View source for Freed the old wizard from his glass prison!

From the bottom of a stone staircase in [[the False Temple]] go {{icode|north;west;south}} to enter the library, in here, search until you find the secret entrance and then type {{icode|open bookcase}}. Go south into a hidden chamber.  In this room you will notice a large glass case, examine it by typing {{icode|look case}}

{{MUDdisplay|
This glass case has been crafted into the shape of a coffin. Looking
within the case, you notice what looks to be an old man in some kind of
trance. He appears to be mumbling something, but his beard hides his lips
and no sound can be heard through the case. The only other item inside
the gla]ss case is a brightly glowing black staff. It is nearly as long as
the old man is tall, and lies beside him to his right. There has to be
something that can break this glass, maybe you can find something in one
of the other chambers in this strange temple.

This is where the old wizard is trapped, since you don't have anything to break the glass coffin yet you will need to explore the temple further.  Head north killing any black skinned kobolds on the way.  Then go two west over the acid pool trap, careful not to fall in..  Follow the long hallway north and then around to the east into and out of the great hall, exiting the hall will trigger an alarm alerting guards to your present.  Once pass the alarm head east down the stone corridor to the end and into a small laboratory triggering another alarm..There is a secret panel in the laboratory off to the west, from there go{{icode|south;east}}to enter a small forge, you will see a strange black mallet on the floor, pick it up, this is what you need to smash the glass case.  Go all the way back to where the wizard is trapped and type {{icode|use mallet case}} to break the coffin and complete the quest.  Two items will load on the ground a glowing black staff and a note.
type {{icode|look note}} this is a clue to get passed the crushing walls.
