> Thanks. I oufnd another gold piece and went to see the soothsayer again but she said some stupid thing about physical possibility? I salyed the wood sprite-thanks! so I have seen the sorcerer etc... It seems that none of the passwords work for the tower in the bushes. And do I have to give the gold to the soothsayer, or can I give it to the shopkeeper for example?

You have to give all your gold to the soothsayer, it becomes very important. There is another password to enter the tower (which is the most annoying place in the game), and the sorceror will assist you in getting it.
