Going through the Gate in the House of stone that leads to the Dungeon Under Myth Dranor
Most of this module may be used "as is", but there are a couple of changes.
First, there are more gates in the mirror room than are currently shown. Only the Gate the party enters through is written up there. The gates are labeled:
D=Deadly - Anyone pass through is dead with no ST
B=Broken - Wall is visibly malfunctioning (sparks, distorted , pitch black), Acts as an indestructable material wall.
1 - This Gate leads to an Island in the far East. Located on the W. edge of the Islands of Wa, Ke island is inhabited by an Elvin Hermit religious sage. He is a stoic and hospitable man who knows of another Gate on this island, but doesn’t know where it goes. (It goes to the capitol city of the Islands of Wa - Toh Ke Oh in an area of the Forbidden Palace.
2 - This gate goes to the Underdark area called Mezoboranzin - The city of the Drow. The gate is one way and exits into an area of the city long abandoned which used to be the homes of those who favored some contact with the Above world.
3 - The Fabled Lost City of Arved. It was abandoned in the years immediatly following the Dark Milenium and is now home to Illitheds who care nothing for the information and inventions tha lie within. These Gnomes were the most technologically advanced on this planet. Although most of their great works will work no more, those which had a magical as well as tech component may still have an effect of some kind.
4 - This Gate plunges the user into 50’ of water. The gate is 2 way, and the other side of this gate will take the user to the bottom of a luxerious pool. The gold flecked tile is sparkling and the water is pure and about 75 deg. The pool is in a manshion owned by Denoret the Dependable. An accomplished Alchmist and Magician, he specialized in making magical weapons and misc. items. He is now retired (mostly) and has devoted the last 28 years to maping and studying the Gates of this world. He has made himself a Girdle of Magical Resistance (65%) and wears a +4 ring of Protection and a Wish Ring with one wish. Around his neck is the Amulet of Protection from Missles (+5). A tiera of ESP sits on his brow and a Staff of the Magi is in his hand.
The house is located in the middle of the Annorock desert. It is thought that there are no living things for hundreds of miles around. The sumptious palace is completely covered by the desert sands. It is possible for a man to walk on the roof of the building and have no idea there is a home under him. It completely covers and captures the moisture of a artesian spring which has continously provided water for the last 2500 years. The area was originaly a place of study and relaxation for the Mages and Techs who built the Gates. Denoret aprenticed himself to the Mage who lived and worked here when Denoret found it. Makh’Esh was from the lands of Al’Kadim and willed the home to Denoret on his death. Denoret served the old mage for 12 years, but this amazing place is his! Light is from "mood lights" which sense the mood of the last person to touch it and adjust the color and intensity of the light.
5 - The last gate goes to the UnderMountain adventure Torbriand’s Graveyard. The gate found in the graveyard will exit to the Level 3 of the UnderMountain One set.
