You surprise a man who jumps to attention as you approach his secluded resting place. Around him are scrolls, stones, vials and other magic items. He appears old and tired and looks at you with reservation... in his eyes. 'Who are you and what do you want with me?' You explain to the man that you have come from Rivermoore and Stonebridge and seek the man by the name of Gerard. 'Yea? And what do you want of him?' he asks. You tell him of your good fortune in finding the Staff of Jolith and the Blessed Crystal. You explain you only want to help the people of the two towns by finding this man Gerard so that he can again weld the two items so that their magic properties can again save the people. The man begins to speak. 'I have waited a long time, hoping that the staff and the crystal would be found. I am Gerard Wegman. I am the man you seek. I can tell your cause is sincere. Please, I will use my magic and forge the two items as one if you promise to hurry to Father Bartholomew with the Sacred Scepter, so that he may return them to the two towns and verify that the components are complete and safe to use.' Gerard breathes a sigh of relief when he sees that the polished amethyst inside the Blessed Crystal remains intact. 'Finally, one of the 9 Jewels of Bastille will once again be in safe hands.' You nod your agreement and Gerard prepares his magic. A white hot explosion bursts before you, its heat welding the two items as one.

A weak cleric reaches out to you. 'My friends, might you have a drop of imported water to share?' he asks. You offer a portion of your water and he speaks...'I've been down here close to a week. My supplies are gone, I'm tired, and I've gotten nowhere. I'm certain the wand and crystal must be hidden down here. Why else would someone go to such pains to construct such an elaborate maze?' He thanks you for the water and closes his eyes to rest.

NPC Grover Weems - You spot an aged man drawing maps as he rests. You inquire as to his name, wondering if he might be Gerard Wegman. 'Nay, my friends. I am Grover Weems and I too am in search of Gerard.' The man sighs heavily, 'As if the snow and mist obscuring any tracks and signs in Rivermoore and Stonebridge weren't bad enough, I have walked in circles here and grow weary of this journey. I decided that before something evil befalls me, I'd put my travels down on paper for others to study.' He then offers you a glance at his maps and wishes you well in your quest. He prays silently that the finder of the Blessed Crystal does not realize that the purple, fist-sized gemstone contained inside the crystal is in fact one of the 9 Jewels of Bastille.
