Walk-through
12. Cloud Peak Mountains - Sector South of Nashkel

  • Albert, a little boy wandering around the center of this map, will ask you to find his dog, Rufie, for him. Rufie is east of the "boy" (all is not as it seems…). If you're not carrying the chewy toy, Rufie will attack, so make sure you don't confront the dog prior to talking to Albert.

    Area map of sector 12. There's a White Wolf that hangs out in the southern part, and Rufie the dog is in the NE. Make sure you talk to Albert in the NW before encountering Rufie.

  • You can get the autograph of an odd trio of Newhart fans if you play your cards right. Sendai (35 hp, level six), an Amnish guard, and his two companions, Delgod (22 hp, level six) and Alexander (21 hp, level six), will attack you if you are confrontational when you meet them.

  • Two strange bandits, Vax (29 hp, level six) and Zal, the "fastest dart-thrower in the west" (31 hp, level six), will attack you if you don't hand over all of your money. A nice hold person spell will take them out quickly if you have one available, but they're vulnerable to almost any form of attack. However, they're pretty tough customers: Vax has some magic bracers (bracers of Archery).

  • A winter wolf is in the eastern portion of this sector, near the waterfall. It has a lot of hit points and a frost attack that it can hurl from a distance, but it's more vulnerable to fire attacks and normal weapons. Take its pelt back to the Nashkel Store for a reward.

  • There's a hidden treasure cache (a scroll of chromatic orb and a scroll of cloudkill) at coordinates x=1798, y=413. Hit the "L" key to get your current coordinates.

NPCs in this sector: Albert, Alexander, Delgod, "Larry, Darryl, and Darryl", Sendai, Vax, and Zal

Enemies in this sector: Kobolds, kobold commandos, skeletons, winter wolf, xvarts, Vax and Zal, potentially Sendai, Delgod, and Alexander

Magic items in this sector: Bracers of archery, scrolls of chromatic orb, and cloudkill
