      Hi camilof, and a belated welcome to the boards. The dark fairy cannot be found until you have the "Awareness Skill" which you can get from Mesera. Mary Krystina probably told you about him hiding in Perugo forest. His cave is on the same screen as Fungus' Getaway which is south of Varandeep Lake. (Are you confused yet?) Use the map linked in my signature below or check out Stark Bledfast's excellent (url="http://"http://stark.evula.net/pogwalkthrough.htm")Walkthrough and Compendium(/url) which gives verbal directions to the site.

      Good luck with your game. ~RD

      The (url="http://"http://mywebpage.netscape.com/rduckfwj/pog/mapnotes.html")Kingdom of Garendall(/url) sectional map is easily printed from gif format pages.
      Find those areas you missed the first time around. You'll want to explore those hidden areas now made accessible with Spells Expander.

    • You need the awareness skill. If you have the pathfinding skill, the awareness skill comes next. To obtain it check out Stark's guide or read the following (an excerpt from there)

      From the PoG Walkthrough and Compendium:
      **
      Locating Mesera's cave: Mary Kristina told you that Mesera lives in Perugo forest, which just happens to be a decently large area. To get to the cave where he resides, first travel from Fantrima to Gwyden Camp. From there follow the road 1 screen west, 1 screen north, and 1 screen west to the bridge over the Tearos river. If the bridge has not been built yet there is a quest that you should complete first. Cross the bridge and travel 2 screens west and then 4 screens south. In the center of the map you will find a cave. Enter the cave and fight your way south to the exit. Once you have exited the cave travel 4 screens south(an item of note is that on this screen the North Gidolan tunnel entrance is located just north of the center of the map, and is worth stopping at to open it up for later use). Travel 1 screen east and you will locate the cave on the southeast side of the map. Enter the cave and look for Mesera.

      Finding Mesera - the two possible outcomes: Mesera is located in a sealed off portion of the temple in the southeast section. You will find a closed gate set in a north wall at the end of an east running corridor that will not open. However if you backtrack west a short ways until you find a corridor running south and follow that passageway south it will open up into a large chamber. In this chamber you will find 2 "buttons," which are tiles that have a small circle on them set into the floor. Walk over these and they will depress and you will hear a faint "click." When you have tripped both of these buttons return to the gate and it will be open. Enter through the gate and you will be greeted by 1 of 2 possible outcomes depending on what you did back in the first of the Learning Tree missions. If you let the bandit leader live then Mesera will teach you the Awareness skill. If you did not then you will have to fight and kill Mesera, find the scroll kept in the chest in the northern part of Mesera's chamber, and then take the scroll back to Mary Kristina so that she can teach you the Awareness skill. Either way as soon as you deal with Mesera you will learn the Awareness skill one way or the other, and the Path of Thievery quest will be concluded.**

      Hope that helps.

      EDIT: RD beat me

      Once you have the Awareness skill, head back to where the fairy was taunting you and strangle the little boffkin. 🙂
