== Caves on the way north ==
Five small caves can be explored on the road to Minoc. The first two are on the west side of the road going north. Right after the second one, pay attention for a path leaving the main road and going south then east. The path passes in front of a hut (the owner can be met after sunset), then turns north towards Minoc moongate. The latter three caves are in the mountains west of the northwards path.

Head to the sawmill over the western bridge to find yet another murder. This time it is two Fellowship-hating gypsies Frederico and Tania. Interrogate the onlookers and grab the serpentine dagger. Did you see that candlestick? Talk to '''Xanthia''' about it and then to '''Elynor'''. It is a small town, so everyone here knows something. The bartender '''Rutherford''' also knows about Hook.

From Elynor you will learn that Elizabeth and Abraham have headed all the way back to Paws and to the shelter there. If you've died during your quest you'll have already visited it: it is the place where you come to.

Ask people about Owen, especially '''Jakher''' the trainer. You will find out about Karl who lives to the south. Follow the main road and pay attention for a path that branches to the south. Follow it south and east until you reach a hut (46N 89E), where '''Karl''' goes to sleep at night. Talk to him and you'll eventually get the ship plans. Show them to '''Julia''' who realises the ship is flawed. Now go to the mayor '''Burnside''', who immediately cancels Owen's monument. If you talk to '''Owen''' after doing this he will kill himself and you will earn '''100 experience points'''. <!--[As Hacki pointed out]--> It is possible to resurrect him, but he will only suicide over and over again.

You'll come across another of Owen's dodgy ships (or at least what is left of it) later on in [[../New Magincia/]], but for now it is time to continue pursuit of the guilty couple all the way back to [[../Paws/]].

From the sawmill, head south to the mine. Here you'll find even more venom, so be sure to pocket it.  


There is also an infinite supply of Blackrock chunks, if you can find the hidden machine that is. Remember: these are lighter than powder kegs but have the same effect.
