Exits

1. Exit to the Dungeons beneath Caed Nua.
2. Stairs between Level 1 and Level 2.
3. Ladder up to Caed Nua.
4. Stairs down to Level 3.
5. Pit. When you enter the room with the pit, you’ll discover several Xaurips preparing for a ritual, and they’ll all attack you. To make the battle easier, you should immediately retreat. Chances are, only a few Xaurips will chase you, and you’ll be able to break the fight into two (or more) parts. Afterwards, you’ll find there are three ways you can use the pit: you can jump into it, you can use a Rope and Grappling Hook, or you can use Athletics 3. Regardless, the pit will take you on a one-way trip down to Level 5.
6. World exit.
