Conflux/Places/Head Councillor

Description

• Solune, the Head Councillor, is mentioned in frightened terms by other members of the Council.
• The Emerald Level is where he carries out magic experiments.
• The party can encounter him eventually after visiting key areas on both levels 7 and 8.

How to get there

• In the Chambers of The Council, navigate north west from the Officers Canteen’s teleporter to find a closed door.
• Behind the door, a ladder leading up and another leading down can be found.
• The party arrives at a platform with stairs going down to the east and alcoves containing gems to the north. Other stairs can be seen across a pit.
• Taking the eastern stairs leads to corridors that go further down around Pit D.
• On the first floor down, the party will find a short path to the right leading to stairs going up.
• Climbing these stairs gets the party across the pit seen earlier with a blue switch on the wall. Pressing it releases the Dark Councillor from his hideout.

Interests

• Solune possesses 2 key items of interests:
  • A Cerberus, worth 3 points in the Competition.
  • The Powergem he stole from the rightful Head Councillor, which triggers a scripted event ultimately leading to one game ending.
• There is a switch on the wall which opens and closes Pit D on the platform where the party battles Solune.

Connections

• The spiral stairs to the east snake around Pit D until its bottom 6 floors below.
• These stairs also lead to other connected areas on level 8, to the Garden of Nostalgia on level 10 and to the Maze of Thieves on level 13.
• If the party collects the Dwarven Powergem from Solune, the access will be blocked and it will only be possible to escape via the Stairs of Ashes back to the Dwarven Hall.
