have the key to the study and a beacon set near the frst chest.All I have to do when I com back with a level 20 or so party is go straight across the water to that big door . . kill the fright following me, then the zombie inside. The first door to the study is no right in front of me so I go in kill that zombie, open the study door and kill the fright inside take the book and portal back to Thjorgard. I've never tried this, but I'm told that a local TP will take you to Thjorgrd (if you have been to Thjorgard first) from the Isle of Ashes. If that's so, I'll only need one beacon scroll which I can find in the dooks castle in Guberland. And Bingo, my initiates will become mages maybe as early as 15 Jan or so. This will beat my best time for Priest which was 2 Feb. I'll be satisfied with this.
