Overview

1 – Arrival

You’ve decided to ally yourself with the Vinsaxi and drive the elves from Elerin. Your goal here is to open the other gates around the map so that the Weapon Master’s men can get inside to crush the elven defenses. Although the gates are once again controlled by capstans, they cannot be shot and must be activated by hand. If you’d rather not circle your way around the map, you can proceed directly to area #12 and slay Sindarel to conclude the adventure.

Be careful, though, as the whole city is crawling with elves. You have two Vinsaxi archers helping out at the beginning and more can be recruited, so it shouldn’t be all that difficult to make your way around.


2 – Elf Warriors

A few Elf Warriors guard the main gate. They’re worth either 100 or 200 experience points per party member, depending on their stats.


3 – Elf Druid

This is where you’ll have your first confrontation with an Elf Druid. If you close into melee range, you’ll alert the other elves at area #4.


4 – Elf Warriors and Druids

An Elf Druid, two Elf Warriors, and a couple of Dogs await your party up on this platform.


5 – Elf Warrior

Another Elf Warrior to deal with.


6 – Elf Warrior

Another Elf Warrior to deal with.


7 – Elf Warrior

Yet another Elf Warrior to deal with.


8 – Elf Warrior

Yet another Elf Warrior to deal with.


9 – Capstan

Bring down the Elf Warrior guarding this corner, then use the capstan to raise the gate to the west. Doing so will allow the Vinsaxi just beyond to lend their weapons to your cause.


10 – Elf Warrior

Yet another Elf Warrior to deal with.


11 – Elf Warrior

Yet another Elf Warrior to deal with.


12 – Sindarel

Sindarel is not happy about your betrayal. After a quick bit of hateful dialogue, he attacks along with three Elf Warriors, an Elf Druid, an Elf Wizard, and a Dog. A well-placed Fireball can get this battle started on a good note.

When he falls, the Vinsaxi Weapon Master congratulates you on a job well done and you’ll move on to the “End of Adventure” screen. For your services in eradicating the elves, you’re awarded 22,500 gold pieces.


13 – Elf Warriors

A pair of Elf Warriors await you on this outer platform.


14 – Elf Warrior

Yet another Elf Warrior to deal with.


15 – Elf Warriors and Elf Druid

Two more Elf Warriors and an Elf Druid will join the fray from this platform.


16 – Capstan

Once again, slay the Elf Warrior guarding this corner and then use the capstan to raise the gate to the east. Doing so will allow the Vinsaxi just beyond to lend their weapons to your cause.


17 – Capstan

The final capstan is unguarded, so just activate it and watch as two more Vinsaxi pour into Elerin.
