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.[[31,0],[31,4]],[[29,3],[31,3]],[30,4],[30,4],[30,5],[[31,6],[31,8]],[[30,9],[30,11]],[31,10],[[31,14],[31,16]],[30,17],[30,17],[[31,18],[31,22]],[30,21],[30,21],[[31,28],[31,31]]

VECNA's MINIONSSKELETON
Bones of the fallen, living once more,
Marrow clicks on the cold stone floor.
Shields held high, swords lash out
As the undead strike with no yell or shout.

GREATER MUMMY
Death afoot,
yet bound in white,
It wields no weapon but undead might.
Older, moulding,
has more hunger
To drain strength from stronger, younger.

ZOMBIE
Once a man,
now mindless dead,
No brain still thinks within his head.
Reaching forth
with rotting hands,
To kill is all he understands.[[0,0],[5,0]],[[10,0],[10,2]],[[12,0],[14,0]],[[16,0],[18,0]],[[28,0],[28,2]],[4,1],[4,1],[[12,1],[12,4]],[[15,1],[15,26]],[[18,1],[18,7]],[[21,1],[22,3]],[[26,1],[29,1]],[[5,2],[12,2]],[[14,2],[16,3]],[[20,2],[26,2]],[7,3],[7,3],[[19,3],[23,3]],[26,3],[26,3],[[13,4],[13,6]],[20,4],[20,4],[[23,4],[25,4]],[[27,4],[28,5]],[[14,5],[16,6]],[21,5],[21,5],[24,5],[24,5],[[7,6],[8,7]],[[12,6],[18,6]],[22,6],[24,6],[[28,6],[28,10]],[11,7],[11,7],[[19,7],[19,11]],[[25,7],[25,11]],[27,7],[27,7],[6,8],[6,8],[[10,8],[11,11]],[[13,8],[17,8]],[[20,8],[20,12]],[[6,9],[6,22]],[[9,9],[13,9]],[[17,9],[21,9]],[[27,9],[28,10]],[[8,10],[12,10]],[[14,10],[16,11]],[[18,10],[22,10]],[[24,10],[25,11]],[[7,11],[7,16]],[[12,11],[20,11]],[[22,11],[27,11]],[9,12],[9,12],[12,12],[12,12],[17,12],[17,12],[[21,12],[21,16]],[[23,12],[23,16]],[[26,12],[29,15]],[[9,13],[9,16]],[[11,13],[12,15]],[[14,13],[16,15]],[[18,13],[19,15]],[[8,14],[24,14]],[[5,15],[7,16]],[24,15],[[8,16],[10,16]],[[12,16],[13,17]],[[17,16],[18,17]],[20,16],[20,16],[[27,16],[28,19]],[[10,17],[20,17]],[[22,17],[22,19]],[11,18],[11,18],[[14,18],[16,18]],[18,18],[18,18],[[21,18],[25,18]],[[10,19],[10,27]],[12,19],[12,19],[17,19],[17,19],[[20,19],[20,30]],[[23,19],[25,21]],[[8,20],[11,20]],[[13,20],[17,20]],[[19,20],[21,20]],[27,20],[[22,21],[25,21]],[[4,22],[4,26]],[[9,22],[12,22]],[[14,22],[16,23]],[[18,22],[21,22]],[23,22],[23,22],[[26,22],[26,31]],[[2,23],[5,23]],[[8,23],[8,27]],[[13,23],[17,23]],[[23,23],[23,25]],[[25,23],[27,23]],[[6,24],[6,27]],[[11,24],[13,24]],[[17,24],[20,24]],[[22,24],[24,25]],[[2,25],[10,25]],[[13,25],[17,26]],[[21,25],[27,25]],[[12,26],[18,26]],[[22,26],[22,30]],[[24,26],[24,31]],[[19,27],[27,27]],[[19,29],[28,29]],[29,30],[29,30],[[23,31],[29,31]]

CRYPT SPIRITSGHOST
Silent drifter, ancient dead,
May inspire little dread.
Since little strength it has to spare,
It takes whatever it can snare.

REAPER
Drifting death
of cloak and scythe,
Hopes that in pain
you will writhe.
It knows the weary fall much faster,
And if you don't, you'll face disaster.

SPECTER
Death afoot,
bound in dark light,
They wield no weapon but undead might.
Risen from death with their deathly brothers,
They draw their strength from the life of others.

