I... guess...

I think I would prefer just specifying his spells, instead of mentioning he has all spells, but he can't cast that one spell. It's messy.

A) The Soulless Wizard can cast the following spells: Dispell, Madness, Rust (or whatever)
B) Once a hero enters this room his magic ring will vanish and can't be used anymore. (This is the small 2x3 room) The problem is fixed with much less text.

I updated the quest with the following quest note:

J. Once a hero enters this room read the following:
“The magical ring on your finger sends a painful bolt of pain up through your arm. In a mental flash it is revealed to you that the shadowy figure in the room is the wizard who once created this maze to protect his magical secrets. Having spent his life warping through the dimensions his soul has been shattered and he is now just an empty being of madness” 

The soulless wizard (see stats below)
He can cast the high mage spells. In addition he also negates the power of the magical rings in his room. Heroes can enter and fight him, but they can’t escape! Once he is slain the rings work again.

Read the following: “
With a terrible scream the wizard shatter into thousand pieces of broken mirror! May he finally rest in peace…” 


I updated the downloadable pdf accordingly.

To start getting nit-picky...some of the chests are backwards (the hinges are on the wrong side).
Blood - Good to the last drop

I am always doubtful about the correct position of the chests on the map when I create my own quest.
I checked the official questbooks and noticed they are also in the reverse position. We are not sure they are hinges, that small part is in the centre of the chest and could reresent the plate with the hole where you insert the key.
Anyway, good to see I am not the only one struggling for this

I merged J and K;
I removed the former letter G (that was pointing to a treasure chest between the skeletons... the 5th treasure chest in this quest)
I removed the treasure chest next to the altar (the 4th treasure chest in this quest), so now there are only three of them.
For HQ 25 we have three chests available.


We need to change one thing more:

* The Quest Treasure is "access to a new Spell Group" for the Wizard or the Elf. Do we want to place one of our artifacts here?

Anything more?

I want to ask to Goblin-King if the Soulless Wizard is represented by the chaos warrior icon or by the J letter.
So the Chaos Warrior is a bodyguard or the wizard himself?

I've just had a look at the latest version of this quest. The quest notes state that the Soulless Wizard can cast the High Mage Spells and refers you to his stats below. These list only 4 spells, of which one, Control Mind, isn't a High Mage spell, while Strands of Binding, Wall of Flame and Escape are omitted?

The chaos warrior IS the Soulless Wizard |_P

I wonder why I used that icon... Perhaps the map editor didn't have an icon for a sorcerer? Idunno... :banana:

Ok, I updated the quest map.
Any similarity to living persons is by pure chance.
