+) Arrival chamber.  Here is where all the party members will
+coalesce.  When all have arrived, the summoner will show
+herself and challenge the party to escape from her dungeon.
+This room has heavy portcullises on all exits which she
+will lift after making her challenge.  The controls are in
+room (3).  Note: the secret door to area (3) is very
+hard to find: 1/2 normal chances.  Plus, it is magically
+trapped: //Fire Trap// for d4+14 and non-magically trapped:
+a scything blade for 2d6 damage.
+As an initial test, the summoner will summon 2 **Trolls**
+(hp 30,40).
+) This room appears empty, but is magicked so to cause
+nausea to all who enter unless they save vs. spell every 10'.
+On the far wall is a well-hidden compartment (can
+only be seen from 10' away) in which is a crystal
+rod about 1' long and hexagonal in shape.  It radiates
+a dim magic and corresponds to room (13).
+) This is the control room in which the master summoner lives.
+Resting on a small pillar in the center of the room is
+a //crystal ball// which allows only //clairaudience// and
+//clairvoyance// up to 300' away.  Also here are the
+controls to the portcullises everywhere.  Here she keeps a
+spare bed, also.  If anybody enters this room, her
+guards will try to expel them: 3 **Hell Hounds** (HD7,
+hp 24,23,40).
+) In this room is a magical device in the form of an empty
+metal cube.  Set into the top of the box are three
+gems: a red one, a yellow one, and a green one.  If any
+question is asked aloud, one of the three gems will
+glow: Red=No, Yellow=Maybe or I don't know; Green=Yes.
+The entity in the box is fiercely loyal to the summoner
+and has an intelligence of 15.
+) The box has control of this secret door and may open it
+if asked politely.  In this room are the following guards:
+**Firetoads** (hp 20,17,12,15) who guard 5 //Potions//: //Healing//,
+//Clairaudience//, //Flying//, //Invulnerability//, and //Heroism//.
+) At the arrows in this room is a wall of force which can
+be easily passed through heading west, but solid when
+heading east.  Damage equivalent to 20 points (magical only)
+will drop the wall.  (A +2 sword will do 2 points per hit).
+Once entered, the following will be summoned: 5 **Large
+Solifugid** (hp 19,19,7,18,9).
+) In this room is a magical pool which teleports anybody
+who steps into it to a random room in this
+dungeon: Roll a d20 (consider a 20 as ending up in
+a corridor somewhere).
+) This is the room of strife.  Upon entering, the room will
+telepathically suggest (as the spell) that each character
+can no longer trust his party members and must
+subdue them immediately!  The focus point is a //Wand
+of Fear// set into a pedestal (87 charges).  If the wand
+is removed, the suggestion ends.
+) In this room are 2 **Hill Giants** (hp 42,32) who have
+been instructed to toss any people entering into
+the magical pool in the far corner.  The pool has the
+effect of temporarily changing a person's class as
+below:
+| 1 | Cleric | 8 | Magic-User |
+| 2 | Druid | 9 | Illusionist |
+| 3 | Fighter | 10 | Thief |
+| 4 | Paladin | 11 | Acrobat |
+| 5 | Ranger | 12 | Assassin |
+| 6 | Barbarian | 13 | Monk |
+| 7 | Cavalier | 14 | Bard |
+The person's level will remain the same, but the class
+will be different.  Alignment is not a factor as this is
+only temporary (Note: it can be dispelled vs. 12th level
+or it will expire after 3d6 rounds).
+) In the center of this room is a fountain which if
+the water is drunk will polymorph the character into
+a random race (Roll on the MU reincarnation table).
+This change is as //Polymorph Other// but if the system
+shock is failed the original class will be forgotten
+(Note this can be dispelled vs. 12th level).
+) Across the room here is a barrier which does not allow
+magic of any sort to pass through it.  This means that
+to cross the room, a character must strip him/herself of
+all magic items.
 {{micronautsummoning2.jpg?500|The Summoner's Dungeon Part 2}}
+) After twenty feet, this room has a false wall (chance
+to detect is intelligence + level as a %).  Before it, the
+room is bare.  After it, there will be 3 **Poisonous
+Snakes** (roll poison randomly every hit) (hp 12,6,9).  They
+guard a locked and poison needle trapped chest (roll poison
+as per snakes) with 1000 gp, 5 gems (1100, 100x4), and the
+following magic items: //+2 Cloak//, //Boots of Speed//, and a pair
+of //Javelins of Lightning//.
+) Set into the wall above this "secret door" is a hole
+the exact size of the crystal rod from room (2).
+If it is placed in the hole, the wall will vanish
+revealing a 4'x4' entrance into (13) (The hole is 5' up).
+When the rod is removed, the wall returns (better be
+out of the way!).  Inside are 3 **Pseudo-Undead: Wights**
+(hp 30,26,19) and 5 **Wererats** (hp 10,12,21,15,20) guarding
+another crystal rod set in the wall of the north alcove.
+It corresponds to room (15).
+) Along the far wall of this room is a large, intricate tapestry
+depicting eight robed men linked arm in arm with their
+eyes closed.  The tapestry is actually a magical window
+which can be stepped through in both directions, but
+only seen through from area (15).
+) Living here are 3 **White Dragons** (Small, Young; Small, Young;
+and Average, Sub-Adult - hp 10,10,18).  The second can
+cast a //Shocking Grasp// spell which it will do when the
+party enters area (14).  Note the dragons cannot be
+surprised and will be ready for anybody entering this
+room.  Their treasure is: 1000 gp, 5000 sp, 10000 cp,
+gems (4338 gp) and a //+2 Ring// and a magically sealed
+box with a hexagonal indentation in it.  Only the
+crystal from (13) can open the box.  Inside is another
+crystal rod.  This corresponds to area (17).
+) Deep in this room is an idol of a Nightmare (Hades' symbol)
+reared for the attack.  If the idol is touched,
+a 6d6 //Chain Lightning// will be set off and aimed initially
+at the person who touched the idol.  If the idol
+is touched a second time, a **Nightmare** (hp 45) will
+phase in and attack the toucher.  If it is touched
+a third time, a set of //Bracers of Defense: AC 2// will
+be given to the toucher: permanently affixing themselves to
+the person's wrists.  They radiate a very dim evil, though...
+) Set into the wall of this room is a carving of the
+head of a Medusa.  If it is touched, all characters in
+the room must save vs. petrification or be turned to stone.
+At this point, the head will vanish revealing a hexagonal
+hole as before.  If the crystal from (15) is placed in
+here, the secret door into (19) will open.
+) In here are 2 **Hydra** (HD 8,9: hp 64 and 72, Dam d8 per head)
+guarding an empty room.
+) This is the last room.  In here is a well which seems
+to be very deep.  In fact, it is a portal to the
+surface where the summoner will show herself again
+and say "You have proven yourselves worthy in combat.
+Great enough that you could destroy the demon whom
+I am unable to affect.  May the gods shine on
+you heroes."  At this point she will release from
+an //Iron Flash// a **Goristro** (AC -2, MV15", HD20+10, #AT2&1,
+D2d10+10(x2) & 5d8, MR60%, Int Low, CE, hp 213, 23' tall,
++2 weapon to hit, Detect illusion & invisibility, fear, gloom 60',
+levitation, spider climb, Tport (no error) (1/day), regenerate @ 1/T,
+immune to cold, fire, poison & poison gas).  She feels
+that since the party made it through her dungeon that
+they should be able to defeat the demon.  (She's
+a bit wacko sometimes).
+Note: If the party makes an effort to leave immediately,
+the demon will ignore them and trod off somewhere
+else.
