Walk-through
19. Sector South of High Hedge (Northwest, Northwest of Nashkel)

  • Bassilus (49 hp, level seven), the mad cleric, is here in the southeast corner of this sector, protected by a few zombies and a small army of heavy crossbow-wielding skeletons. By pretending to be his parent, telling Bassilus you haven't seen him since Zhentil Keep, and then accusing him of lying or of being a coward and a murderer, you'll deprive Bassilus of his undead escort and have to face just him alone. Bassilus is wearing magic gauntlets (gauntlets of fumbling) and wielding a war hammer +2: Ashideena.

    Map of sector 19. You can find Bassilus (and collect a 5,000 gold reward by taking him out) in the SE corner.

  • Melicamp the chicken is being threatened by a wolf in the northeast corner of the map. Melicamp is actually a mage who had some problems with a polymorph spell, and he'll ask you to help him. You can do so by packing him up in your backpack and taking him to Thalantyr, in the High Hedge sector, north of this one.

  • Zargal (32 hp, level three), Geltik (22 hp, level three) and Kissiq (18 hp, level two), three would-be hobgoblin bandits, will demand that you give them all of your money or risk attack. Stomp them using a sleep or hold person spell and take Zargal's short sword +2: the Whistling Sword.

NPCs in this sector: Bassilus, Footy (boy spying on Bassilus), Geltik, Kissiq, Malkax (22 hp, level 3), Melicamp the chicken, Roger, and Zargal

Enemies in this sector: Bassilus, black bear, hobgoblin elites, skeletons, normal, dread, and worg wolves, and zombies