Although these spirits drain you so,
And feel no earthly touch,
Know that magic things,
to them,
Can quickly be too much.[[0,0],[5,0]],[[10,0],[10,2]],[[12,0],[14,0]],[[16,0],[18,0]],[[28,0],[28,2]],[4,1],[4,1],[[12,1],[12,4]],[[15,1],[15,26]],[[18,1],[18,7]],[[21,1],[22,3]],[[26,1],[29,1]],[[5,2],[12,2]],[[14,2],[16,3]],[[20,2],[26,2]],[7,3],[7,3],[[19,3],[23,3]],[26,3],[26,3],[[13,4],[13,6]],[20,4],[20,4],[[23,4],[25,4]],[[27,4],[28,5]],[[14,5],[16,6]],[21,5],[21,5],[24,5],[24,5],[[7,6],[8,7]],[[12,6],[18,6]],[22,6],[24,6],[[28,6],[28,10]],[11,7],[11,7],[[19,7],[19,11]],[[25,7],[25,11]],[27,7],[27,7],[6,8],[6,8],[[10,8],[11,11]],[[13,8],[17,8]],[[20,8],[20,12]],[[6,9],[6,22]],[[9,9],[13,9]],[[17,9],[21,9]],[[27,9],[28,10]],[[8,10],[12,10]],[[14,10],[16,11]],[[18,10],[22,10]],[[24,10],[25,11]],[[7,11],[7,16]],[[12,11],[20,11]],[[22,11],[27,11]],[9,12],[9,12],[12,12],[12,12],[17,12],[17,12],[[21,12],[21,16]],[[23,12],[23,16]],[[26,12],[29,15]],[[9,13],[9,16]],[[11,13],[12,15]],[[14,13],[16,15]],[[18,13],[19,15]],[[8,14],[24,14]],[[5,15],[7,16]],[24,15],[[8,16],[10,16]],[[12,16],[13,17]],[[17,16],[18,17]],[20,16],[20,16],[[27,16],[28,19]],[[10,17],[20,17]],[[22,17],[22,19]],[11,18],[11,18],[[14,18],[16,18]],[18,18],[18,18],[[21,18],[25,18]],[[10,19],[10,27]],[12,19],[12,19],[17,19],[17,19],[[20,19],[20,30]],[[23,19],[25,21]],[[8,20],[11,20]],[[13,20],[17,20]],[[19,20],[21,20]],[27,20],[[22,21],[25,21]],[[4,22],[4,26]],[[9,22],[12,22]],[[14,22],[16,23]],[[18,22],[21,22]],[23,22],[23,22],[[26,22],[26,31]],[[2,23],[5,23]],[[8,23],[8,27]],[[13,23],[17,23]],[[23,23],[23,25]],[[25,23],[27,23]],[[6,24],[6,27]],[[11,24],[13,24]],[[17,24],[20,24]],[[22,24],[24,25]],[[2,25],[10,25]],[[13,25],[17,26]],[[21,25],[27,25]],[[12,26],[18,26]],[[22,26],[22,30]],[[24,26],[24,31]],[[19,27],[27,27]],[[19,29],[28,29]],[29,30],[29,30],[[23,31],[29,31]]

CRYPT DENIZENSLESSER SKELETON
Bony fiend
still armed with shield
And a sword
he knows how to wield.
Made of bones,
so thin and hard,
You think
a knife will strike?
Then think again, and quickly, or
More rations you will like.

