Hello Chris

I don't know if you are still reading thus but if so I have a question.  What is the correct way through the maze?  I can move South from the flight of stairs through the magic wall then S, E and N through more magic walls where I find a key.  Beyond this and mapping the whole maze conventionally I am at a bit of an impasse.  I have got as far as obtaining the wand from the bar-maid and giving it to the wizard together with the potion.  However the old man and the vicar remain obstinately unresponsive. 

Regards
