The Incandescent Jewel Quest
(Revised May 2, 2023)

PURPOSE:	To obtain the Incandescent Jewel. Sometimes this generates a Bag
			of Holding, which allows one to carry many coins, jewels and gems
			without being slowed.
LOCATION:	Crooked Reed and Crooked Reed Under.
DIFFICULTY:	Very tough. It is not recommended that the adventurer travel alone.
COMMENTS:	You must have a Mirrored Shield or a Mirror. This a PvP area; take
			care to avoid battles when evil players are near. 

Be aware: These directions were initially created by FatherMatt, the Lord
Chancellor for Servants of Mystery, for oNWN. I've since updated them to be
accurate for FW, but sometimes the tips for fights may not be accurate.

1.	From 9,11 in Crooked Reed, prep for battle. Cloud Kill, Enlarge, Strength
	and Haste are recommended. 
2.	Go south to 9,12. This places you immediately in battle with Widow Makers
	and an Ice Worm. It is not possible to flee. Cloud Kill works well on the
	Widow Makers; since they can cast, get them first. Ice Worms are immune to
	most spells; you will probably have to beat this one to death.
3.	Afterwards, you will be teleported to 15,10 in Crooked Reed Under. Work
	your way south and way west to 5,13.
4.	Go through the door to the west of 5,13. (Note: the following battles do
	not always seem to happen.)
5.	Follow around the bend to 0,13. Prep here. The fight at 0,14 is Caped
	Medusae and Pyro Snakes.
6.	Prep again at 5,14. The next battle is at 6,14: Green Hags and Undead
	Dragons.
7.	After you pass east through the door from 11,14 (still heading east), free
	the Bronze Dragon when the option is given to you. (The bronze dragon may
	later help you in the battle with the Gazers!) After freeing the Bronze
	Dragon, you will then be teleported to 15,13.
8.	Prep at 5,10. Go south through the secret door to 5,11. The battle here is
	with Margoyles and Evil Clerics. Try to cast Hold on the Clerics first. If
	you are asked what to do with the Effreti in the bottle, elect to put it
	back. Otherwise they will fight against you in the upcoming Gazer battle!
9.	Work your way west to 0,10 and go north. Head east and travel to 11,9. Prep
	here for the final battle. Fire Shield, Enlarge, Haste, and Strength will
	be helpful.
10.	There are two Gazers and some fighters at 12,9. If you have done everything
	correctly, the bronze dragon may appear and help you fight against the
	Gazers and Effreti won't.
11.	Once the battle is over, you are given a treasure of an Incandescent Jewel,
	then teleported back to the surface. Be sure to ready the Jewel. Take the
	jewel to Father Bart, who will give you an item in return.
