---The Plot---
**************

Your party has been hired to help with an archaeological dig in one of the lower caves in Avernum. Normally, you would dismiss such a job on the grounds that it's too far out of your expertise, but your employers paid well. 

(When you're finished, don't forget to rate this scenario at the Lyceum!)

---Q&A--- (spoilers)
********************

Q: At the beginning, where am I supposed to go? The exits are all blocked!
A: Not all of them. Check the southwest corner of the cave.

Q: I can't beat the dark mist clouds.
A: They are very hard to defeat with just melee, so try a good blast of magic.

Q: How do I get back out? The tunnel was blocked by mist.
A: Keep going forward.

Q: The voice blocked the slope down to the next level. Where do I go next?
A: Look for some small stalagmites along the west side of the passage. The slope down may be a little hard to see.

Q: The voice told me to open the door. What door?
A: There's a chunk of wall that looks different from the rest of the cave wall. Walk up to that.

Q: Elrilok is gone. What now?
A: Get out, of course! There's a passage to the south of the door to Elrilok's chamber.
