Don't attack the wasp near the start of the level. He calls all his buddies, and you can't kill all of them no matter how hard you try.

There is some good stuff hiding down a hole.

You can't kill the ettin. Try 'silence' to keep from waking him up.

Most rock falls can be cleared, but not all of them.

Aquila's orb is on this level.

There is a manna circle, runestaff, and several runes here.

There's another NPC dwarf here.
