Notes

Bandits are operating between Fort Saffron and Fort Spire. You can find out that they are getting through a secret passage in Fort Saffron and also who is leading them. Although you rid Avernum of some annoying rogues, nobody seems willing to reward you adaquately.

You can get to Erika by the boat from the Northern Waters as recomended in the Hints Book. I find it easier to go west from Spire and use the Orb of Thralni.

On the Worldmap this cave is refered to simply as "Cavern". When you get in the status line says "Strange Cave". But there is another "Strange Cave" in the Hints Book. I refere to this one as the "Strange Cave (Cavern)" and the other one as the "Weird Cave".
