This part of the game is somewhat random: you need to make a map of the lines and trap the brown rock so that you end up moving to the same position. To get the green rock to move, just say "rock, west" and then note the possible moves and where the brown rock has moved. The best way to start appears to be going west, northeast and south.

The Vault

Walk east and REZROV the door. Put all except the book into the zipper, then save your game, because you can't save in the next section. Go north. There are 12 "x" cubes in this room, and you need to use the JINDAK spell to determine which is the most powerful - the pile that contains the most powerful cube will glow brightest when you cast this spell. Learn JINDAK 3 times, and learn BLORPLE.

Start by picking up x1, x2, x7 and x8. Cast JINDAK. If one of the two piles glows more brightly than the other, you know that pile contains the most powerful cube; if not, you are holding it. Now rearrange the piles to narrow it down to two possibilities and cast JINDAK again - note that you must have 4 cubes in each pile on the ground and 4 cubes in your inventory for the spell to work correctly. You now have only two cubes to consider; make sure one is in each pile on the ground, then cast JINDAK a third time. Now pick up the powerful cube; an alarm will be going by now. BLORPLE the powerful cube.

Go down through the hole in the sand. Take the key from the zipper and use it to unlock the cabinet (if you got Belboz's question wrong, the key won't work here). Open the cabinet and take the vellum scroll. Read the vellum scroll. Learn all spells 7 times. Now put the book in the cabinet, close the cabinet and lock the cabinet with the key. REZROV the door, the BLORPLE the powerful cube.

Now go up and open the sack. Take the flimsy scroll and the burin. Copy the flimsy scroll to the vellum scroll. Pick up the sack, and empty the zipper into the sack. Put the flimsy scroll in the zipper, close the zipper and then drop it. Take the "12" cube and BLORPLE the "12".
