Areas of Interest
- Roald Tunnelfist: Roald (973, 415) will tell you of a recent battle he and his dwarven companions had with the barbarians. He will mention the barbarian king, whom he says attacked him with a gigantic two-handed axe. It seems he was able to block the blow and escape, unlike the rest of his party. Roald's primary importance is that he will tell you the location of the barbarian camp, and will mention that they have guards on patrol to protect against intruders. If you don't mind screwing up your game, you can kill him and gain the following: Battle Axe +2: Defender and Chainmail +2.
- Ambere Dunn: Ambere Dunn (921, 397) is the wife of Tybald Dunn and the mother of Hailee Dunn. What path you take when speaking with her depends largely on your alignment. If you are evil and want to take advantage of her, you can sleep with her, although you will lose a reputation point for doing so. But who cares! You can convince her to either leave town or return to her family, thereby gaining 15,000 XP. Note, however, that you will likely need to have a character with a charisma of 13 or above do the talking to enable these options.
- Kieran Nye: Kieran (702, 369) is the innkeeper and resident bartender. If you have spoken with Hailee and learned her secret, or if you have found the mirror in his chambers, you can find out that he is not what he seems. He is in fact a magic user exiled from the Hosttower of the Arcane, a group of malefic wizards bent on gaining power at all costs. In exchange for keeping his secret, he will grant you access to his collection of magical items. This story continues a bit later, but for now you are done with Kieran, aside from making use of his services as merchant/innkeeper. If your fondest desire is to take on the whole town of Lonelywood, kill him to gain the following: 1 Healing Potion, and Mage Dagger +4. Some of the items included amongst his hoard of magic items (his store, not on his body) are as follows: Scrolls including Lance of Disruption, Shout, Contact Other Plane, Lower Resistance, Trollish Fortitude, Seven Eyes, and Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting; Gem Bags, Scroll Cases, Potion Bags, Jamison's Sling, Dagger of Safe Harbor, Zilzanzer's Magic Darts, and Xainlaphar's Flying Skull. Note: If you have a mage in your party, be sure to get Contact Other Plane, as it will come in handy when doing the Barrows. You can also pick Kieran's pocket for a Ring of Greater Resistance.
- Murdaugh: In front of the bar you will find Murdaugh (749, 422), wandering bard and "failure extraordinaire." Allow him to sing and you will learn of his plight, how he wooed a princess but failed in his attempt to marry her because he couldn't find the Glacier Rose. Being the hero that you are, you just might be able to help him with that predicament later on. Murdaugh can also tell you about the town and its inhabitants. If you hate bards and have no qualms about destroying your game, kill him to gain a Long Sword of Action +2.
- Large Chest: Here you fill find a chest (282, 590) containing a Robe of the Neutral Archmagi.
- Secret Door: Here you will find a secret door (355, 581). Inside, you will find what looks to be a wizard's lair. Obviously, that pesky Kieran is more than he seems, but you already know that because, being the thorough player that you are, you have already discovered the secrets of both Kieran and Hailee. Search the bookshelf (449, 479) to find a Seven Eyes scroll. It is rather small and easy to miss, but if you put your cursor on the visible scrolls protruding from the bookshelf, you should find it easy enough. And if you still can't find it, look at number 7 below.
- Scroll: Here you will find a scroll of Seven Eyes (449, 479).
- Upstairs: These stairs lead to the upstairs level (AR 9102) of the Whistling Gallows. Under a plank (1091, 562) you will find a Rogue Stone and 5 Translocation Arrows. An armoire (605, 750) contains a Traveler's Robe. A cabinet (350,562) has a Cursed Oil of Speed.
- Exit: This leads outside to Lonelywood.
