Notes: 
   
   *  Read the descriptions and you might find a nice reward.
   *  From first level, to go down type "hole".
   *  To go from second level to first, type "out".

   *  In the tree, something glitters amongst the leaves.
(01:35) Full tells you 'Shopkeeper evaluates the value of your items.'
(01:35) Full tells you '826  a ruby cape'
(01:35) Full tells you '912  an emerald amulet'
(01:35) Full tells you '639  sapphire gauntlets'
(01:37) Full tells you 'the cape is from the ruby drake to the east, the 
gauntlets are fromthe sapphire drake to the w, and the amulet is from the 
blocker emerald drake 1 u from the climb oak

   *  There is also an area quest.  You have to find the three 
      items that Nicodemus wants (pipe, tobacco, and tinder box).
      Once you give him all three items, he will give you a scroll.  
      He gave me a scroll of regen, and I only did the area quest 
      once, so not sure if the scroll is different spell each time 
      you do it.  Queen has one of the items, another is with an 
      aggro guardian ant, and the last item is hidden (its the 
      hard one to find).

      Here's the quest info:
      
      Quest: The ant hill
      
      Nicodemus the old Satyr needs your help. He is a retired 
      illusionist who nowadays spends most of his time studying 
      insects (especially ants) and smoking his pipe. But now the 
      ants have done a trick to him and stolen few of his items. 
      Maybe some younger adventurers could help him, since Nicodemus 
      himself is getting too old to search the items? The old satyr 
      spends most of his time by a large ant hill, on an island 
      somewhere west from the southern city of Lorenchia. You can 
      meet him there and see if he still needs your help.


  *  In the north, "dive pool" for extra rooms.
