Wait, no; we're taking this dungeon for our own, and good guard beasts can be hard to come by.

Lure drake into water, then trap it in ice

I figure worst case scenario, it dies due to cold weakness. Best case, we get a pet!
Yeah!

An easy solution. I lure the watery beast into the central pool and hold my staff inside. The water freezes, taking the Drake's life.

You are indeed a clever tactician. I wish to see you again, but it seems that time is not now.

And put the skull in a more intimidating position.  It's never too early to make your evil lair more intimidating.

Put the skull over the ice gem to get icy necro powers.

Excellent planning. I place the skull in front of the unhelpful sign. I then use my staff to scratch some more helpful words onto the unhelpful sign. It now reads:

: "Here lies the last person who read this sign."

Oh, goodness. A frustrating water puzzle. I see water flowing from the top of some structrure to the north all the way down to some outlets nearby. Four ground-switches lie in front of me, and one is lit up with a golden hue.

Two ice sculptures of what appear to be foes stare me down, but they don't move because they're just ice. Something's blocking water from flowing through the western tunnel. It looks like I could fit through the passage where it normally runs. How convenient! These passages could provide a quick emergency escape or a flood trap when I'm overlord.

Freeze the water and bypass the silly trap.  We can figure it out when we have expendable minions to do it for us.   Grab the loot bag on the way.

Might want to take care of the statues before you bypass it, they may become animate. Attempt to create footholds on the waterfall at the top there too, there may be something up there.

Well, if they do, we can freeze them even more!

This water is not stagnant like the earlier pool. It resists my attempts to freeze it. I must go through this section the hard way. Oh, how glorious owning such a torturous temple will be!

Surely you can freeze enough of the water leading to the offshoot to block it's flow? Theres a lot less comparative flow there.

If not, well, attempt to push the ice sculpture to the golden button, though why there would be a solution at all to enter a fortress without it being completely nonsensical to anyone except the ones who inhabit the dungeon to thwart intruders is beyond me.
