3 of 6: This will start a fight with the hermit, who's a very powerful mage with a *lot* of hit points.
4 of 6: Quickly thrash his two summoned demons, then focus everyone's attacks on him until he goes down.
5 of 6: After he does, search him for magic items.
6 of 6: NOTE: If you trade for the acorn, you can then reach into the tree stump to get the Golden Ring (+1 constitution) and a combat with the hermit.