MUMMY
Man embalmed in bandage white
Stalks around,
seeking to fight.
Risen from death with its deathly brothers,
It draws its strength from the life of others.[[0,0],[5,0]],[[10,0],[10,2]],[[12,0],[14,0]],[[16,0],[18,0]],[[28,0],[28,2]],[4,1],[4,1],[[12,1],[12,4]],[[15,1],[15,26]],[[18,1],[18,7]],[[21,1],[22,3]],[[26,1],[29,1]],[[5,2],[12,2]],[[14,2],[16,3]],[[20,2],[26,2]],[7,3],[7,3],[[19,3],[23,3]],[26,3],[26,3],[[13,4],[13,6]],[20,4],[20,4],[[23,4],[25,4]],[[27,4],[28,5]],[[14,5],[16,6]],[21,5],[21,5],[24,5],[24,5],[[7,6],[8,7]],[[12,6],[18,6]],[22,6],[24,6],[[28,6],[28,10]],[11,7],[11,7],[[19,7],[19,11]],[[25,7],[25,11]],[27,7],[27,7],[6,8],[6,8],[[10,8],[11,11]],[[13,8],[17,8]],[[20,8],[20,12]],[[6,9],[6,22]],[[9,9],[13,9]],[[17,9],[21,9]],[[27,9],[28,10]],[[8,10],[12,10]],[[14,10],[16,11]],[[18,10],[22,10]],[[24,10],[25,11]],[[7,11],[7,16]],[[12,11],[20,11]],[[22,11],[27,11]],[9,12],[9,12],[12,12],[12,12],[17,12],[17,12],[[21,12],[21,16]],[[23,12],[23,16]],[[26,12],[29,15]],[[9,13],[9,16]],[[11,13],[12,15]],[[14,13],[16,15]],[[18,13],[19,15]],[[8,14],[24,14]],[[5,15],[7,16]],[24,15],[[8,16],[10,16]],[[12,16],[13,17]],[[17,16],[18,17]],[20,16],[20,16],[[27,16],[28,19]],[[10,17],[20,17]],[[22,17],[22,19]],[11,18],[11,18],[[14,18],[16,18]],[18,18],[18,18],[[21,18],[25,18]],[[10,19],[10,27]],[12,19],[12,19],[17,19],[17,19],[[20,19],[20,30]],[[23,19],[25,21]],[[8,20],[11,20]],[[13,20],[17,20]],[[19,20],[21,20]],[27,20],[[22,21],[25,21]],[[4,22],[4,26]],[[9,22],[12,22]],[[14,22],[16,23]],[[18,22],[21,22]],[23,22],[23,22],[[26,22],[26,31]],[[2,23],[5,23]],[[8,23],[8,27]],[[13,23],[17,23]],[[23,23],[23,25]],[[25,23],[27,23]],[[6,24],[6,27]],[[11,24],[13,24]],[[17,24],[20,24]],[[22,24],[24,25]],[[2,25],[10,25]],[[13,25],[17,26]],[[21,25],[27,25]],[[12,26],[18,26]],[[22,26],[22,30]],[[24,26],[24,31]],[[19,27],[27,27]],[[19,29],[28,29]],[29,30],[29,30],[[23,31],[29,31]]

CRYPT GUARDIANSLICH
Undead foe of greatest might,
With a poisoned blade
to smite.
Magic clubs and maces hurt,
But soon he returns from the dirt.

ETTIN
Though two heads does this creature bear,
There seems only half a mind there.
One half
wants to stomp and crush.
The other,
break you into mush.

GOLEM
This grey solid giant is trouble indeed,
Protecting the dungeon from traveller's greed.
Step forth and face him, he strikes in a blur,
And you'll soon see that you're back where you were.[[0,0],[5,0]],[[10,0],[10,2]],[[12,0],[14,0]],[[16,0],[18,0]],[[28,0],[28,2]],[4,1],[4,1],[[12,1],[12,4]],[[15,1],[15,26]],[[18,1],[18,7]],[[21,1],[22,3]],[[26,1],[29,1]],[[5,2],[12,2]],[[14,2],[16,3]],[[20,2],[26,2]],[7,3],[7,3],[[19,3],[23,3]],[26,3],[26,3],[[13,4],[13,6]],[20,4],[20,4],[[23,4],[25,4]],[[27,4],[28,5]],[[14,5],[16,6]],[21,5],[21,5],[24,5],[24,5],[[7,6],[8,7]],[[12,6],[18,6]],[22,6],[24,6],[[28,6],[28,10]],[11,7],[11,7],[[19,7],[19,11]],[[25,7],[25,11]],[27,7],[27,7],[6,8],[6,8],[[10,8],[11,11]],[[13,8],[17,8]],[[20,8],[20,12]],[[6,9],[6,22]],[[9,9],[13,9]],[[17,9],[21,9]],[[27,9],[28,10]],[[8,10],[12,10]],[[14,10],[16,11]],[[18,10],[22,10]],[[24,10],[25,11]],[[7,11],[7,16]],[[12,11],[20,11]],[[22,11],[27,11]],[9,12],[9,12],[12,12],[12,12],[17,12],[17,12],[[21,12],[21,16]],[[23,12],[23,16]],[[26,12],[29,15]],[[9,13],[9,16]],[[11,13],[12,15]],[[14,13],[16,15]],[[18,13],[19,15]],[[8,14],[24,14]],[[5,15],[7,16]],[24,15],[[8,16],[10,16]],[[12,16],[13,17]],[[17,16],[18,17]],[20,16],[20,16],[[27,16],[28,19]],[[10,17],[20,17]],[[22,17],[22,19]],[11,18],[11,18],[[14,18],[16,18]],[18,18],[18,18],[[21,18],[25,18]],[[10,19],[10,27]],[12,19],[12,19],[17,19],[17,19],[[20,19],[20,30]],[[23,19],[25,21]],[[8,20],[11,20]],[[13,20],[17,20]],[[19,20],[21,20]],[27,20],[[22,21],[25,21]],[[4,22],[4,26]],[[9,22],[12,22]],[[14,22],[16,23]],[[18,22],[21,22]],[23,22],[23,22],[[26,22],[26,31]],[[2,23],[5,23]],[[8,23],[8,27]],[[13,23],[17,23]],[[23,23],[23,25]],[[25,23],[27,23]],[[6,24],[6,27]],[[11,24],[13,24]],[[17,24],[20,24]],[[22,24],[24,25]],[[2,25],[10,25]],[[13,25],[17,26]],[[21,25],[27,25]],[[12,26],[18,26]],[[22,26],[22,30]],[[24,26],[24,31]],[[19,27],[27,27]],[[19,29],[28,29]],[29,30],[29,30],[[23,31],[29,31]]

