Selected passages from the searchable transcription. The linked PDF controls if OCR punctuation differs.
Neferon wears gold spectacles and a magic robe (see "Treasure" below). It uses its alter self spell and Deception skill to pass itself off as an old human wizard with a long white beard named Heinrich Stolt. "Heinrich" feigns confusion. If the characters ask him why he attacked, he claims that he was guarding the temple.

The arcanaloth will not, under any circumstances, leave the Amber Temple.
