This is the route to the Tower of the Magi (TotM). There are two routes south - the west one is the main pathway, the east one is the backroads. The west one has a merchant who has some decent armor (but not too much), and the east one has ogres and a cache. You can head down a stairway for the east route to kill an ogre mage. This is the full on attack path, and is a bit tougher, though still doable. The ogre mage is to the south, and once destroyed will drop a set of Thrusting Gauntlets (+1 Blademaster, +1 Lethal Blow - very nice).

This is the area you must go to test X's lizard. Go to the NE from the Tower colony, and you are prompted to place the egg down. Cast shielding, blessing, and haste spells, and cast an augmentation on the lizard. Your job is to keep it alive till it kills over naturally. There will be three waves of chitrachs trying to kill you and the lizard. Once over, the lizard dies on its own. Nearby is a stairway down which leads to a Rod of Succor and a few other minor goodies.
