**Bay of Balifor

Find the chain ladder in the sandstone cliffs at the northeastern end of Balifor 
Bay.  Have the tank climb the ladder and the rest of the group do the same.  
Kill the guards, loot the key, and head north into the zone.  Kill/bash Karine.  
She can load ‘a pair of pitch black gloves’ (antigood +int handworn).  Move 1 
room east, get the key from the pantry, move back west and up.  Unlock the 
trapdoor, make sure tank is imm_drain, and send him u,s. Follow quickly (the 
room gets sealed off) and kill/bash the demon and then kill Shi’ar.  Shi’ar can 
load a forcebolt/locate level magebook and a pair of autosneak boots.  Mem up 
and ‘open grate’ to reveal a down exit.  Head down to the bottom and send the 
tank east.  Have your clerics blind the stoneskinned viper and either calm or 
have everyone flee off of it and retarget the Balrog.  Kill it, loot his key, 
and mem full.  Head back down and follow the path to a Warm Cave.  

Master of Maces and his dragon Gruarth is usually a medium-challenge fight for a 
good group, but it can get ugly quick.  The best tactic is to have everyone 
kill/frag dragon (its immune_heat) and bash the master.  The master doesn’t 
usually heal the dragon, but both mobs like to area.  Once dragon dies the fight 
is simple, just kill/bash the master.  The dragon loads various red dragonscale 
pieces whose stats I can’t remember and druid tablets (mass refresh, word of 
recall, fire storm).  The master loads more dragonscale pieces including ‘a red 
dragonscale book’ (nolore +int don’t try to study) and ‘a red dragonscale 
pendant’ (evil only neckworn +heal).  Master also loads ‘a small golden 
prayerbook’ (sunray/healing mist clerical book).