SPIDERS' NESTWORM
Slowly
does it crawl the floor,
Seeking clumsy feet to gnaw.

SPIDER
Their bite can poison arms and hands
While you are bound in silky strands.
Through thickened webs you'll have to wade.
Ignore the spells – fight with the blade.

LEPRECHAUN
Darts around
all dressed in green,
Likes to take
what it has seen.
Likes to blind you from afar,
Laughs at his use of the power of Sar.[[10,4],[10,6]],[[9,5],[11,5]],[[23,7],[23,9]],[22,8],[22,8]

GUARDIANSSPIKED WYRM
Dragonkin with golden hide,
And mouth with many teeth inside.

GOLEM
This grey solid giant is trouble indeed,
Protecting the dungeon from traveller's greed.
Step forth and face him, he strikes in a blur,
And you'll soon see that you're back where you were.

STONE ARTHROPOD
With pincers sharp and sting aloft,
It scuttles forth to sting flesh soft.[[10,4],[10,6]],[[9,5],[11,5]],[[23,7],[23,9]],[22,8],[22,8]

TOMB OF DRUAFANGSlain by a curse, tortured since,
Always forced to writhe and wince.
Something here is worth the trip,
Some knowledge you will want to grip.[[22,17],[22,19]],[[21,18],[25,18]],[[23,19],[25,21]],[[22,21],[25,21]],[23,22],[23,22],[23,23],[23,23]

GOLDEN ANCESTORSTo free the spirits so long trapped,
To free those whose life force is sapped,

The price is not coin, though it's gold.
Look in the centre where dead lie cold.[[16,0],[18,0]],[18,1],[[6,2],[8,2]],[7,3],[7,3]

FREE LOCKA kindly lock. What do I mean?
How many gold keys have you seen?
You'll want to keep them, if you can,
So use one here, it's a good plan.[[3,0],[5,0]],[4,1]

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.[2,16],[2,16],[[0,17],[2,17]],[0,18],[0,18]

SAR KEYSeek below, where spiders dwell,
With teeth and poison cobweb spell.
Follow blue through webs of pain
In order to this rare key gain.[[2,5],[2,7]],[3,6],[3,6]

BELOW THE FORGESLook around, leave nought unturned
Amidst all things blackened, burned.
Sift the ashes, move the rubble
For something to help, perhaps, with trouble.[[27,3],[27,5]],[[28,4],[28,9]],[27,7],[27,7],[27,9],[27,9]

SPITEFUL SPITTLESGreen is good, or so they say.
That advice proves correct this day.
But devil's luck you have if you
Can get the time right first, get through.[[0,20],[0,26]],[2,20],[2,20],[1,21],[1,21]

GOLDEN BAITWhat is this? Suspicious, yes?
Look around, perhaps to guess
Will hidden death strike for the kill?
Such paranoia could make you ill...[[15,11],[15,17]],[[14,13],[16,15]],[[12,14],[18,14]]

