It is always a good idea to talk to everybody. The following notes give hints on hidden rooms, traps and puzzles.
There is an inn run by Mark whose rooms are rather expensive (15 coins).
The first time she wants some Energetic Herbs, Reward: Invunerability Potion plus 10xp; the second time Toadstools, Reward: Lighning Spray Scroll plus 20xp; third time Greymould, Reward: one level Find Herbs for each member of the party plus 30xp; next time Mandrake, Reward: recipe for Restoration Brew plus 40xp. If you are going to pick up NPCs, it is a good idea to wait until your party is complete before giving her the Greymould and getting Find Herbs, because you cannot learn this skill elsewhere.
When Edlin has told you that Bertraud stole a Platinum Brooch, he will deny that he stole it but is willing to sell it to you.
