Welcome to Ambrosia, the Gargoyle city. It's not Hythloth but we're getting closer! I'm going to burn through this area quickly.




: Who are you?
: To be called Exferlem. To be the leader of the Wingless Master Race. To be stronger than the Winged Oppressors!
: To know that you must be proud to stand now with me. To know this is understandable.
: Can you tell me about Ambrosia?
: To have truly been the drones who built this place of wonder, not the Winged oppressors! To have never recieved credit or thanks for our work.
: To look around and see the firm beams, the solid glass that keeps us safe!
: Why do you fear the Winged?
: To know they are jealous, and to not want others to know that we are better! To be treated as slaves!
: To be thought stupid, and to be told we are not as good as Winged.
: To have seen several Wingless killed by Winged, and to know we will win this civil war! To kill the evil Winged!
: I must be going. Farewell.




: To ask why you have come down here amongst the Gargoyles? To look and marvel at our wonderful dome and superior technology, perhaps?
: Why am I in danger here?
: To know that you are in danger because you are the Avatar. To know that you are the false prophet spoken of in the Book of Prophecy.
: I'm investigating the columns that are causing problems on the surface.
: To know and be happy that we Gargoyles do not suffer from such problems. To have superior technology that keeps us safe and unaffected by such trivial things.
: To be happy that our vast intelligence brought us here to our safe and happy paradise.
: So you have no problems down here?
: To admit that not everything is perfect. To tell you that our Queen Zhah is very upset.
: However, to know that nothing is ever completely perfect, but to come close. To be very proud of my race and our accomplishments.
: Why is your queen angry?
: To see that she is angry because the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom has been taken from the void and cannot be viewed. To also be angry about this.
: To know that the Codex is the holy book of the Gargoyles, not only the humans.
: I am looking for Hythloth. Can you help me?
: To speak to Wislem. To go to his house, but need to fly because Wislem's house is floating.
: To be the only one who knows Hythloth.
: Why do you tell me this?
: To know that you are at risk here. To understand that you did not seek to be the destroyer of a race.

To be wrong.




Next we head up to the warden's room.




: I am the Avatar. I merely seek passage to Hythloth.
: To not fool the wise Voresh! To be the False Prophet! To have come to destroy the Winged master race! To be a traitor, and die!


We butcher him.




Sounds like my kinda guy! Let's free him and mix things up a bit.




We take the holding cell crystal. It's like a key I guess.




Installing it opens the gate.




Gah!

: Who are you?
: To be too young, to not have a name. To not be given a name, because I bad.
: Why do you say you are bad?
: To be killed by the Winged bad ones soon. To have killed a bad one.
: To tell me I bad, because to kill the Winged ones and to kill their workers.
: Why are you killing other gargoyles?
: To kill a worker to fly! To prove that I good! To speak like Winged and to fly with boots! To prove I good and Winged bad!
: You have boots that let you fly?
: To have boots, but not to fit. To have feet too big. To be sad that feet too big.
: To give boots to you! To let you fly! To kill the bad ones!
: I would like to see these boots.
: To kill the flying bad ones! I to kill the ground bad ones! To kill the Winged Gargoyle leaders! To kill also bad Winged Valkadesh!
: To prove I good! To follow me to boots.




: To find body I hide! To have boots, to fly! To go now and get boots. To know that I will kill bad Winged Valkadesh.




Jumping through the wall lands us on the ground, near the edge of the dome.




: I'm a traveler, just passing through.
: Well you sure picked a duced odd place to be travelin'. I mean, this here cave ain't much of a vacation spot, although at least the weather's pretty steady here.
: How did you get down here?
: It's the strangest thing: I ain't never fell asleep at the wheel on any watch before.
: But there I was, tackin' eastward and I started getting real sleepy, like I'd been drugged. Next thing I know, there was this giant column loomin' up ahead of me.
: I threw the wheel hard to port, but couldn't avoid this great blasted whirlpool that came up out of nowhere. I blacked out at some point, and when I came to, here I was.
: How long have you been down here?
: Oh, I figure it's been half a year. Yep, that'll be about right. I'm building me a boat to get outta here, but I need to hurry up and get it finished 'cause my food stores are startin' to run out.
: What are you using to build the boat?
: Rocks.



: Granted, they ain't the best buildin' material for a boat, but you got to make do with what you're given.
: Rocks? You're going to build a boat out of rocks?
: Well, I grant you that it ain't the best material, but there's nothing else down here. Besides, I'm the best shipwright in these parts of the world!
: You don't think that I can build a boat out of rocks?
: Not one that will float, no.
: Well what do you know? You ain't no shipwright! You're startin' to bother me, so just leave me be.




Up ahead we find the Boots of Levitation.

"Power of the Dome". What a ripoff.
