The Hag's Assistant

Grizelda the Hag
07o 12'N 33o 40'W

The Hag's Assistant is a classic quest that is located South East of the Grove of Love.

Talk to Grizelda the Hag and you will be sent off looking for one of her apprentices with warnings of the vile Zeefzorpul. She directs you to the road west of the ruins and up the road towards Yew's graveyard. Follow it north until you find a charred corpse (usually past 2 guard outposts) and be very careful to stay on the path. Opening the corpse continues the quest.

Return to Grizelda and report your findings. Once you tell her of the demise of her apprentice, she sends you out to find Zeefzorpul and return a scrap of parchment to her. To do this you will need to slay some Imps; Once you have slain enough you will be given a map and a Magic Flute. Head to the location indicated on the map and, once there, play the flute to reveal Zeefzopul. He will snatch away the flute but return the stolen recipe and then disappear. Return to Grizelda with the recipe and she will then task you with completing her shopping list of items for the recipe.
