Introduction
 
Upon the completion of the four major tasks, adventurers are given
special access to the Guild's secret storeroom.  The storeroom is
located upstairs in the Adventurer's guild behind a secret door
north.  Once the four tasks have been completed, an adventure can
ask for -passage- at this location, and be allowed to access
the valuable resources of the Guild.  The four major tasks includes
slaying of the famous dragons, meeting Somnium in Somnium Tower,
defeating Grand General Infernal in the Iron Citadel, and defeating
Lord Ephialtes of the Nightmare Temple.
 
O===============================================================O
 
Secrets of the Nightmare Temple
 
Before one is allowed to challenge Lord Ephialtes, brave adventurers
must defeat the five nightmares.  First of the nightmare is Death. 
Second of the nightmare is Failure.  Third of the nightmare is
Darkness.  Fourth of the nightmare is Power and Oppression.  Fifth
of the nightmare is shadow or oneself.   Upon entering the
designated location, turning the base of the statue, and naming
the nightmare, one is able to challenge the nightmare.  When
defeating one nightmare, a party can advance to the next
nightmare.  After the final nightmare of shadow or oneself, a key
will appear that will grant passage to the hallways leading to
Lord Ephialtes.

At the end of the hallway is Lord Ephialtes, the mightiest of all
of Algorab's lieutenants.  Upon his defeat, you will be marked.

Secrets of the Iron Citadel
 
To reach the Iron Citadel, one must gate to the the Spire and
cross the plane of fire and retrieve the flame shard in the
volcano.  From there, one must go through the wastelands through
the river on the east side.  After the Infernal Outlands, one
may venture through the Infernal Outlands where one can find the
Iron Citadel. 
 
Outside the Iron Citadel, one can get the key by killing a
piscoloth north of the Iron Citadel under the lake.  From there,
one can enter the secret entrance south of the Iron Citadel under
the lake behind the locked door.  As this passage is warded with
no magic, a member of the party must have a bow/crossbow lure
it a piscoloth protecting the passage.  The person luring must
run back south, and quaff a water breathing potion to avoid
drowning.  This clears the way to enter the courtyard of the Iron
Citadel.  The whole party must swim successful up the passage
without drowning.

Upon entry into the courtyard, one must kill creature that has
the key to the southwestern tower.  By killing creatures in
each tower and acquiring its key, one can advance to the next
in the order of southwest, northwest, northeast, southeast.
 
To challenge the Grand General Infernal, one must prove one's
worth by acquiring the gold key.  Three conditions must be met
to acquire the gold key, a rogue to pick a chest, a person
standing on a pressure plate, and a person pushing a button. 
East of the courtyard is a magical barrier that will only open
when someone is on the pressure plate while someone else is
pushing the button.  Beyond this barrier is a locked chest that
can only be lock picked.  The location the pressure plate is
west of the the hole in the courtyward.  The location of the
button is on the second floor north of the hole of the
courtyard behind a maze.
 
Once the gold key has been acquired, the whole party must gather
together and go through the maze of the second floor looking for
the golden door that leads to the Grand General Infernal.  Upon
his defeat, you will be marked.
