Resume your course toward Ix. Talk to the guards; they inform you that the mayor has been expecting you. Enter through two gates to emerge inside the village. Mayor Theogrin approaches. He mentions that urchins have his scepter and lie in the cemetery to the east. Recover the scepter and return to the center of town. Quest: Retrieve the Mayor's Scepter from the Urchin Before heading east, explore the town. You'll find several shopkeepers if you need to replenish supplies. Also, there are several private residences that contain gold, food, and other equipment. A well of restoration lies to the east of the mayor's home (at the center of town). When you're ready, head along the eastern path toward the cemetery. Along the way, you'll encounter Henrich; you can purchased a charmed beast from him if you desire. Continue to the east and cross the bridge. A secret area lies to the north; push the boulder aside to reveal a hole. Enter the hole to fall into a cavern with spiders and gold. Locate the elevator at the end and ride up into the house. Explore the house and open all the chests; you'll find a ruby key and a helm of wasp's bane. Exit the house and proceed south to find the gate into the Ix cemetery. Head into the cemetery and eliminate the first of many urchins. After the crypts, you'll emerge in a larger area. The eventual goal lies to the southwest. Before you go, enter the shed to the northeast for some food. Bust the fence behind the shed for a secret area and some gold. Another secret area lies to the west; once again, bust the fence and grab the gold. Enter the crypt to the southwest and ride elevator. Many urchins attack. Fend them off. A gate lies to the northeast, but you need a gold key. Head northwest and follow the cavernous path, encountering urchins as you move. The eventual path lies to the south and curves to the north. Tons of urchin are here. Perfect your combat techniques against them. Hurry after them and club them with a staff to eliminate them in a single hit. Corner them against walls to eliminate them quickly. Try not to get overwhelmed by the little pests; if you encounter too many, retreat back and tackle them a few at a time. You'll also encounter giant scorpions inside the urchin's hideout. Perform the berserker charge to defeat the scorpion in a single blow.
