Among the other items, you also find a sheaved scroll. As you unroll the parchment it is a blank scene, white on white if you will. But thirteen candles appear suspended in the air above it. Shimmering text then appears before you on the once blank page and says: 'Blow out the right candle and get a surprise! (at least it doesn't say 'Pull my Finger!') Which candle do you blow out? (1-13)
The map springs to life, showing the entire northern Sapphire Coast region. Ships travel along the coast, traders roll across the roads and trails, and cities teem with life. Then the map begins to change. Pirate ships attack the merchant vessels, sinking them. Images of horrible monsters appear, devouring the caravans. Towns are surrounded by dark hordes and then disappear in a spire of flame. Great fleets set out from the Sapphire Coast, Bastille, Tsugaria and its allies. They meet in a tremendous battle, from which few ships escape. Those that do are destroyed by a terrible storm at sea. Unending streams of orcs and hordes of undead stream from the east, surrounding Tsugaria, Bastille, and finally even the Sapphire Coast and reducing them to stinking piles of ash. The map then fades away and is replaced with the face of a huge gazer. It blinks its great eye once and smiles. The map crumbles into powder in your hands, forcing you to wonder who these pirates are and who their master really is.
Answer to the candle riddle is the current game time after converting from 24 hour (military time) to 12 hour. Examples: 1=1, 6=6, 13=1, 18=6, 23=11, 24=12.
This will net you 5k experience instead of 1k if guessed wrong.

The door to the north appears to be sealed by lock of high level magic. You can read the runes upon it: 'to be opened only by those from beyond.' The building to the east is rubble.

'Hmmm...you say you're from Tsugaria but you don't look like seagoing types to me. Get out of here before I call the guards! I'm sick of you pirates and all your detestable friends! Being from Tsugaria used to mean being an honest seafarer. Since this region has re-opened all we see here are pirates and your ilk. Can we never be honest seafarers again? Now get out!!'

In the pocket of the mage you find a note. It erupts in flame almost immediately after being opened, but you recollect some of the words from the brief glance you are allowed. 'Greetings, Haji. Our plans are coming together nicely pirates by...to plan...islands Belafaz, the greedy... will continue to wield his powers, and send shipments to us. Congratulations... Morin...'

You search the room after the battle, and find a hidden doorway in the wall. Do you go through it?
You pass through the small door, which clicks shut behind you. Following a narrow, dark passage you travel several hundred yards across damp, stone floors. Finally, the passage begins to rise, but then reaches a dead end. Pressing frantically around the stone walls for escape, you push the right spot and the stone above you slides open. Climbing out of the murky hole, you find yourself in a dark and musty cavern, filled with stalactites and stalagmites. The hole in the floor closes and refuses to re-open. Suddenly you feel very dizzy...
