Go to minos area, then go two south of the mino metallurgist and then “jump chasm".
You’ll fall a bit and take some damage. After a few, a spirit will appear.
to spirit hi
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "Hello, stranger... Did Higroth send you to find me? Has he finally come to his senses?"
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "No, you're probably here by accident... The minotaurs never tire of throwing people into the abyss. If you need help getting out, ask me for help and I can transfer you to the surface."
Ask spir Higroth
You ask the spirit of a sorceress about Higroth.
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "Higroth was my love. But there were some... events... that came between us. I long for the days I spent with Higroth in the book vaults. Higroth was a historian, and together we were able to answer many questions about the ancient city of Mar Jagur. I grew to love him, and wanted him to come with me on my quest to find the ancient lost city, but he was unwilling to leave here. No minotaurs ever really leave here... Their rituals tie them to this place more tightly than any chain ever could."
Ask spir mino
You ask the spirit of a sorceress about the minotaurs and their rituals.
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "The minotaurs are a magical race, created at some point probably by powerful magicians in ancient Mar Jagur. They cannot reproduce in the 'traditional' manner. Instead, they perform a magical rite which is too terrifying for me to relate in full. The rite requires three things..."
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "A woman who is in her menses... The participation of a couple of minotaurs... And access to the stream which runs through these caverns. When the ritual is completed, the woman is, well, gone - but an adolescent minotaur is created. I liken the experience to being born almost as an adult.
The personalities of all the participating minotaurs contribute to the offspring. It is considered a great honor to be invited to participate in one of these rituals. Higroth had long sought this accolade, but it was always denied. I wanted to help... Wanted him to have... But all my plans went terribly, terribly wrong."
The spirit of a sorceress opens her mouth to speak, seems to change her mind.
Ask spir plans
You ask the spirit of a sorceress how her plans went so wrong.
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "I was quite a sorceress in my time. I thought I understood the magical ritual that the minotaurs use to reproduce better than they did. Some of the mechanics I am certain I know better. The minotaurs admit they don't understand everything about the rite, but they are VERY scrupulous about following it exactly - and it has worked for them."
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "I decided that I would use my own blood, my magic, and energy from Higroth to complete the rite myself. I wanted to prove to him that he, and indeed all the minotaurs, were no longer shackled to this place. I wanted to show that the principles which defined their creation ceremony could be applied successfully elsewhere. I wanted them to be free..."
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "However, thats not what happened. While the ritual was mostly successful, Higroth was hurt and betrayed - indeed I had not told him what we endeavored to do that night - and in anger he threw me into the abyss. I'm sure he suspected the worst of me, and in truth I knew it was a desperate action. I had no idea how deeply disturbing my actions were going to be... If I could only find a way to tell him I was trying to help... If I could somehow give him a token of my love... I could really use some assistance with this, if you are willing..."
Tracing her hand along the rock wall, the spirit of a sorceress looks around sullenly.
The spirit of a sorceress floats just off the ground, looking forlorn.
Ask spirit ass
You ask the spirit of a sorceress how you might be of assistance.
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "You can help me see Higroth, and I can explain everything to him. I am now bound spiritually to this abyss, but I thought of a way to get out. If you can procure for me a rose-colored glass globe, I think I can lock my spirit in the globe, at least for a while. Then I will need you to carry me out of here and deliver the globe to Higroth."
The spirit of a sorceress floats just off the ground, looking forlorn.
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "One of the craft-brothers was adept at blowing glass, see if they can help you make the globe! Now, good luck!"
-*- You have been assigned a quest! -*-
The spirit is referring to the Rose-colored glass globe which requires
You give a rose-colored glass globe to the spirit of a sorceress.
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "This is perfect... After I transfer myself into the globe, I won't be able to get us out of this pit, so you will have to take care of that somehow. Then just deliver my globe to Higroth."
The spirit of a sorceress floats upward a little, then appears to curl herself into the glass globe! Her features and limbs become indistinguishable as the globe begins to shine with an inner light...
After a bright FLASH of light, you find yourself holding the globe.
You give a rose-colored glass globe to Higroth.
Higroth is surrounded by a white aura.
Higroth says (in primal): "eh, whats this?"
The light inside the globe coalesces into a perfect image of the sorceress's face! It takes only a small moment for Higroth to recognize whom he is looking at in the globe, and as he does, his face hardens...
The spirit of a sorceress tells you: "Thank you for doing this... It's my only chance at solace. I can only reward you with this little bit of information: In the historian's alcove, where Higroth and I first fell in love, a secret alcove in the east wall often held valuable artifacts. Good luck!"
You feel the spirit of a sorceress make an impression on your mind, and you realize you know how to open the secret alcove!
-*- You gain 8 quest points! -*-
From within the globe, the spirit of a sorceress says: "Higroth, my love, I am so sorry that I hurt you. All I wanted was for you to enjoy the freedom to leave this desert and to know the love of a child. I should have told you the truth of what I wanted, though. I made a mistake, but I was driven to it by love! Forgive me..."
With an even voice, Higroth replies: "You are right that you should have told me, so I could have put a stop to your madness. But I never wanted those things you claim to want to give me. I was happy with my brothers. I forgave you long ago, but I do not love you, even a little."
Higroth continues: "Things are different now, but not so different. We all have our places. My brothers continue their research in the caverns. I tend to my salamanders. And you, you will go back to your pit!" And with his final words Higroth dashes the globe against the ground, shattering it into many hundreds of pieces! The escaping mists from the globe quickly dissipate into the air.
Higroth sighs loudly.
The white aura around Higroth fades.
