A chilly detour

I knew that the Sages wanted us to go after the Fire Fiend in Mt Gulg (formerly known as Gurgu Volcano) but we felt that a detour was in order. So we headed for the frigid Ice Cavern.






The Mindflayers were tough. They could paralyze everyone in the party just by thinking about it.



This is what comes from fighting Mindflayers.



But we were able to defeat many and gain another level of experience, achieving level 16.



Dark Wizards also roamed the halls. They had a death touch attack that seemed very unfair.



The White Dragons are tough, but all they had going for them was a deadly ice breath weapon, a thick scaly hide, and the mystique of being one of the most ancient creatures in the world. We were always thankful to fight them instead of Mindflayers or Dark Wizards.



Huge Ice Gigas roamed the halls. Brushing icicles from the ceiling of the cave as they walked toward us with menace.



Thick coated Winter Wolves with an arctic breath hunted us in packs.



Guarding something important was a gigantic Evil Eye.



Oh! The levistone. I'm guessing that it can make something float.



Back down the river, where we caught up with the even deadlier Neochu.
