The level is a town with a river of lava, a fountain, and six shops in the positions shown above.

Scattered around the level are twenty-four fire traps, three boulders, a hostile tourist, two peaceful djinni, thirteen hostile djinni, thirten hostile efreet, a peaceful fire elemental, eight hostile fire elementals, a hostile fusion elemental, a fire vortex, a peaceful hell hound pup, three hostile phoenixes, and ten hostile salamanders.

The magic portal is somewhere on the left half of the level.[2]

Extraplanar merchant

Shops in the City of Brass are run by extraplanar merchants.[3] They have a chance of being generated with a katana, a potion of full healing, a potion of hallucination and a wand of speed monster.[4] Compared to regular shopkeepers, extraplanar merchants have a higher level, stronger attacks, and similar behaviour.

Strategy

You may need to enter or leave a shop on this level. You could bring a mummy wrapping so that you can enter and leave even if permanently invisible. Alternatively, you can bring a pet strong enough to kill the merchants if they get in your way.
