Description/Exam

This masterpiece crafted by the hands of an elven silversmith has
been etched with the design of a gryphon with extended talons.
Both talons appear to be made to grasp something.  When worn,
the rampaging gryphon clings to the rim of the ear.

Notes

Nelkum's copy of Jexia's Valley of Mysts map

• First, one must get the parchment from skeleton in the cottage.
  • The skeleton is immune to slashing and non-magic weapons (just like the randomly wandering mist). **Then go to the 'Stones of Worship' room and "look rose" while you have the parchment in your inventory. A golden key will fall out. This opens a "trapdoor" in the cottage.
  • Go back to the cottage, open the trapdoor and go down. Dig to find a rampaging gryphon. Then dig up to exit the basement.
