Lopan

Lopan is aimed at Chumps. You can find your way here through the Enchanted Garden off the Forest of Tethir (Misty Green Pool in the Astral Plane). You start in a small forest to the north-east of the zone and Peltor, the elven ranger resides in the Center of the Forest (Ce) with a large grizzly bear. He's level 19 and his big bear will defend him if you attack.

To the west is the shore and you head south into the centre of the town. The town is populated by a wide level of characters from the lowly dock workers (2500 xp each) right up to Delmore Truncate the guildmaster at 50k xp. If you want to explore the zone on your own I'd only suggest that you head over to the Guild and stop reading now, otherwise read on...

At the guild in Delmore's room you find a poster, reading it you'll find a small puzzle to solve: "Old Man McKenzy is reporting some odd sounds coming from under his house. Someone needs to go to his house at the western end of Casino Road and look into it. If it's some kind of monster, as I suspect, the party will have to return anything of value they're carrying for the proper reward. This includes seemingly useless items, required by the guild for further investigation. Delmore Truncate, Guildmaster"

If you head over to the west you'll find McKenzie's house at the end of the street. Below the house is the entrance to a mage's laboratory. The inept mage will attack and three corpses will join in so you can't bash. You hear, in the distance, 'Anyone who steps in the cloud is doomed to die!!' zombies, 1k each. mage 11k. North into the cloud is a DEATH TRAP. Standing in the lab for a while, the lab will change and a doorway will open to the west... Below the lab the Derro are tunnelling away. Find the High Priestess and she has a key made of all the elements. The Derro Machinist is also in that room and there are two guards that will help them out when you attack. The Machinist carries a crystalline key. The Key of the elemtns unlocks the door east of Mysterious Room (My). In the Storage Room open the pile of spare parts and get the key that resembles a spare part. Unlock the dark chest in the room to get the derro's money. The crystalline key unlocks the Guild vaults. In the vault is a portal back to the Common in Shadowdale.

There are two other places of note. A slender brass key equipped by the casino owner unlocks the heavy oaken desk in the Casino Office (Co) and Ghalk's home is a hidden entrance to the west of the plaground. There is a hidden mob in the room. The shady thief is about 8k.
