Pools of Darkness: part 1 of 31 - Pools of Darkness_16 walkthrough

KALISTES TEMPLE 1. Door to Drow Caves 2. Barracks / Rest Place 3. Prison 4. Map 5. Slaves 6. Oracle 7. Priest 8. Mage 9. Armoury 10. Stairs to Dungeon 11. Temple 12. Portal Go all the way west and enter the barracks at 2. Dispatch the drows to secure the only room in the temple where you can rest. Do it then leave the room. At 3 there’s a prison, if you end up here you’ll be trapped but Traned intervene and rescue you. Go to 4 and get the map. Now touch all the rooms marked with 5 to free the prisoners. (Note that in some cases you must fight drow guards). Pay a visit to the mage at 8, the priests at 7 and the useless armory at 9 to get some useful information then go to 6 and listen to the oracle. Return to the barracks to rest and heal then approach the door at 11 and save. Cast some defensive spells and enter. You’ll fight a group of assorted monsters. Watch out for the pets of Kalistes, they’re very dangerous and can kill a character with a single blow so concentrate your fireballs on them first then on the spell casters while your fighters engage battle with the other drows. After the battle you’ll be questioned so answer “HANDS” to close the three portals to the realms. This is a great blow to Kalistes but now it’s time to find her so jump in the portal at 12 to enter the Limbo. You’ll meet Elminster again and, after the speech, use his powers to rest, heal and train. As for the first time leave all your items in his storage or they’ll be destroyed then “Move On” and enter Kalistes Land.
