Graentel, petrified with fear after just witnessing the killing of Grim and his Orcs, doesn’t quite know whether to weep with joy or cringe in fear. However, she quickly figures out that you are here to save her. She cries hysterically for a few minutes, but gets a handle on herself. She tells you that Grim’s BIGKEY will open her manacles, and you free her.
Graentel is scared and would like to leave the caves as quickly as possible. However, she clings to her rescuers and will follow where they go. After all, these brave heroes are obviously powerful enough to clear the caves. Graentel will not enter combat under any conditions, though she will defend herself if attacked. In the event that her skills are useful to the party, she will do her best to aid them.
Under Grim’s bed you find a chest with 25c, 20s, and 5g. There are also four vials with writing on them. If you have the codeword MANACLE go to (034).
You can search the table (022), exit to the west (024) or return to town (040).
A character with ALCHEMY or SORCERER’S TONGUE realizes that the vials contain Elvish Greensalve. Two vials will instantly heal D6+1 ST per vial. The other two vials contain Assist Potions. Each potion will allow a character to raise one stat of their choice by +1 for one encounter.
