not approach and try for a drink?
Yet hold at ready
sword or spell,
For this comes from no wishing well.

BLACK FLAME
A burning desire, a passion of flame.
Trapped and immobile, death all the same.
Approach with care the roaring fire,
Or run around this deadly pyre.[[31,29],[31,31]],[[29,30],[31,30]]

MAIN DRAIN HALLHere the sewer-ways converge.
Sludge and slime
meet up, converge.
Water, too,
which moves, full-formed,
And looks for you
– you have been warned![[23,0],[27,0]],[[22,1],[26,1]],[[21,2],[23,2]],[[25,2],[26,13]],[[19,3],[22,3]],[[4,4],[5,13]],[[19,4],[21,4]],[[18,5],[20,5]],[[17,6],[19,6]],[[2,7],[6,7]],[[16,7],[18,7]],[[2,8],[5,8]],[[15,8],[17,8]],[6,9],[[14,9],[16,9]],[14,10],[14,10],[6,11],[[15,11],[16,12]],[[6,13],[6,15]],[[16,13],[17,14]],[[27,13],[27,15]],[[5,14],[7,14]],[[26,14],[28,14]],[[7,15],[8,17]],[[17,15],[18,17]],[[28,15],[29,16]],[[9,16],[10,18]],[[19,16],[21,18]],[[30,16],[31,26]],[[29,17],[31,17]],[7,18],[[11,18],[11,21]],[[10,19],[12,20]],[[13,20],[13,23]],[[12,21],[14,23]],[[15,22],[15,25]],[[26,22],[26,25]],[[16,23],[16,25]],[[19,23],[19,25]],[[23,23],[23,25]],[[29,23],[31,25]],[[14,24],[31,24]],[[17,25],[31,25]],[18,26],[24,26],[31,27]

TROLLIN LAIRAlthough these blue ones have a hoard
Of treasure gathered, coin and sword,
Don't drop your guard to take it all,
For something here may bring downfall...[[4,20],[4,24]],[[3,21],[5,21]],[[6,22],[6,25]],[[5,23],[12,23]],[[5,24],[7,24]],[9,24],[9,24],[12,24],[12,24],[5,25],[5,25],[[10,25],[12,25]]

JUNK ROOMThough much that's here is useless, true,
A good look round could profit you.
Amidst the clutter, dull it seems,
A hint of something shiny gleams.[[10,7],[14,7]],[[11,8],[13,8]],[12,9],[12,9]

RAT FAMILYLiving here in peace enough,
They may prove, in a fight, quite tough.
But you're safe if you turn back,
For trespassers only do they attack.[[5,14],[7,14]],[[3,15],[3,19]],[[6,15],[8,15]],[[10,15],[10,19]],[[5,16],[5,19]],[[7,16],[10,17]],[[2,17],[10,17]],[7,18],[9,18],[9,18]

GOLDEN KEYLook around here, close at hand,
For near this place, the key does stand
In a repository, if you
Look close. Now how's that for a clue?[[3,15],[3,19]],[[5,16],[5,19]],[[1,17],[6,17]]

GARBAGEThough garbage piles carry much
Which stinks and has no use as such,
It's wise to search, and do search well.
For what? The gleam of gold may tell...[[10,7],[14,7]],[[11,8],[13,8]],[12,9]

GOLDEN PATHYou need to pay in golden key,
But one's not near, as you can see.
But it is said that two were lost,
Into vile sewage they were tossed.[[12,2],[14,2]],[11,3],[11,3],[12,4]

JEWEL SHORTCUTAlthough this place has use, it's true,
It may or may not profit you.
Be careful which you choose to open,
For gems are not a paltry token.[2,12],[2,12],[[0,13],[4,13]],[[0,14],[0,16]],[1,15]

EMERALD KEYAll around this stinking place,
Where clean folk show not hand or face,
Are cracks and gratings, holes and more,
Where more than slime and water pour.[[16,7],[18,7]],[[15,8],[17,8]],[[14,9],[16,9]],[14,10],[14,10],[[15,11],[16,12]],[21,11],[21,11],[[25,11],[28,11]],[22,12],[22,12],[[25,12],[26,13]],[[23,13],[27,13]],[[26,14],[28,14]],[[27,15],[29,15]]

HIDDEN KEYWithin the place of sludge and slime,
Look past the filthy, stinking grime.
Seek a hole of oozing muck,
For where a key did once get stuck.[[0,2],[0,5]],[[1,3],[1,5]],[[2,5],[4,5]]

HIDDEN COINNot all treasure may you see,
For it may hide so cunningly
A passing glance will miss its gleam.
It's not as hard as it may seem.[[0,7],[0,11]],[[2,10],[2,13]],[1,11],[1,11]

MYSTERIOUS STAIRSWhat lies yonder, down the stair?
Should you worry? Should you care?
Yes, in fact, it might be wise
To find a way to reach the prize.[7,0],[7,0]

FLOODOnce the water rose so high.
Now it creeps, strikes, makes you cry.
They seek the movement of their prey,
But near the drains they should not stray.[[20,13],[21,14]],[[19,14],[21,14]],[[17,15],[18,17]],[[20,15],[20,18]],[[23,15],[23,21]],[[25,15],[25,21]],[[19,16],[21,18]],[26,16],[26,16],[[16,17],[26,17]],[[22,18],[25,21]],[[27,18],[28,20]],[[21,19],[25,21]],[[20,20],[28,20]],[28,21],[28,21],[[20,22],[22,22]],[24,22]

