Welcome to the armpit of Avernum. The people here are mostly thugs and are lead by Annatolia, who is queen of the thugs. The most interesting thing here is the arena, where you can kill stuff for money. It's definitely worth fighting in the arena. Other things of note include Coromrr, a nephil merchant who will buy your stuff (like the stuff you've looted from bandits), and Sage Eichler, a madman who will make you wands if you bring him the correct ingredients (including a stick). I don't use wands so I don't know what he has to offer. There are some bandits hiding in the north portion of the town, a mage drops a knowledge brew on death.

Sage Eichler will give you a quest to find some friendly spiders. However, he likes to dissect things, so it's your choice whether you want to help him out. I like to complete his quest just before I confront Annatolia, which turns the whole town hostile. Then I can kill Sage Eichler with no moral guilt and then I can take his stuff.

Fight in the arena. You first fight a slavering wolf (400c), then a spitting pit spider (750c), then a gladiator (1000c and the mayor will speak with you), then a basilisk queen (400c, rod of alacrity), and finally a spiny terrordrake (radiant plate). Talk with queen Annatolia for a quest to kill Crewl. Check out her nearby rooms for a blessed longbow and a stability girdle.

If you're here to kill Annatolia, prepare yourself and tell her as much. Use magic at first, until her statues come to life. Then use melee attacks and kill the giants. She falls and drops a blessed armor band on death. All her guards are now hostile so you'll have to fight your way out. This is your best opportunity to level a town without feeling much guilt. Go ahead and have fun!
