If coming from (H2) The Honeycomb, go up the nearby stairs. Kill the three spraying bushes, and you'll find Sleater. He'll give you the ability to destroy the undead if you ask.

Come back after you've done it, and he wants your help to explore Athron's old lair. Go north and down the stairs to reach the lair. Ghessalus is a drake and is guarding the entrance. Kill it. It drops a drakeskin shield. Prepare yourself, then head north through the door. A dragon's familiar waits for you. To beat it, kill the dark blue pylon (ONLY!), and then hammer away on the demon. It goes down easily. Otherwise, you won't make any progress against it. It drops an infernal shroud on death, easily one of the best cloaks in the game. Read the stuff in the boxes to improve lightning spray, Mass healing, and Summon aid. Go back and tell Sleater of your success.

Other points of interest in this area include Xandros the rogue, a mage- bandit. Kill him and his clan for some minor goods. Blind skunkworms are northeast of Xandros, and have a number of crystals nearby. Kill them and take their stuff to get one more piercing crystal.
