Stepping foot into the first level of the tower may very well leave your thief smiling softly to themselves for this is a place full of long and very dark shadows and it will become useful for your party to have someone who can move about undetected. Of course, there is the mage with his invisibility, but a good thief can do it all in such situations, especially detect hidden traps under all of the rubble that is strewn across the towers floor.
Here you will be introduced to Shadowed Orc Grunts, Archers, Shamans as well as Goblin Grunts, Warriors and Archers. Throw in a few Shadowed Ogres and Worgs from forgotten battles long ago and you have yourself some good battles on the way. I found the Goblin Archers pretty tough and don't let the name "Goblin" fool you either for they strike true with their bow and arrows, so get close and get there quick. As mentioned above, shadows lurk around every corner and where light is not, danger surely is but beware for walking into a room full of foul beasts will suddenly make their Shadowed forms alert and all those in viewing range will begin to move to the party who is waiting for your thief to return. Be careful when exploring because one minute it'll be you and the dark shadows while the next your party is surrounded by battling beasts wanting your very blood!
As many of the tower levels, it is occupied by more than one flight of stairs, either going up or down depending where you are. I suggest if you are having trouble piecing the tower together, to check the Online Maps I have created and marked in detail so you are able to move around freely. The Online Maps are broken down by levels 1 to 8, and from level 5 and up, I have marked each separate tower with a letter which matches the corresponding stairway from level 4. I hope it isn't difficult for you to follow, but I placed all the tower levels from level 5 and above as the stairs are situated on level 4 and also put them on the same map.
With that in mind, it is this very level that you will also find the 1ST PART TO THE ASTROLABE which you will need to acquire to have Larrel help you unlock the power of the Heartstone Gem. Even if you have not been told of this quest, keep these parts on you because when you do meet up with Larrel's helping hand who is looking for the parts to complete the Astrolabe, you will already have some or all of them on you. This part you find on level 1 is the first part of four and can only be gotten by going down the stairs from Level 3. See the Online Map of The Severed Hand for more details. There are also two stairs going up to level 2 as well as the entrance in which you came through. Search this level out fully and kill everything you come across to lay the foul beasts to a final rest. They've been haunting this place far too long.
