Cache: Glowing Basalt x5
Notable items: Ruby Necklace
Stats: Haste +1, Slow +1

Fire lizards abound, as do bats. Check out all of the cubbies in the cave wall, most are populated by hostile creatures, and you'll find a lot of glowing basalt as a reward. The most important thing here is to the SW. Here you'll find several vahnatai, and a book which teaches haste and slow spells. Talk with the vahnatai if you want, they're not that helpful. Head downstairs.

Summoning platforms and some containers with minor goodies are to the NW. Work your way around, and you'll find some crystal pylons. Kill them now, one at a time. Doing so will save you a lot of trouble later (Yes, this level is a trap). The basins to the SE restore energy, poison you, and heal you, from left to right. Head to the SE, and you'll find the individual who is causing most of the problems here. Turn around, haste, bless, and shield, and take out the creatures nearby. Go slow, and as soon as you cross the glowing green runes, more creatures attack you. None are all that tough, but they can be obnoxious.

Once you head up the stairs, the vahnatai here become hostile. Prepare beforehand and rush them. They drop a ruby necklace and some vahnatai items on death.
