    These are the examples of what was found during this quest:
    1. When you're at the gargoyle - <examine gargoyle>

       A small squat looking stone gargoyle sits here. It is apparently watching this portcullis. It is grey with beady little jewel eyes. It smirks at you in a strange way. There appears to be some markings carved in its stone base.

       <examine markings>

       You can just make out what the markings say. Set beneath these stones of this passage is the tomb of the queen of the fairies. Aylia the Golden. Captured in the Obelisk War. She is entombed here for all time with much honor, and respect for her kind. All who dare disgrace her remains be forewarned, only death awaits.......

    2. From Gargoyle - <e, examine tree>

       A very large old oak tree. There are some markings on it. It is getting all covered in snow.

       <examine markings>

       You can just make out what the markings say. Contained within the deep earth beneath this mighty tree, is the one whom was loved by one and all. Methrab the Gifted. Slain by invading goblins in the twenty third year of the great cataclysm. Beware all who try to disgrace his remains......

    3. From Gargoyle - <2e, examine tree>

    4. From Gargoyle - <w, n, examine markings>

       You can just make out what the markings say. Buried beneath this wall is the saviour of all the citizens of Medlar in the Great War of the Jeweled Dragons. Tylaick the Sovereign. Fell in battle in the third year of the Black Sky. To all who dare to disturb his remains, beware, only death awaits.........

    5. From Gargoyle - <3e, examine markings>
