Below the streets of Arabel, the verminous tide of rodents scurry. Their ever swelling numbers filling the tunnels with the chittering of rat and the scurry of claws, small and large, on the filth covered masonry.

Except for one tunnel. Within this dingy refuge of filth, no sound is heard. The air is thick with the volcanic stench of sulphur. For those able to distinguish it in these lightless warrens, a heat haze shimmers in the gloom. The cess piles of food left in tribute remain, for a long time, half eaten or outright untouched.

Far to the north in the Stormhorns, a mountain shudders and lava bubbles. Already disturbed, something has further agitated the once slumbering pits of magna.

Don't think they use Harm, from what I remember from my last run at it, they had Inflict Moderate wounds. The non-corporeal mobs were a bigger challenge.

Wasn't there a loot container in the last room with the boss spawn? Or is that a tomb/sarcophagus?

It is one of the tougher lowbie quests, but it also rewards more of the stronger healing wands. Which you can then weaponise.

...from Tilverton to Arabel was experienced a day ago, as caravans were fitted with new wheels, straked with shiny steel rims. A small inconvenience to many, though subsequent passengers agreed that the ride was smoother than they had experienced for some time.

Clearly the caravan business has been booming, as the local Caravan master was seen leading his teamsters in a round of bawdy songs in the Winking Moon, where many an ale was purchased from his bulging purse.

Travellers coming from the west speak of events a few days past.

A group of adventurers, some in livery others without, entered Eveningscar and set about taunting the tormented souls of those judged during the Angelic holocaust with outpourings of emotion and love. A knife twisted in the gut of those forever denied such things. Such cruelty; who would be that heartless as to salt the wounds of those so tragically damned?

@miss_behaviour Agreed, the cheaper price tag is already a decent bonus for petitioning a PC Cleric to raise your buddies. Dropping the XP penalty just seems to penalise those players not fortunate enough to have a PC Cleric in their TZ.

@jaysantoku Added one for you mate
