In Pit:
  * 95 Skeletons
  * 30 Zombies
  * 13 Wights
Elsewhere:
  * 1 Arcanadaemon
  * 10 Piscodaemons

Vault: On the heavy iron door are the words (in elvish): **Name the one whose
bow never errs and who fights with a star.**  If the name [[Corellon|"Corellon
Larethian"]] is said, the door will begin to glow and if any evil creatures or
undead are in the vicinity they will be shot with a 20d6 bolt of fire (figure it
as a 3rd level spell from a 20th level spellcaster).  If this is the case, then
the door will not open.  Otherwise, the door will smoothly open revealing:

An aged human male sitting cross-legged wearing a simple robe, a belt, a
shoulder bag, and carrying a long staff.  This is [[Tsylaire]], the wanderer, a
semi-divine servant of [[Corellon]] whose purpose it is to search the world for
the new [[Ainagûl]].  He will thank those who released him, speak very little,
and then walk off in a random direction.

Also in here is a complete library of archaic tomes and scrolls.  (See next
page).

----

The library has 73 books, librams, and tomes as well as nearly 500 scrolls.

Among the books are:
  * __Alterations of the Intrinsic Absolutes__ by Math
  * __Libram of the Great Paravisual Emanations__ by Nystul
  * __Arcane Puissance of the Memory__ by Rary
  * __Mental Impressions of the Retina__ by Johydee
  * __Doors and Passages of Parallel Worlds__ by Lethchauntos
  * __Epic Saga of the Great Conjurers__ by Mordenkainen
  * __Life of Nature, its secrets__ by Caligarde
  * __History of the city of Pleven__ by Queen Coris
  * __An Anthropological view of the lesser evils__ by [[Aladar]]
  * __The healing points - A Biology text for humanoids__ by [[Aladar]]
  * __Herbal Guide__
  * __History of the city of Wisewood__
  * __The prayers of the Elf Fathers__
  * __Combat History of the Orcish Battles__
  * **Book of Exalted Deeds**
  * **The Book of the Map** by [[Bar]] (*)

(*) This book has a plain leather covering with the symbol of the wizard Bar on
its cover.  It is locked with a simple lock that cannot be opened in any way
known.  Even the elves could not figure how to open this.

Among the scrolls are:
  * Scroll: Protection from Demons
  * Scroll of 3 spells: Push / Lightning Bolt / Remove Curse

Also here is the following: A metal plaque of ancient origin with the following
poem carved into it in elvish:

^  Piercing bright and razor sharp\\ Will awake in time.\\ With them comes the [[sister harp]]\\ To sing of the rhyme  ^
^  Of the end of the worlds,\\ The birth of a new.\\ Shall [[Kelva]]'s might be unfurled\\ To battle evils two.  ^
^  [[Mancu Rilmaeg]], the bright\\ [[Rûklil]], the slayer:\\ From [[Cyrillus]], their might\\ Will come to stay here.  ^

On a similar plaque is another poem:

^  The greatest battle time has seen,\\ The proudest warrior man can be,\\ The quickest elf in forest green,\\ The stoutest dwarf the mines will see\\ Must gather all the power good\\ And battle on the Lake of Blood.  ^
^  The three await in sleepless slumber\\ Whilst storms and death awake in number,\\ So seek the resting place of night\\ And there in mist will lie the might.  ^
