Ifrit's Cauldron

So, what's the most scary place you can possibly come across I thought to myself this morning. Ifrit's Cauldron would sure have to be the most nasty place you can walk into if you aren't careful.

Ifrit's Cauldron is the name of the lava-filled crated located in the Elshimo Uplands region. The place is mostly inhabited by bombs, bats and wasps in addition to a few wyverns.

Once I had entered I couldn't help but cough. The volcanic gasses that fills the area makes it hard to breath, and there is a lot of steam so it can be hard to see too at times. Anyone thinking that you can just sneak through this place better be careful because of monsters being aggressive to the use of magic.

Finding the coffer here wouldn't be easy, and having no map of the area didn't really make things any easier. I had heard some gossip among the mithran citizens of Kazham that the map of the area has been locked inside a coffer in hope of keeping people outside the area. And you know me, I'm always up for a challange. I think I spent about 10 minutes inside the cauldron before I found the coffer - a little too easy if you ask me - and after a few attempts i managed to pick the lock on the coffer. A shiney new map was mine.

I grinned to myself over my little personal victory when I noticed this beastmaster resting not too far away from me. I ran over to him and tried comforting him. A bomb had blown up on both him and his pet leaving the poor beastmaster at low health. I thought the least I could do was give him a Navarin in hopes of boosting his vitality. A big smile appeared on his face.. it looked like he really appreciated the little gift and we waved farewell to each other as I was warping back to Windurst.
