Detailed Walkthrough

The Cave of Palansour

This strange quest begins and ends in the smugglers' cave of Palansour, south of Ald Velothi. Once inside, instead of smugglers, you'll find an ogrim, a few scamps and a few dead smugglers. Explore the cave further to find the sorcerer Inwold locked in a cell, along with an explanation. The cell is above the main room with the scamps and the large cauldron.

The Sad Sorcerer

Apparently he is to blame for the death of his comrades and wants you to supply him with a rising force potion so that he can escape. In return, he offers to give you the lovely hat and skirt the scamps made him wear. There are a few Levitate potions in the cave itself, so finding one for him shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you refuse to accept both the hat and skirt, you'll receive one point of Reputation.

Notes

• Any grade of Rising Force Potion will do; however, custom-made Levitate potions will not. He will take the cheapest grade you have with one exception - He'll take an Exclusive potion before a Quality potion. Best is to either bring a Bargain potion with you or use one of the Cheap potions found in the cave.

1		I found this poor sorcerer imprisoned by a swarm of scamps. They fed him his companions in a broth. And stripped him and forced him to wear a skirt and hat. He looks very melancholy. He asked me to get him a potion of levitation so he could escape from his high perch. He offered to reward me with the attractive skirt and remarkable hat they made him wear.
