Dead Woods Mausoleum

The «Dead Woods Mausoleum» was a that existed on the 5th Floor of  in. It was located within «The Dead Woods» which themselves where located outside the «Town of Mananarena».

Background
The dungeon was an underground mausoleum dating back to before the «Great Separation» and was seemingly built by the Dwarves. Most of the graves where laid into niches along the walls but these had been broken open and the contents disturbed, which gave rise to its undead inhabitants.

Layout
Like most of the locations on the 5th Floor the «Deep Woods Mausoleum» was a crumbling ruin; the splendor of its past long since vanished, its purpose corrupted in the intervening years by grave-robbers and other undesirables. The dungeon comprised four floors.

The initial floor was just beneath ground-level and featured a long open hallway with adjoining chambers, all of which ended in dead-ends. The second and third floors where labyrinthine in nature, with numerous dead-ends leading to treasure chests, and a heightened difficulty-curve in terms of monster levels and stats. The fourth and final floor comprised the bottom-most burial chamber and this was where the dungeon boss resided.

Defeating the boss revealed a secret passage leading back to one of the adjoining rooms near the entrance, allowing for a quick exit from the dungeon.

Known monsters
The primary monsters featured throughout the dungeon where undead. Skeletons armed with various armaments and lumbering corpses who attacked with clawed hands made up the vast majority of the dungeons inhabitants. The mobs included:


 * «Skeletal Swordsman».
 * «Skeletal Lancer».
 * «Shambling Corpse».
 * «Clawed Corpse».
 * «Angry Wraith»

Dungeon Boss

 * «Armored Revenant».
