Lair of the Ice Witch

Sunken in the frozen tundra on north Avros, the Lair of the Ice Witch is a curious occurrence - entirely NPK, this area can only be visited by players of the same class at one given time. However, this dungeon is perilous for all adventurers, as the various frozen wanderers and animated inanimate objects attest. Set up in levels, a brief investigation should lead you down several levels to the ice witch.

She is one of the Gorgons, cursed with the ability to turn mortals to stone with a glance and bound to wander the icy caverns alone. Her gaze can stone curse, and she is an adept witch as well. As if that were not enough, she can sprout offspring which are often immune to one or more types of damage. The casual adventurer has no business here - venture only into the Gorgon's lair if you are looking for a fight!