REVIVING ANCESTORSThe spirits of gold are trapped elsewhere,
They bid you free them, if you dare.
When freed they are, they'll pay the debt,
But first, back here, you'd better get.[[6,10],[6,14]],[[7,11],[7,14]],[[23,12],[23,16]],[8,14],[[22,14],[24,14]],[24,15]

TRICKED SOULFear of death can cause such acts
That are tricked by such untrue facts
That make you think you've power great,
But in truth, realisation's late.[[4,24],[4,26]],[[3,25],[5,25]]

MIND TRAPThe mind, it is a fragile thing
When faced with things like pain, dying.
But let it not be fooled all times.
See through the false and heed these rhymes![[13,23],[17,23]],[[13,24],[13,26]],[[15,24],[15,26]],[[17,24],[17,26]],[[14,25],[17,26]]

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.[18,0],[7,2],[20,2],[[23,2],[25,2]],[9,16],[11,18],[2,20],[8,20],[8,20],[4,22],[4,26],[12,26],[15,26],[17,26],[8,27],[1,28],[19,29],[1,31]

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.[[21,1],[22,3]],[[23,2],[23,4]],[12,3],[12,3],[[13,4],[13,6]],[[15,4],[15,7]],[[24,4],[25,5]],[[14,5],[16,6]],[[12,6],[16,6]],[11,7],[11,7],[18,7],[18,7],[[10,8],[11,11]],[13,8],[13,8],[17,8],[17,8],[[19,8],[20,11]],[[6,9],[6,16]],[[9,9],[13,9]],[[18,9],[21,10]],[[8,10],[12,10]],[22,10],[7,11],[7,11],[12,11],[12,11],[[18,11],[20,11]],[[7,12],[7,16]],[9,12],[9,12],[20,12],[20,12],[[23,12],[23,16]],[[9,13],[9,16]],[[21,13],[21,16]],[[8,14],[10,14]],[[20,14],[24,14]],[24,15],[[8,16],[10,16]],[20,16],[20,16],[10,17],[23,22],[23,22],[[23,23],[23,25]],[[22,24],[24,25]],[[21,25],[25,25]],[22,26],[24,26],[1,27],[1,27],[0,28],[0,28],[0,29]

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.[[0,2],[2,2]],[[31,2],[31,4]],[[0,3],[1,4]],[3,3],[3,3],[[29,3],[31,3]],[[2,4],[5,4]],[30,4],[30,4],[0,5],[0,5],[[4,5],[6,5]],[30,5],[1,6],[[2,14],[4,14]],[[1,15],[3,15]],[2,16],[27,21],[27,21],[28,22],[28,22],[[29,23],[30,26]],[[28,24],[31,24]],[31,25],[31,25],[[28,26],[31,26]],[29,27],[29,27]

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.[[0,16],[0,18]]

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.[3,3],[3,3],[0,25],[0,25]

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.[[18,3],[20,3]]

The Master ThiefMaster of locks, master of keys,
Takes when he looks if he likes what he sees.
He might be persuaded to open a lock
If you gave him the tools, and prepared for a shock.[[2,5],[2,7]],[3,6],[3,6],[4,7],[4,7],[4,8],[4,8]

Vecna the LichTo kill her body
frees the soul,
Contained as soup
within a bowl.
Come for treasure, you shall die,
Still echoes the map-maker's final cry.

The power of Death she commands over all,
The Undead come to server her call.
Mortal spirits can she break,
Mortal minds her magic take.

You were warned. Fools!You may win a battle. But never the war.

Follow my advice: flee and hide.

Abandon any hope and run away.

Unfair chances. Never fight a lich in the kingdom of the deads.[[6,11],[7,16]],[[5,15],[7,16]],[[6,17],[6,22]]

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?[4,0],[4,0],[[10,0],[10,2]],[[12,0],[14,0]],[[31,0],[31,2]],[4,1],[4,1],[12,1],[12,1],[[18,1],[18,6]],[[5,2],[12,2]],[1,8],[1,8],[[2,9],[2,12]],[[0,10],[0,14]],[3,10],[1,11],[1,11],[3,12],[3,12],[1,13],[4,13],[4,13],[[3,17],[3,19]],[30,17],[30,17],[[31,18],[31,22]],[[1,19],[3,19]],[30,21],[30,21],[[31,28],[31,31]],[0,30],[0,30]
