Dark LegacyThe flooded lair of a mad mage under a mountain, for levels 40 to e1000.
When his kingdom was taken from him the mage Keraptis fled under a mountain, and there, in the damp, he has slowly gone quite mad. He took three artifacts with him that were not his. It amuses him, they say, that people come looking for them and perish.
The way down is a rusted stair, and at its foot the water stands knee deep. A wet and bedraggled sphinx sits in the first passage and offers every comer a riddle or a battle. Past her some of the ways run under salt water, where there are crayfish the size of bulls, and a vampire who once led the mage's gnomes wanders the tunnels crying 'STONE!'. Keraptis himself is at the end of it all, in a den of torn spellbooks, screaming.
