This is a pretty rich area on the top level. Eli is a friendly guard from Dharmon. Most important are two sublevels.

There's an underground mine noted by "Fresh Claim" and guarded by a mage named Andreas. Kill him if you want (there's no penalty other than guilt). Grab his crystals and go up the stairs to grab some more crystals (including a wisdom crystal).

The other nearby mine is the object of a job. Go down the stairs and start heading west. Kill the writhing masses with magic, and eventually you'll be attacked by unstable masses. These things explode so kill them from a distance. You'll find three spawner fungi causing all the problems. Kill them with lightning or ice, and watch out for their unstable mass spawn. They're resistant to fire. On death they drop a mandrake root, a swamp nodule, and a blessed longbow.
