Grizelda is an old wrinkled hag that has made a home out of some ruins far west of Britain. There she brews her strange and sometimes smelly potions.

Grizelda seems to have a problem keeping her apprentices alive, mainly because of a certain Imp named Zeefzorpul. Therefore she will ask you to go look for her last apprentice, who has gone missing. To find the apprentice you will have to go to the road east of the ruins and follow it north towards the cemetery in Yew. Somewhere along that road you will come across the body of the apprentice and notice the Imp steal a paper from the corpse. Once you have examined the body you can return to the Hag.

Not being too happy about the news, Grizelda will send you to recover the recipe that Zeefzorpul stole from the apprentice. When you get the recipe back from the Imp and return it to Grizelda, she will want you to collect the ingredients listed in the recipe for her, since she no longer has an apprentice to do it.

You will need to collect 3 random ingredients, which can be any of the following:

5 Sheep Liver (kill 5 Sheep)
5 Rabbit's Foot (kill 5 Rabbits or Jack Rabbits)
5 Mongbat Wing (kill 5 Mongbats)
5 Chicken Gizzard (kill 5 Chickens)
5 Rat Tail (kill 5 Rats)
5 Frog's Leg (kill 5 Bullfrogs)
5 Deer Heart (kill 5 Hinds or Great Harts)
5 Lizard Tongue (kill 5 Lizardmen or Lava Lizards)
5 Slime Ooze (kill 5 Slimes)
5 Spirit Essence (kill 5 Bogles, Ghouls, Shades, Spectres, Wraiths or Shadow Fiends)
5 Bones Buried In Hallowed Ground (use a shovel on a grave)
Swamp Water (use a pitcher on a swamp)
Freshly Cut Red Mushrooms (use a dagger on a red mushroom)
Star Chart (use a spyglass at night)
Captain Blackheart's Whiskey (talk to Captain Blackheart in Buccaneer's Den)
Once you have all three ingredients you can return to Grizelda for your reward, which will be some gold, reagents, magic items, a treasure map, a cauldron, a bottle of magical moonfire brew and if you were drunk when you finished the quest also a bottle of Grizelda's Extra Strength Hangover Cure.

Zeefzorpul the Imp

Zeefzorpul is a fiendish little Imp, who is the nemesis of Grizelda the Hag.

Your first encounter with Zeefzorpul will be when you are looking for the apprentice of Grizelda. When you find the apprentice you will also see the Imp very briefly as it steals a recipe from his corpse.

Grizelda will then send you to get the recipe back, but first you will have to find out where the Imp is hiding. To do that you will have to seek out other Imps and beat his location out of them, either with weapons, spells or pets. Once you find an Imp that is willing to talk it will give you a Magic Flute and a Map leading to Zeefzorpul's hidingplace.

Now all you have to do is find the location marked on the map and play the flute. If you are in the right location, Zeefzorpul will be summoned by the sound of the flute.

The music from the flute will make the Imp give up Grizelda's recipe without any problems, but just as you get it, he will swoop down and steal the Magic Flute from you. Good thing you don't need it anymore.

Since you now have the recipe you can return to Grizelda the Hag.

Captain Blackheart the Drunken Pirate

Captain Blackheart is a famous pirate, most known for his skill in drinking endless amounts of whiskey.

The Captain spends most of his time in the Pirate's Plunder Tavern in Buccaneer's Den with his favorite drink, 'Captain Blackheart's Whiskey'. This Whiskey is sometimes a key ingredient in Grizelda the Hag's magic brew.

To get the Captain to part with some of his whiskey, you will have to prove to him that you have what it takes to be a pirate. Doing that involves a lot of alcohol and some new clothes.

First you will need to find yourself a Tricorne Hat and any other clothes you think fits a pirate, the hat is the important part though.

Once you are all dressed up, you go buy a lot of alcohol from the tavernkeeper and start drinking...

After about 5 pitchers, maybe more maybe less, talk to the Captain again and he will let you know what he thinks of you. If he still thinks you are a useless landlubber, then you will have to drink more, but if he thinks you have proven yourself a true pirate, he will hand you a mug of his prized whiskey.

You can then continue on your quest for the ingredients to Grizelda's brew.

Note: Captain Blackheart will only talk to you if you are on Grizelda's quest and the whiskey is listed in her recipe.
