The Sad Sorcerer
  • 1 of 10: Palansour is a very odd bandit cave in that it's not the bandits you'll be fighting. As a matter of fact, you'll be helping them (or at least the one that survived).
  • 2 of 10: Enter the cave through either entrance and make your way to the main cave room where three Scamps and an Ogrim are making meals out of the bandits they've killed.
  • 3 of 10: After killing them off, look up to see a cage door on a ledge way up high.
  • 4 of 10: You'll need to cast the Levitate spell or use a potion or scroll that does the same thing to get up there.
  • 5 of 10: If you're all out of levitating items, then search the cave for Potions of Rising Force.
  • 6 of 10: There are two on a table in a nearby cave room, plus one more on top of the large rock that two skeletons are hanging on.
  • 7 of 10: Before you levitate up to the gate, you might want to get the key that's sitting on a plate in the room with the two hanging skeletons.
  • 8 of 10: Levitate up to the gate and open it with the key.
  • 9 of 10: Talk to the guy behind the gate with at least one Rising Force potion in your inventory to get a list of choices.
  • 10 of 10: He offers you the pitiful clothes the Scamps made him wear, but you shouldn't take them. Not only are they not very valuable, but you get a +1 to your Reputation if you refuse to take them.
