<see area 135>
The 5th level commander of this group and
his 3rd level lieutenant dwell here. They
directly serve the priest of the Earth Temple.
They hope to soon recruit sufficient forces
to completely control this dungeon level,
and plan to extend their sway lower. Any
previous losses of troops, human or
humanoid, will have resulted in threats of dire consequences from their
priest, with the result
that they will FIGHT fearlessly.
If they MOVE to investigate battle sounds,
these leaders do not bother the <priests>
to the
north (area 137) unless the danger is obviously
extreme.
