	2. Follow the Elder when he prompts you to be taken deeper into Shunned world. He will give you a warning not to kill any of the villagers; if you do, you are dragged out and warned about how you screwed up, but he will give you a second chance in exchange for a pyrolisk heart. No real harm seems to be done though. Still, best not to kill any villagers to not get your group fragmented. Have your rogues turn off their stab triggers to be safe.		2.

	3. The goal of this section is to get a key. It is carried by a completely invisible (no glowing red eyes) stabber, [[a killer]]. Killing any killer will drop a key. Note that the killer is NOT carrying the key in his inventory. When you see the message "The light catches on a silvery speck," that killer has spawned the key and it is on the ground. Pick it up!		3. The goal of this section is to get a key. It is carried by a completely invisible (no glowing red eyes) stabber, [[a killer]]. Killing any killer will drop a key.

 . Mines are generally "U" shaped with you entering the mines the upper right side. Head south and west til you see Raskartan and a couple of other mobs in the way. Not a hard room but best to send in a tank and have a backup tank in the wings for this room. (btw if you avoid all the miners actively mining, not the ones just wandering looking for a place to mine you won't set off any of the alarms.)
-. Entrance to the spire is just a bit north west of the large room you had to get by. Unlock the up, up and sleep before proceeding if necessary.

To make matters worse, there are 4-6 of these mobs, and only one of them carries the key.  The best way to find the killers is to have a Psi/Mnd with danger sense.  If their scan reveals an empty room with !!!DANGER!!!, then there is a killer there (Danger scan is also an option, but it is laggy and rather irritating to wait 8 or so seconds every room). Send a tank and have them area (since stabs will kill your casters), then pray that that particular killer has the key.  The killer with the key spawns ws3w from where the Elder takes you, but it is not sentinel, and can walk wherever it feels like.  The area loads on reboot, so unfortunately, by the time you get here, the killer with the key is going to have wandered off.

 . Make your way north-ish until you find a locked north.  North is the gear room.  The safest place to regen is 1e from this room.  Don't unlock the door yet!
-. Once regen'd, go 1w to reach the door again.  If there are any mobs in the room, wait for them to move/die before you attempt to unlock the door.  This run suffers the same problem as Katar where the key has 1-2 uses and it can break before opening the door if you're unlucky.  If it breaks on this run, you should probably just punch a wall and kill your group because you're going to have to go through the wonder that is random stabber hunting again.

 . The gear room is north.  It has 7 mobs; a sorcerer, a shadows, and 5 bodyguards.  Spells to watch out for here are demonfire, dread (can really screw you up if your lead tank gets dreaded), and migraine.  The gear room isn't that bad (no "room goes no-spell in 4-5 rounds) overall.
