Naturally, he needed to get to Moria. And he did.
But first he needed a grey robe and a knarled walking stick, because wizards don’t wear leather.
You see nothing special about him.
Gandalf is in excellent condition.
Gandalf is using:
You attempt to peek at the inventory:
a small leather backpack
a small cloth sack
a short knobbly wizards staff..It emits a faint humming sound!
a yellow potion..It glows violet!
a yellow potion..It glows violet!
a knarled walking stick..It glows violet!
a grey robe..It glows violet!
And off we went to Moria:
Gandalf says ‘mellon’
The slab of granite parts down the middle then swings apart slowly.
In Moria, he met it’s residents:
Gandalf looks at Shelob.
An immensely evil spider stands before you, ready to pounce on prey. Her
black hairless body exudes a pale green secretion that has a sulphurous
odour. Long black legs are working with lightning speed to wrap up an
elongated bundle in her sticky threads
from the end of the bundle a pair
order familiar brown boots sticks out.
Shelob is in excellent condition.
You attempt to peek at the inventory:
You can’t see anything.
Gandalf says ‘Make haste, Shadowfax!’
then, after a brisk walk by the patrol and a warg, Smaug:
(Brilliant Red Aura) Smaug, the biggest red dragon in the world, lies curled up around his feet.
Smaug is one of the oldest and biggest dragons in the world. His scales,
once a lustrous golden red, have dulled to a reddish brown. His eyes glint
red through almost closed slits. Smaug is only pretending to sleep!
Smaug is in excellent condition.
Smaug is using:
You attempt to peek at the inventory:
a ruddy scale..It emits a faint humming sound!
Gandalf looks at Smaug.
Scaly!
Gandalf says ‘shhh, do not awake the breathing dragon’
Then we walked near the dwarven citadel in Moria, where Gandalf visited the ghost queen:
(Faint Blue Aura) The ghost of Queen Thoran wails despondently over her lost king.
The ghost of Queen Thoran glows with a bright light!
Gandalf arrives from the south.
<1302hp 424ma 377mv>

The dwarf queen stands eyes glazed with unshed tears, dressed regally in a
cream pearl-encrusted dress. Her long tresses are loose and float on an
invisible breeze and glisten as if under an invisible light. The force of
her depression and anger at the violence against the dwarf nation has made
her shade seem almost solid.
The ghost of Queen Thoran is in excellent condition.
the ghost of Queen Thoran is using:

<1302hp 429ma 379mv>
Gandalf bows before the ghost of Queen Thoran.
The ghost of Queen Thoran wails, making you shiver in your boots.
Gandalf panics, and attempts to flee.
Gandalf leaves east.
Gandalf arrives from the east.

Naturally, that didn’t scare Gandalf. Much.
And we kept swimming through the flooded seams of mithril to Balrog.
You are viciously massacred by a large worm’s bite.

Winds of Flame pour from your hands, killing a large worm instantly.

l balrog
The demonic beast is almost forty foot tall, and its large wings spread out
another sixty foot. The entire length of the manifestation is engulfed in
a roaring inferno of flame and billowing soot, which seeps out from fine
fissures in its black body. As it opens its mouth a deep gut rumbling roar
like an avalanche echoes all around, and huge flames belch forth. In his
right hand he grasps an immense twenty foot sword that glows red from his
heat; strange sigils are etched into the blade.
A huge balrog is in excellent condition.

Settlestone’s Well
This is an extremely energetic section of the dwarven city of
Settlestone. Two bustling streets intersect at the site of a ten foot tall
statue of the famed Krodar Thunderhammer. All four sets of city gates can
be seen from this vantage and hundreds of people walk about nearby. There
is also a large black stone well in the center of the square.
