The second level of the dungeon was one of the places where experiments were conducted. In the far Southeast corner of the level, a small temple, of sorts, can be found. Inside this area is a portal that leads to the land of Leng. Near the portal room is a grand door that will lead straight to the third level of the dungeon. Also on this level, hidden behind a secret door, is the Shrine of Bones. At this shrine, a person may attempt to summon an ancestor to obtain any gifts of experience or weapons that the ancestor is willing to impart. Finally, within the Shrine of Bones, is the secret passage that leads to a climb-up to the Trog's lair. In the Southwest corner of the level, behind a secret door, is the lower level of the Thieves Guild. Oswulf, the Thief weapon trainer, keeps his facility here, and it is from this level that access to both the first and second levels of dungeon is accessed. The inhabitants on this level are slightly stronger than those found on the first level. There are fewer Kobolds but many more Goblins and Orcs. Some are capable of casting FIREBALL or WEB, so caution should be taken when first entering this level. In addition, an occasional Gargoyle, some Hobgoblins, or a Wraith may be found, though those are mostly near the temple area that connects with the third level. Skeletons still abound, Wights are slightly more numerous, and the Trolls are tougher (and may sometimes be found as a group).
