Pool of Radiance: New Phlan (part 1 of 19) - Pool of Radiance_8 walkthrough

WEALTHY AND TEMPLE OF BANE 1. Gate to Wilderness 2. Gate to Kovel Mansion 3. Gate to Temple of Bane 4. Goblin Slaves 5. Orcs Ambush 6. Gate to Wealthy 7. Evil Altar 8. Mace 9. Treasure These sectors are considered cleared when you check all rooms in Wealthy and defeat Mace in the Temple of Bane. Mainly orcs and hobgoblins inhabit these areas. You begin in the Wealthy sector. Explore each room and pay special attention the seven rooms of the central mansion; there’s a treasure in almost every room so use the “Search” command to explore the area. Watch out for orcs at 5 and for goblin slaves at 4. These slaves, if you let them go, can give you some information. When you random encounter a group of four orcs attack them and pick up their Holy Symbols. There’s nothing else here so make your way to the gates at 3 to enter the Temple of Bane sector. The only interesting thing in this area is the temple itself. Make your way straight to the entrance to the west and confront the blind priest. He’ll let you enter because he senses the presence of the Holy Symbols of Bane on you. Once you’re in proceed to the altar at the far end (7) and destroy it. Mace and his followers will immediately attack you but a couple of “Fireball” spells will eradicate the threat. Get his magic items and engage the “Search” command to explore the spots at 9. (Note that if Dristan is still alive at the end of this battle he’ll leave you). You’re finished with these sectors so return to the Council Clerk for your reward then come back to the Wealthy area and go north to the gates at 2 to enter the Kovel Mansion area.
