There's a friendly avernite camp here. Once you have the Gelmax quest, go south from this camp and you'll see a goblin. Kill it, go through its secret door. You'll find Gelmax the goblin shaman. Whack his goblins, then smack on him. Once you do enough damage, he runs away. Pillage his stuff.

Immediately south of the entrance is a small claim marker (reddish looking stakes) that belongs to Tobias. Walking next to this provides a check for the "Claim Check" job board quest. Also, in the far NE of this area, you'll find another Tobais claim stake.

To the west of the goblin hideout are some slimes and herbs. To the east is a puddle which is guarded by more slimes, including an unstable mass.

If you're coming here from the underground, you'll notice a lot of foes. Lava bats roam the cave passages, they can gang up on you if you're not careful. Try to fight in the bending passages so that the bats have to fight on your terms. There are a few pools here- the green one is the only one you should try to drink out of. Kill the fissure bats guarding it so that you can use it at will.

The Pit Crawler is to the NE. If you don't have Lark's quest to hunt it, the !little! beasty will hide from you. Prepare prior to fighting it, then approach it. Don't hit it until it charges you. It summons lots of abyssal worms to help it fight, kill the worms until it breaks free. The worms should die with one hit from a decent meleer/spell. When the pit crawler breaks free use spells on it to take it down (lightning spray + smite work well). It hits hard, but is soft against attacks. Try using spells only, as melee will reflect some damage back at you. You may lose a character or two, but you can use the green pool to the NW to heal back up. The pit crawler drops a treated carapace on death. To the SE you'll find some undead- kill them and take the stuff on the nearby bodies.
