[edit] Zone 2: Sinkhole Great Hall

Sinkhall Great hall can by accessed by two doors. The lower level of the zone can be reached from door C. The upper area is accessible through door D, and from there the player can simply fall down into the lower area. The boss level chest can be reached by crossing the deep chasm running across the zone. The fall is always lethal and the planks are rotten plank traps that will break should the player attempt to use them; however, the gap can be easily jumped even by a player with low acrobatics. The bandit near the boss level chest will always attempt to use the rotten planks, which is a simple way to get rid of him or her.
