Upon
first entering the hut you'll see Ernest. Talk to him about what
he's doing out there, and make sure to ask him what he used to do his
research. It costs 250 coins to use one of his teleporters.
Once
you've talked to Ernest and bought your teleporter ticket head into the
next room. There's a door leading to the north. If you go
through this door you can steal a few items for selling.
Now
walk along the bookshelf until you get a message about a book.
Taking the book results in Ernest sending you to the Drake Cave the
first time you use one of his teleporters, but after that you can use
the teleporters normally.
The
book is important for two reasons. First, it teaches you Dispel
Barrier Lv.3. I've heard that you can also learn the spell in
Squiggus, but I've never found it there. You'll also get a quest
to steal the book from someone in Golddale, and your reward for that
quest is a couple points in the special skill Resistance, but it also
knocks your repuation down a little bit. Since that's the only
way to get that skill I consider it worth it.
The
door leading to the east is the room with the teleporters.
Starting in the southeast corner and going counter clockwise, the
portals lead to Krizsan, Shayder, Sharimik, Lorelei and Gale. If
you've stolen the book it doesn't matter which one you go through,
you'll still be teleported to the Drake Cave.
