Temple in the Deep is the sixth scenario in The Rise of Wesnoth campaign.

Background

While fleeing from an orcish invasion, Stormvale's refugees had journeyed into the Oldwood Forest, home of a number of woses, led by Elilmaldur-Rithrandil, under attack from the orcs. The refugees' leader, Prince Haldric, helped to drive out the orcs, killing the two warlords. Elilmaldur-Rithrandil was unable to accompany the refugees on their journey, but he did offer to open the catacombs below a temple nearby, wherein Haldric could defeat the Lich-Lord Lenvan and steal the Ruby of Fire.

Scenario

Prince Haldric faces the Lich-Lord Lenvan.

Victory:	Defeat the Lich-Lord Retrieve the Fire Ruby (with Prince Haldric)
Defeat:	Death of Prince Haldric Turns run out
Gold carryover:	Early finish bonus. 40% of gold carried over to the next scenario.

Haldric entered the catacombs, hearing Lenvan call out with delight that the spell binding him inside the catacombs had been lifted. Haldric led his men over a pool, inhabited by at least one tentacled monster, and faced Lenvan's undead forces. Haldric managed to slay Lenvan and retrieve the Ruby of Fire, before returning to the surface.

Notes

1. ^{^} The Wesfolk only joined Haldric if he chose to spare the Wesfolk leader's life.
