28. Firewine Bridge Sector (South of Gullykin, North/Northeast of Nashkel)

• An NPC in the northwest corner of the map, Bentan, will try to get you to cast off your worldly possessions to server the god of suffering, Ilmater. He's carrying a protection scroll if you feel like liberating him of his worldly possessions.
  

• Carsa, in the northern portion of this sector, is struggling with a jar that has made her companions mad. Kahrk, an ogre mage (103 hp), is the cause of her troubles. If you pressure Carsa to give you the jar, she'll say the name and Kahrk will appear, killing Carsa instantly. Cast dispel magic if you can, to remove Kahrk's shielding, then attack him with offensive spells and missile and melee weapons. Remember that Kahrk isn't vulnerable to charm or hold person spells, since he's larger than humanoids. Carsa is wearing knave's robes and has a protection from fire scroll, and Kahrk is carrying several gems.
  

  Map of sector 28, the Firewine Bridge sector. Beware of packs of Kobold Commandos in this area.

• Melium, a "master" swordsman waiting in the northeast corner of the sector, will be open to challenge. Killing him in combat will net you 1,200 xp, magic gauntlets (weapon expertise), and a long sword +1. Your companions can join in the battle, and a hold person spell will end the battle before it begins.
