Now you guys are on the right track!

I have camped the bedroom which is about half way to the place where you
need to go from the zone. What is gonna be a big problem for you is the
inevitable trains. It was a big problem for me and I was 30ish. Be real
carefull about songs and drawing unwanted attention to your selves.

Practice zoning (from lguk to uguk) or get a druid to go with u to do evacs
and cast invis to undead (if druids can cast that). Even so some of these
mobs will see thru invis-to-undead. So you will have to go there and see
whats happening and slip in behind a good group who is clearing the path.

But take this to heart - practice swimming & running to the zone as well as
have a druid or wiz friend along who can gate you out. Don't bother bringing
any stuff on you like expensive weps or armor - you wont defeat anything
that attacks you (if u are 26 and under). If you die and cant find your
corpse, petition a GM and hang around. The walls are really weird and
corpses can be real hard to find - I been a lost corpse in there and needed
GM to drag me out. They understand it happens pretty much.

Hmmm, I think there are 2 zones that are near to the bedroom (which is where
you will need to go thru to get in to where the assassin is. One way in is
from upper guk into a hallway tunnel that goes down to a water canal - swim
to the right and thru an underwater passage then surface and you should be
at the bedroom. Hallways from the bedroom lead to where the assassin is (or
where I am told he is - I have not ventured all the way there yet.) So to
zone out you'd need to swim out thru tunnel then up and hit the right
platform (there are more than one) and run up the hallway and make a left
and then up some more to hit the zone. It's hard to do when a train has
been pulled. Been there, died there, got the tee shirt.

Now I looked at a map and see that there maybe another zone kinda nearby.
If you go to where the big crocks (I forget his name) in upper guk is camped
- there is an underwater zone passage nearby. I think that puts you in the
same canal that leads to the bedroom. So you may want to explore coming in
and out through that way instead of the traditional hallway tunnels. I know
that I am going to consider it for my next run to the zone because the
trains usually go towards the hallways after the pullers.

own risk! Your mileage may vary.

Thats a good idea. I'm certain that with either my charm or
my cash,
someone will let me loot the Guise. My main concern though
is not getting
killed while I'm down there. Any suggestions on how a 24
bard can pull this
off?
