Once you reach Stow, people will say good things about their King, but others will be too busy to talk. Talk to this woman and she will tell you what happened last Night.
	So go talk to the King. Well, that went well, he is also too busy to talk. Well then, we know when we are not wanted. But we cannot go any further. Why don't you check out that cave you passed just a little back? Rest at the Inn, buy a Lantern at the Item Shop, save at the Church.
The map to the 1st floor is here. There is a Lantern in that spiral coridor in the middle. Get it unless you don't want to spend more money on them. There is also 850 Kim in the dead end south of the entrance. Take the stairs when ready. Remember to check out the Sanguios Cave map.
	Here is the map to the 2nd floor. The Skeleton Armor is in the upper right hand corner and is stronger than the Crystal Armor.
Here is what you came here for. This little girl. She will sell you a Book of Sanguios Spells for a super low price of 1000 Kim (wonder if she worked for Wal*Mart at one time). Sanguios restores all HP for only 2 MP. At the stats I have now in the picture, I could completely heal myself 50 times before running out of MP. I recommend that you at least get to Level 13 before going back to Stow.
	Once you have reached Level 13, head back to Stow. People will wonder where you got that Book of Spells (Sanguios). Head to the King. He will give you his ring, until he sees his book of Sanguios Spells. He calls Erik the thief and tells him to prove his innocence, and to prove that he is not joking, he takes back his Book of Sanguios Spell and the Rings that you have already gathered. So you must see that girl again.
When you find her, make sure that you have all of your HP. Talk to her and don't believe what she says. She will than say that she only borrowed it...
	She turns into a Archmonster. This one is a bit hard to kill. Here is how I do it. When it shoots fire from its right hand, it will fly up. Duck those ones. When it shoots from the left hand, it will go down. Slash those ones. Move in closer and closer and slash away until the right hand is gone. Then the rest is easy from there. It will only take 2 hits with Super Strength. Just remember: Right-up-duck, Left-down- slash. Remember that for all times. When she dies, she leaves 3000 Exp. and 3000 Kim. But is she really dead?
Talk to her again and she will say that she is sorry. She makes a living selling stuff that she steals. She then says that she will go to Stow and show them how much she regrets what she did. Hurry to Stow.
	When you return, you will notice that everybody is hurt. You don't think that the girl... maybe. Talk to the King. They said that it was the girl and did not expect a thing from her, until it attacked. It took all of the Rings and ran to Asti's Cave. The Tavernkeeper has a Map to Asti's Cave.
Talk to this man to get a Map to Asti's Cave. Rest at the Inn and Save at the Church. Also, make sure that you have a Lanten, a couple of Poison Balms, a Gnome Stone, and some Medicine.
	To get to Asti's Cave, go east and take the first path north you see. Here is where you can get the one and only Ruby Brooch in Vermilion. When used, it will allow you to go for a while without being attacked. The path leading north is the road to Asti's Cave.
The map to the 1st floor is here. There is a Royal Shield in that spiral coridor at the upper left part of this floor. Get it, for it is stronger than the Platinum Shield. Take the stairs when you have it. Refer here for the map to Asti's Cave.
	The map to the 2nd floor is a bit trick to find. The easiest way to find it is to walk backwards around each corner until it appears.
This is where you want to be. You will meet the girl again. She says that she reported to King Tsarkon that Erik is collecting rings. She has the rings, but you will have to kill her.
	Again, you have to fight her. Use the same strategy as before (Remember, Right-up-duck, Left-down- slash). She is going to hurt you much worse than last time, but do the same thing and she will die (I am not going over it again, just look above if you forgot already). It will take a lot more this time to kill her, 4 Super Strength hits is what I counted. When she dies, you get 5000 Exp., 5000 Kim, and all of your Rings back, plus the Ring of Fire. Exit and head back to Stow, yet again.
The people are still hurt in town. Talk to the King and he will ask of 1 more favor for Erik to do. They need a doctor. He talks of a Doctor Basil in Keltwick, northeast of Stow. He then gives you a map to Keltwick. Rest at the Inn, Save at the Church. Head back in the direction of Asti's Cave.
	Take a left here and just follow the road to Keltwick.
Keltwick is located right here.
