    - LEVEL THREE (AR 3003)

       N    E
        \  /      Ooh, Isometric!

        /  \
       W    S

      Our informer on this level is a crazy elf named Yakman.  When you talk to
      him he becomes convinced that you are some demonic illusion out to kill
      him, causing him to run away.  Follow him through the portal (x 1350
      y 1100) and try talking to him again.

      (AR 3011)

      There is a pile of stuff (x 615 y 630) in the middle of the room:

        Bard's Gloves (Cespenar can upgrade)

      There is more treasure up in his tent (x 860 y 360, TRAPPED):

        Madman's Journal (a Clue!)
        Diamond
        Long Sword (you may want to take this... seriously)
        Scepter of Radiance (you definitely need to take this)
        other treasures...

      Once you're done looting, talk to Yakman.  You need someone with 16 or
      more Charisma, or an Elf to get him to trust that you aren't an
      illusionary demon.  Ask all the questions you can, about the Demons,
      why they fight each other, the level, the way out, the rod and its
      gems, etc.  Next tell him he needs some sleep, to learn that he never
      sleeps.  Offer to heal him, and the conversation ends. (the character
      who spoke to him MUST be a cleric for this offer to come up)

      Cast Heal on him and he is back to normal... although you might prefer
      the insane version (he's quite arrogant).  This gets you 5,000 quest
      experience points.  With that he exits the Watcher's Keep to find out if
      he can restore his old life.

      Enter the top portal (x 380 y 350) to return to the previous area (the
      other portal takes you back to the beginning).

        Note:  Resting anywhere in this maze will get you attacked by Succubi
               (er...), Glabrezu or other types of demons, which makes this a
               great place to get experience, as they give between 6000 exp and
               24,000 exp each. (Later you fight devils, but they're not as
               much fun)

      (AR 3003)

      Head into the East Portal.

      (AR 3008)

      There will be various demons fighting amongst themselves here.  They
      mention the Blood War (see: Planescape: Torment).  Kill the demons here.
      (pretty easy to do since they're fighting each other)

      Have someone of a lawful good alignment click on the Pillar to get: (evil
      people get Horridly Wilted)

        Purifier +4 (Bastard Sword, Upgradeable by Cespenar)

      Go "east" again (x 1070 y 150).

      (AR 3012)

      Here you are confronted by a Tanar'ri.  If you are evil, you can side
      with it.  It will want you to kill its enemy Ka'rashur.  If you are Good
      you will have no choice but to kill it.  From its body, take the Scepter
      Gem.

        Note:  When you return with the Heart of Ka'rashur he gives you the
               mighty Thieves Hood (useless until Cespenar upgrades it). This is
               the ONLY way to get this item, he won't have it on him if you
               kill him.

      There is a trapped alcove (x 650 y 320) with some treasure.

      Head on down "south" to the portal at (x 880 y 720).

      (AR 3004)

      This is a "no magic" zone.  Kill off the demons in the area.  Also there
      are traps on the ground where the 4 hallways meet the center room. You'll
      have to pass one to fight the monsters.

      Go "south" again (x 1350 y 1100).

      (AR 3006)

      Welcome to the Succubus area.  Whee.  They'll attempt to tempt you, but
      don't bother with them.  Of course, if you turn them down, they attack
      you.  Ah well, demons just can't be reasoned with, I guess.

      Head through the south gate.

      (AR 3013)

      Here you'll find the Baatezu (the very same ones that you were asked to
      kill by the Tanar'ri earlier).  If you're evil you can side with them,
      otherwise prepare for a fight.

      Be sure to search the corpses for the second Scepter Gem.

      There is a small container (TRAPPED, x 960 y 360) above.  It has some
      minor treasures.

      Again, use the lower portal.

      (AR 3010)

      There are some Glabrezu lurking around here.  Also, if you go back
      through the portals you entered from, you'll get back to the beginning.
      We want to take the "western" portal, so head down and left to (x 150
      y 785).

