Temple of Lathander Level 1

The Temple of Lathander has been desecrated. You will need to repair the temple and bring it back to its former glory. Initially there are no enemies on this level but gradually Living Mucks and Shades will appear as you explore.

The Shades have a powerful attack and are 60% resistant to magic but apart from that they’re fairly easy to kill. The Mucks can destroy metal weapons and are immune to acid, lightning and poison. Fire spells do half damage so attack with cold-based spells if possible.
