Walkthrough
All you'll need to do on this level of the Dreadlord's castle is make your way up to
Level 2 (Exit D). However, while you're exploring, you'll randomly run into Sargatha, the Dreadlord's castellan. She'll hand you a scroll and ask you to sign it. If you comply, then you'll be teleported to a cell on
Dungeon Level 10. If you read the scroll first, then it will explode, causing 10-15 points of damage to your party, and Sargatha's minions (Cockatrices, Medusae, and Storm Giants) will attack you. Anything else you do will start the battle immediately.
1 - Entrance
The first time you enter the castle, if you have Vala with you, then she'll comment that the castle looks different than it did before. You'll record this observation as Journal Entry 29.
2 - Alcoves
If you wait at an alcove (#2), then the wall will rotate, moving you to the other side (#2a). To get the wall to rotate you back to where you started from, you'll need to pull a nearby lever (#3) first.
