I've tried all the options I can come up with at least fifteen times. I've caught the fish, gotten the Pass Ring from the soothsayer, gotten the spell from the sorcerer, gotten into the tower, and given the fish to the gnome, and done a lot of other things that didn't actually achieve anything as far as I could tell.
