Telepathy (Su): Shadowlords can communicate telepathically with creatures within 100 feet that speak any language spoken by the shadowlord. Stronghold: The Pit of Despair. Deep under The Mountain of Devil's Tooth, in the north and far away from settled lands, lies the vast and hidden dungeon complex Zatahar Krachan (Zatahar's Labyrinth), also known as the Pit of Despair (though few know of it). Three hidden entrances mid-to-high on the slopes of the mountain lead down trough twisting passages for miles into the granite mountain. The passages are each dangerously trapped and wildly branching, dead ends and hidden pitfalls are everywhere. Long sections of the tunnels are rigged to collapse and boulder traps have been prepared to sweep clean miles of the tunnels. An underground river is put to excellent use and sections of the dungeon can be filled with water with the opening and closing of two hidden doors. Towards the middle of the descent the intruders will be attacked by Shadows, small numbers at first to test their opponents and then scores of them at once. The Shadows will strike from inside the walls of the tunnels or make flyby attacks against their foes, always ending their round safely in full concealment. At irregular intervals towards the center of the mountain there are concealed spaces within the walls of the tunnels, only accessable from further in, from which Dominated slaves can spy on intruders and trigger traps by flipping a switch (most of those traps would be nearly impossible to disarm). Then things get really difficult for intruders. The tunnels, which have been mostly descending for miles upon miles, now begin to ascend. Soon after that the Forbiddance effect kicks in.

The water will then drain off trough small cracks in the stone and the section of the dungeon won't be flooded for long once the flow has been redirected. The traps become ever more brutal, until at last the heart of the dungeon is reached. In several large caverns mushrooms are grown by slaves to feed the living population.

A small temple to a dark and nameless God. More traps, and then the inner sanctum where the Shadowlord Zatahar the Dark Master dwells in lightless halls, splendid in their stark simplicity. 24000gp/2 = 12000gp for components for the Forbiddance spells, 2880 gp to pay an 16th lvl Cleric to cast it. 16 60ft squares = 3'456'000 square feet covered. Pool of Scrying, 7,500 gp Inscriptions of Privacy, 14000 gp (dungeon will be scaled down quite a bit because of money issues, pending the DM's evaluation.) Sum total: 250'000 gp [/QUOTE]
