Black Rose

General

• Area: Dragon's Pass
• Status: Neutral
• Mob Alignment: Unknown

Directions

Portal to Lasselaure in Dragon's Pass, making sure everyone is hidden to stop you having lots of painful fights with saurians. Then head n, w, n, e, s, e, n, nw, e, se, ne, 2se, ne, w, u.

Then open carvings and go west into the pyramid, all of which is norecall. The pyramid is a 4x4 square (don't go north from the entry room as the only way to get out of that room is to supplicate a recall). Peek at the inventories of the saurians scattered around the pyramid, one will be carrying a blazing gem eye, this is the key to unlock the way to BR. Once you have it, go to the southwest corner of the pyramid and move north into a room with rubble. Place the eye in the rubble to open up a passage northeast.

Make sure you are all still hidden, then move ne, u, 2s, 2e, 2n, w, s, u. There's no going back from here, the passage back will disappear behind you. Then s, e, n, u to enter Black Rose's lair, which is also the recall room.

Description

Black Rose is the color of ebony, her scales seeming to suck
the very light from the room, reflecting nothing in return.
Her broad head tapers to a long narrow snout and her mouth
is lined with large, razor sharp teeth, the most ominous of
which are the large canines that are capable of piercing the
strongest of magical metal. Her leathery black wings are
folded back along her muscular sides. Her movements are
graceful despite her size and her muscles ripple with each
move. She is clearly one angry dragon!

Notes

When the fight starts, a second Black Rose will appear which uses some nasty gas breath. Her death prog deals about 1000hp worth of damage to a random person so make sure you're all well healed at the end of the fight. To run BR, make sure you have good save vs. breath and bring lots of heals. Although BR's room is tunneled to four, you can flee down to a room which is tunneled to seven and she'll follow you. The piece of black dragon's hide can be made into a black dragonscale hauberk.
