Part 9 - Durlag's Tower Catacombs Level 4

After talking to Durlag, if you wander through the western door you'll pass through a lava room and be forced to turn north, where there's a trap at the entrance to a large room containing sword spiders, astral phase spiders, phase spiders and ettercaps. A stone golem waits in the northeast corner of the room, and he'll ask you a series of questions: who the eldest son of Durlag is (answer: Kiel); the last name of Durlag (answer: trollkiller); the second name of Durlag's father, Bolher (answer: thunderaxe); mother of the clan (answer: Islanne). After answering the questions correctly, you'll be transported to a room with stone golems, where the one to the northeast will ask you a question about Durlag's pain. The answer can be found by talking to the other golems (answer: west, south, east, north). There's a trapped exit in the eastern corner of the room, which lead to a corridor and a room where you have to insert the bone wardstone into a machine to disable rune traps in the room to the east.

The last level of Durlag's Tower is huge, but easier to explore than some of the previous levels. The demonknight's lair is to the east.

In the northern portion of the room with the rune carpet, you'll be transferred to another room with stone golems, who will ask you to trace the fear of Durlag (answer: it began with Durlag and his need for a home...). Don't walk across the rune carpet - either turn off the traps by getting the bone rune in the room north of this one, or just go around the side of the rune carpet. There are two trapped chests in this room that collectively contain the following magic items: mace +2: 'Krotan's Skullcrusher, leather armor +3 and a large shield +2.

Down the corridor east of Durlag's phantom, there is a secret door that leads to some slime-filled natural caverns, which are occupied by some greater ghouls, crypt crawlers and the occasional ghast. Don't step in the slime or you'll take damage. In the containers in the room you can find the following items: potion of master thievery, antidote, healing, oil of speed, fire-giant strength, frost-giant strength, freedom, arrows +1, arrows of fire, bullets +2, bullets +2, bolts of biting, darts of wounding, wand of lightning, wand of monster summoning, and a wand of fire. You can find scrolls of stinking cloud, resist fear, know alignment, invisibility and web on the ghouls.
