Part 12

An old treasure map: Speak with Wigur in the inn for a hint about treasure. Krobbler will accept help after completing task 'b' and offer a 50/50 deal. Find the bottle in a small cave below the deont place (hidden from above). Read the rhymes:

• 1. Follow the hilt where three swords lie, straight on as the crow flies, to the fourth tomb beneath the harpies' place.

2. Go north from there and click on the tomb called The Unnamed Mercenary around the inner edge.

3. Left on the Valonion's place is a tomb with buttons. Click the bottom one to avoid poison and receive a key and the fourth rhyme.

4. Return to number 1, enter the second tomb, and move the cursor next to the warrior on the sarcophagus head until a 'stone mouth' appears. Click it, endure the poisoning, and get a recipe for Tenobaal arrow. Krobbler will curse and leave.

The shovel: Find a shovel while fighting undead and skeletons in the crypt. Bring it to blacksmith Leadfinger, who will make a broadsword. He mentions an improved shovel for a better weapon, though this may not be in the journal.
