Deeper Fibula Quest
Step 1 Buy key 3940 in Fibula
Fibula is the village south-west of Thais, and the Fibula Dungeon below it is closed by a door that needs key 3940. The magistrate Dermot sells this wooden key for 2000 gold at 32165,32437, behind a counter in the house right next to the village well - say key and yes. Simon the Beggar at 32186,32468, south of the village, sells the same key for 800 gold in total: say help and answer yes 3 times, paying 100, 500 and 200 gold. Keep the key until you are back on the surface - that door is the only way between the well and the rest of the dungeon, in both directions, and it is locked again after every server restart. No rope or shovel is needed, but bring Destroy Field runes and at least 213 oz of free capacity for the rewards.
Step 2 Down the well to the Treasure room
Use the draw well at 32171,32439 in Fibula: you appear on a ladder at 32172,32439 (floor 8), which takes you back up. Follow the cave south, around its southern end where 3 poison spiders live, and north again to the locked door at 32190,32432; open it with key 3940 and take the stairs at 32190,32429 down. On floor 9 go east through the door at 32195,32428 and follow the corridor to the sign "Treasure" at 32210,32428, where it turns south into a small room. The chest at its far end, 32210,32439, is empty, and the hole at 32210,32437 in front of it drops you to floor 10 - there is no way back up through it.
Step 3 Pass the level 50 gate - last chance to turn back
The hole leaves you in a small room with 2 ways north. Behind the door at 32208,32435 the magic forcefield at 32208,32433 (sign "Last chance to go back.") takes you to 32167,32438 on floor 9, a short walk from the stairs you came down. The gate of expertise at 32212,32435 opens only for characters of level 50 or higher and closes behind you; the forcefield behind it at 32212,32433 ("The way deeper in the unknown.") takes you to 32281,32389 on floor 10. From there the only way out leads through a door that needs key 3980 and through the whole dragon cave, so enter with enough supplies.
Step 4 Fetch key 3980 behind the fields
2 minotaur guards and 2 minotaur archers stand in the corridor leading west from the arrival room. Follow it west past the drawbridge at 32261,32391: beyond it you have to cross at least 9 fire fields and 4 energy fields that never burn out - each fire field hits for 20 and sets you burning, each energy field hits for 30, and Destroy Field runes remove them. It ends in a small cave held by 3 minotaur mages. In its west corner a crate stands on a small hole at 32219,32401: move the crate off the hole, then use the hole to find a golden key, key 3980 - once per character. Walk back through the same fields to the drawbridge.
Step 5 Move a barrel and unlock the door
Cross the drawbridge at 32261,32391 south over the lava. The corridor below is blocked by a barrel at each end: 32253,32401 in the west, with a minotaur archer right behind it and then 5 minotaurs and 2 minotaur mages, and 32268,32401 in the east, with 4 minotaurs and 2 minotaur archers behind it. A barrel can be moved only to a square at most 2 squares away from you, so pull it back into the corridor behind you, or smash it with a sword, axe or club - that can take a few tries. Both ways lead to the door at 32277,32420 - unlock it with the golden key. It stays unlocked until someone locks it again with the key or the server restarts.
Step 6 Through the minotaur hall to the dragon cave
Behind the door lies a hall with 22 minotaurs, minotaur guards, minotaur archers and minotaur mages. Leave it through its south-west corner at 32246,32442 and follow the winding passage south past 5 minotaurs and 2 minotaur mages, then east to the narrow corridor leading south into the dragon cave. Its 5 squares from 32278,32464 to 32278,32468 are all fire fields, and at its end 2 dragons and a dragon lord wait. The cave behind it holds 16 dragons and 4 dragon lords in total.
Step 7 Collect the 5 rewards
The rewards lie in corpses, each with its own quest number, so a single character takes all 5: a tower shield in the pile of bones in the north-west corner at 32239,32471, a warrior helmet in the pile of bones next to a heap of debris at 32239,32478, a dwarven ring in the dead human at 32233,32491, an elven amulet in the dead dragon at 32245,32492 - 3 dragon lords stand between the ring and the amulet - and a knight axe in the dead human at 32256,32500 in the south-east. The tower shield and the knight axe lie under fire fields that never burn out, and a corpse under a field cannot be opened. Remove the fire with a Destroy Field rune, or cover it with a new field: a dragon lord's fire bomb or a field rune of your own replaces it, and the new field disappears on its own - an energy field after 100 seconds, a fire field after 7 minutes 30 seconds. The shield weighs 82 oz, the helmet 68 oz and the axe 59 oz; without enough capacity the corpse only tells you the item is too heavy, and you can try again later.
Step 8 Way out
The magic forcefield at 32234,32502, south of the dwarven ring at the end of a narrow passage covered by 3 energy fields from 32234,32499 to 32234,32501, takes you to 32167,32438 on floor 9. Walk east and north through the door at 32186,32432 to the stairs at 32190,32429, go up to floor 8, pass the key door at 32190,32432 again and walk back through the cave to the ladder at 32172,32439, which takes you up next to the well.
