CHAPTER 4: DARK DEALINGS UNDER THE SEWERS
In this chapter, you get to sludge about the sewers and undersewers of Southgate in order to prevent an unholy alliance between a large enclave of beyonders and members of the conspiracy to bring about the prophecy of Zoniax.
Note: If you have Maia Arclight along, then you already know that the Warlocks of Southgate, a corps of mages and wizards sworn to defend the city, has become corrupted. This corruption may go as high as to the very top of leadership of the Warlocks, meaning the Magelord and his closest lieutenants - especially the second-in-command, one named Rune Blackstaff.

From there, head straight to the large hall of
columns at x69y34 and take care of the beyonders
there.
4) head back to the secret door at x62y25 and enter the actual halls
of the beyonders. Take care of any you find
there and head for the stairs at x63y46 leading down to the hall
of their leader, Xaraxas.
5) Head straight north to the door at x59y57. In there, you will
come upon a meeting between Xaraxas,
his closest greater beyonder advisors and Rune
Blackstaff and a small retinue of Warlocks of
Southgate. With Maia being
with you, she will speak her mind to Rune who will scoff at her
naivete. He will then depart - but not before telling Xaraxas how
troublesome your group has been so far and leaving his retinue of
warlocks to help Xaraxas take care of you. Instead, take care of
him ... then search Xaraxas' throne for some interesting items.
6) Afterwards, retrace your steps all the way to the
surface. Head to the Grinning Sea Drake tavern to get your reward
from Mel and take a deserving rest. Then, speak again to Mel and
accept the job of taking care of the Bandit Lord
of the Farmholds.
Congratulations! You have rid Southgate of a
dangerous beyonder enclave! You can now tackle Chapter 5 (most
suggested), or Chapters 1-3, 6-9!
