> > You need to find (for now) four gold coins. Give them to the soothsayer (the witchie woman) who is north of the tree with the wall. She will give you hints and passwords. When you give her the 4th gold coin she will give you password. How many gold coins have you found? Judging from your inventory you're in pretty good shape. You just need to give the soothsayer more gold coins. You will need the oil later in the game. You need to give someone that scroll. If you click on it in your inventory the game will tell you what is it used for. The person in need of the scroll has a password also.

> Correction: since you have the oil, you have the dollar bill and have been in both castles, so you've already given her the first four gold coins, restored the man's voice, et cetera.

> I think you should be able to get back in the fortress the way you came. You'll need to use the oil inside to make sure the front door will open for you when you have to go back inside. The gold coin you need is in the exact place you need to give the password, just search the room a bit.
