Description
The walls of the maze cannot be climbed, and a grappling hook would slide.
Upon entering the surface of the maze, one of two red dragons will come in 2-24 rounds: AC-1, HD10, 12, hp 48, 72, At 2 claws/1 bite, D1-8/1-8/4-32 or fire (hp), save F10, F12, C.
The first dragon has the spells charm person, sleep (2), ESP, invisibility, mirror image, hold person, protection from normal missiles, and haste. It also has a scroll of protection from normal missiles, and a scroll of wall of fire.
The second dragon has the spells charm person, sleep, detect magic, web, phantasmal force, detect invisible, dispel magic, and hold person (2). It also has a scroll of wizard eye.
While in the maze, the party will periodically hear a low moaning, a shrill whine, a faint thumping, or a faint shuffling coming from the walls.
Every 600 feet, one person may be polymorphed if he doesn’t save vs. spells. They will be completely, except for thinking, changed. All equipment that will not fit their new form will disappear, to return 2-12 turns later when the person returns to normal. Creatures:
1. white ape
2. tiger beetle
3. boar, wild
4. carrion crawler
5. doppleganger

At the center of the spiral is a 14th level neutral magic user. He will probably let them go in exchange for something embarrassing*: AC8 (6 hand-to-hand), MU14, hp 29, At dagger or wand of paralysis or spell, D1-4 or effect, N. He wears a ring+1 and a displacer cloak, so saves get +1 and spell/wand/stone an extra +2, and hand-to-hand attacks are at a -2 to hit. He also has a helm of fire resistance, a potion of healing, a scroll of protection from elementals, a wand of paralysis (7 charges), and a wand of metal detection. His spells are: ventriloquism, charm person, shield, floating disc, detect invisible, invisibility, mirror image, phantasmal force, fly, hold person, clairvoyance, lightning bolt, polymorph others, remove curse, dimension door, confusion, teleport, transmute rock to mud, feeblemind, control weather, geas, and reincarnation. He is also protected by the two dragons.