      (AR 3005)

      We experienced a "no-magic" room earlier, now we have entered a
      "wild-magic" room.  Here, magic just doesn't work as you might expect,
      much like the "wild surge" effect you get if you play as a Wild Mage.

      There are some Tieflings in here, but they aren't important.

      Here's a twist, re-enter the portal you just came from (the "north"
      portal).

      (AR 3007)

      There's a Cambion in here, but you don't have to deal with him.  If you
      do fight him, he'll summon several demon knights to help out.

      Again, like the last area, re-enter the portal you entered from (the
      "north" portal).

      (AR 3014)

      Right out of the portal are some really deadly traps.  Try to disarm them
      before engaging in battle.

      Here you must fight a Demon Wraith and his armies of the undead.  Kill
      him.

      There are lots of minor treasures in here.  There is also a really
      good item as well:

        (x 340 y 640) - White Dragon Scales (Cespenar can make armor of these)

      Again, take the portal you came out of (the "north" portal).

      (AR 3015, the "Exit")

      This is more or less where you would have been taken if you got abducted
      by a Succubus.

      Just for arriving here, you get 10,000 quest experience.

      When you first appear here, you'll find Aesgareth confronting you.  He's
      not from around here.  He also has the necessary Scepter Gem in order
      for you to move to the next level.  That is not of the moment.  Be civil
      to him, but don't reveal that you have a possible way out.  He wants to
      play cards with you, the stakes being the Scepter (essentially).  Agree
      to it.  The conversation ends so you can "prepare."

        Note:  Sounds like your cue to SAVE THE GAME.  If you lose the game,
               reload.  After winning, save it again.

               Also... You can pick-pocket Aesgarth for the deck of many
               things during the "Let me think about it" time. Your pick-
               pocketing skill should be at least 150+ though. (Xander77)

      Talk to him again.  The game involves attempting to survive whatever the
      Deck of Many Things hurls at you.  The stakes are, for him the Scepter
      Gem, a Wish Scroll or a Spectral Brand, and you get to pick:

          Note:  The Spectral Brand (Long Sword +4) is upgradeable by Cespenar.

        The Way Out (The Vigil Stone)... wager this!
        Experience
        Vitality

          Note:  If you get the strength card and lose your Strength, use a
                 Remove Curse spell to dispel it. (thanks to Doug Scheurich)

                 In general, Remove Curse will dispel the negative effects,
                 should you get one.

      You win by picking the "higher" card, which usually means the "worse"
      card!  Winning a game is worth 25,000 quest experience.  If you win the
      first two games (for the Spectral Brand and Wish scroll), talk to him
      again and get an instant 20,000 quest experience.

      Try to get the Spectral Brand if you can.  Even if you lose the draw,
      Aesgareth will return the Vigil Stone to you (so you don't lose anything)
      and even give you the Scepter Gem to boot!  What a nice demon.

      For completing this you get 25,000 quest experience.

        Note:  The maximum experience playing the game is 95,000 quest
               experience.  Remember quest experience is NOT divided among
               the party, everyone gets that exact amount. (when you kill a
               1000 exp monster, on the other hand, it is divided amongst
               everyone in the party)

        Alternatively:  You could be hostile and attack him.

                        Aesgareth - 21,000 experience
                                    Deck of Many Things
                                    Scepter Gem
                        Tiefling  - 14,000 experience
                        Tiefling (2) - 18,000 experience
                        Tiefling  - 16,000 experience
                        Fell Cat (2) - 9,000 experience

                        As well as many small treasures...

                        Total experience 105,000. (divided among your party,
                        so if you have 6 people, each person gets 17,500 exp)

                        Also, it is possible to win the first two games, then
                        lose the last game, and fight him then.  You still get
                        less Exp for killing him than letting him go.

        The Deck of Many Things (if you killed Aesgareth and got it):

          Balance         Deck vanishes

      Time to get out of this maze.  Before leaving this level, prepare for a
      battle with Mind Flayers.  Cast some protective magics on sensitive
      players, Haste, etc.  Enter the right portal.
