The Dwarf:
This dwarf doesn't look thrilled to be here, and would likely love to get out of here as quickly as possible- if not for his broken leg, and the army of dragons preventing his egress. His pack full of explorers' tools looks useful, but given the extent of his injuries, he can't hope to use all of them to the degree necessary to get him out by himself. +++ a banged-up dwarf can be asked for help by SAYTOing him: - help with the basilisk: to be informed when the basilisk changes direction. - help with the faerie dragon: to be informed when the faerie dragon changes direction. - help with the dragonstones: to find another somewhere in the Hall. - help with prescience: to find equipment that belonged to a dragontamer. - help with statues: to cause the black dragon statues to return to Vir.

Option 1:
The area is setup in a box. The basilisk will travel clockwise at a speed of roughly 1 second per square. You can track the basilisk to know its location.
You cannot scan or look direction the basilisk. The basilisk will instantly kill you upon entering a room with you, or you entering the room with it.
Sayto dwarf dragonstone. Pick a direction, go southeast, kill a statue. Spells did not work on the statue, but stamina skills did. Fairly quick and easy
to kill. After killing the statue, go back to the dwarf and track basilisk. Keep doing this till you see it go from SE to SW. When it does, go 2 SE and up
into the tower, if the dragonstone is there, take all, go back down and to the center. If it is not there, go down and head west to the next tower. Do not
move so fast you catch up to the basilisk, but do not move so slow that the basilisk catches up to you. Remember the 1 square per second. Faerie dragons are
along this path. They die in 2-3 rounds, but they can paralyze you. Should you become paralyzed, you will die when the basilisk makes its round. If you find
the dragonstone in a corner where the statue is between you and the dwarf, you can move into the statues room and then flee to the dwarf. Now you can fight
the drake with just using the stone right away and beating it. Make sure to summon your toy shaman/soldier, flee and use the cabo and refresh herbs as necessary.
Option 2:
After you get the dragonstone, you can attempt to also get the gear that will make you immune to 4 of his very commonly casted spells. I do not recommend getting
only the gear and skipping the dragonstone, because the drake has a ton of hp, does quite a bit of damage, and you want this fight to end quickly. To get the gear,
as you travel around the square, you will see in the center of a direction another direction available. There are 4 dragons that will drop a chunk of dragon flesh
that can be given to a man behind the dragon on the west side for gear. Using the dragonstone and this gear, you can attempt the boss with what stats you have left,
but beating those 4 dragons will drain your hp/sp/st more.
There are 4 pieces of loot from the side dragons that you can obtain:

Strong and sturdy and able to deflect powerful magic, these bracers are
nothing to sneeze at. Carrying within them a powerful cross-section of the
magic resistance borne by the dragon they used to be a part of, they provide
total resistance to one spell, rather than minor resistance to all magic.
Their utility, of course, is commensurate with how frequently that
particular magic is encountered relative to all the rest, but it's
nonetheless a particularly potent piece of equipment.

The grey dragons are a rare breed, and known to be particularly resistant to
offensive magic. Although the tail is not known to contain great
concentrations of characteristic attributes, this one in particular appears
to have maintained at least some specific resistance to some magic.