RIVERWithin a river, if you're prey,
Away from water should you stay.
For it can strike far worse than rain,
But what can rain do to a drain?[[26,22],[26,28]],[[30,22],[31,26]],[[23,23],[23,25]],[[29,23],[31,25]],[[20,24],[31,25]],[22,26],[22,26],[24,26],[[27,26],[27,28]],[31,27]

BACKDOORTo leave this place, a way you've found,
Be sure you're walking on safe ground.
You need not fear, the path is true.
The back door's a safe way for you.[28,7],[28,7],[[20,13],[21,14]],[[19,14],[21,14]],[[27,18],[28,20]],[28,21],[28,21],[[31,29],[31,31]],[[29,30],[31,30]]

NO ENTRYIf exploration is your aim,
If finding all things seems a game,
Alas, you'll find you cannot go
Through every way that seems to show.[1,25],[1,25],[19,25],[19,25],[4,27],[22,27],[14,28],[18,28],[[0,29],[2,29]],[19,29],[19,29],[14,30],[14,30]

IMAGINATIONListen, see,
know, touch, feel,
For what seems solid may not be real.
Look around without your eyes
To break the stone's secret disguise.[[25,2],[26,6]],[[24,4],[26,4]],[[26,25],[27,29]],[28,27],[28,27],[28,29],[28,29],[[31,29],[31,31]],[27,30],[27,30],[[29,30],[31,30]],[28,31],[28,31]

JUST A ROOMNo items here, no treasure pure,
No empty flask, no poison cure,
No riddle, hint, for mind or wit,
Though watch your step for creature, pit.[[0,0],[2,0]],[[1,1],[3,1]],[[2,2],[4,2]],[3,3],[3,3],[8,11],[[17,11],[19,11]],[18,12],[18,12],[[29,12],[30,13]],[8,13],[[14,13],[14,15]],[[31,13],[31,16]],[15,14],[15,14],[30,14],[30,14],[1,20],[1,20],[0,21],[0,21],[0,22],[0,22],[[2,22],[2,24]],[1,23],[1,23],[26,30],[26,30]

EXIT ONLYA closed-up path,
a one-way door,
No way to come through ceiling, floor.
This passage is shut from this side.
Only from beyond can it be pried.[12,0],[28,22]

QUIET FOUNTAINNo tricks, no traps, just water clean,
From this quiet fountain, sweet, serene.
You may not find
more water soon,
So take advantage of this boon.[1,1],[10,2],[16,5],[4,6],[21,7],[14,9],[10,17],[10,20],[23,21],[6,22],[21,24],[25,24],[6,25]

TREASURE TIMEFight is over, monsters slain,
Now the treasure lies here plain.
See it, take it, now it's yours.
Some items which may aid your cause.[8,9],[8,9],[26,17]

FALL BREAKERMost pits give a bad reception,
And these here will be no exception.
But note that one pit closed may stop
A fall far too great – a death drop.[[19,2],[19,4]],[20,3]

The Grey HermitA guard of living stone he has,
Although his face is kind.
Rewarding those who ask him well,
And treasures they shall find.

Pray steadily and stand your ground.[[21,18],[22,22]],[[16,19],[17,21]],[[23,19],[23,21]],[[15,20],[23,20]],[[20,22],[22,22]]

JUST A HALLSo often do you ask for help,
Begging for hints like some small whelp,
But know that help can't always be.
This corridor's just plain, can't you see?[[14,0],[16,0]],[[16,1],[16,5]],[[12,2],[14,2]],[[17,2],[19,2]],[11,3],[11,3],[15,3],[15,3],[12,4],[12,4],[17,4],[[9,5],[16,5]],[[0,7],[0,11]],[21,8],[21,8],[19,9],[19,9],[22,9],[20,10],[20,10],[12,11],[12,11],[21,11],[21,11],[22,12],[22,12],[23,13],[[3,15],[3,17]],[[5,16],[5,19]],[[1,17],[6,17]],[[1,18],[1,20]],[[0,25],[3,25]]

JUST A HALLSo often do you ask for help,
Begging for hints like some small whelp,
But know that help can't always be.
This corridor's just plain, can't you see?[[4,0],[9,0]],[[17,0],[21,0]],[29,0],[29,0],[[8,1],[8,5]],[10,1],[10,1],[12,1],[28,1],[28,1],[31,1],[31,1],[[5,2],[10,2]],[27,2],[27,2],[30,2],[30,2],[29,3],[29,3],[28,4],[28,4],[31,4],[31,4],[[6,5],[8,5]],[22,5],[22,5],[27,5],[27,5],[30,5],[30,5],[23,6],[23,6],[29,6],[29,6],[21,7],[24,7],[28,7],[28,7],[31,7],[31,7],[19,8],[27,8],[27,8],[30,8],[30,8],[9,9],[9,9],[23,9],[23,9],[29,9],[29,9],[[10,10],[10,14]],[24,10],[28,10],[28,10],[9,11],[9,11],[27,11],[27,11],[9,13],[9,13],[[12,13],[12,17]],[[13,17],[15,17]],[14,18],[14,18],[0,26],[5,26],[5,26],[[9,26],[9,31]],[12,26],[12,26],[15,26],[15,26],[4,27],[4,27],[[7,27],[7,31]],[11,27],[11,27],[14,27],[14,27],[0,28],[0,28],[[4,28],[4,31]],[[11,28],[11,31]],[[14,28],[14,31]],[18,28],[18,28],[[22,28],[22,31]],[24,28],[24,28],[[1,29],[5,29]],[[10,29],[15,29]],[19,29],[19,29],[23,29],[2,30],[8,30],[8,30],[[20,30],[22,30]],[24,30],[24,30],[[5,31],[7,31]],[12,31],[23,31]
