The Monastry

The book shelves in Sb and Nb contain books. Some of them have little bits of information in that might be useful. The maps that are there are out of date, and date back to the previous version of SD.

When you remove all your eq and nod in Mo, if you are a monk, you are taken to a new room and have to defeat another monk, supposedly the same level as you. A good way to win is to get spelled up and bash the other monk as soon as you get in there as he will try to dispel the magic on you.

There do seem to be a lot of ogre mages and jackalweres in the cellars here, so if you find these hard to kill I'd be careful. There is a big hint that they come from a hole in the ground in room Ed but if you walk down into it you come straight back!

If you'd like to make a quick run to this zone, we recommend the following directions, starting at The Common in Shadowdale: 15enene3ne2n.
