This quest is called 'Interview with Acron', for Adventurers levels

Description of Interview with Acron:
Next month, Acron will be celebrating his birthday. He is a bit of a
recluse, but has always been a great asset to this city. I would like the
Alyrian Chronicle to dedicate several pages to this great man, and they
suggested you for writing an interview. So, get all the supplies you will
need, visit Acron, and don't forget to make some research in the paper's
archives. After you are done, deliver what you have written to the editor
in chief personally, then report back to me.
Upon successful completion of this quest you can receive up
to
25 quest points,
2 practice points,
9500 experience points, and
2000 gold pieces.
You have
120 minutes remaining to complete this quest.
Interview with Acron consists of:
Phase 3: Visit
Acron.
From the Mighty Goblin, so 1 south, all west, and all south until you see:
*Gwyllem, the Enlightened One is here, poking you in the ribs.
Try going south of him, he'll ask you this riddle:
'I am sometimes raging as a bull and sometimes calm as a baby sleeping.' Gwyllem, the enlightened one says. 'I have two banks but never any money. Who am I?'
Sayto him or say River.
You will be sent South from Gwyllem. Be careful not to return this way unless you need to, or you will have to do the riddle again. Then go all South, 1 East, North, East, South, and pick up the Black Mushroom on the ground. Then.. north, East, 2 South, West, South, East. You will see Leoric.
Leoric the sidhe druid is here.
Try going east and he'll ask for a mushroom. Give him the mushroom and you will be sent east of him.
From there, you go 4 e, n, e, n, 2w, n, w. You will see:
**Salem the necromancer is here, shrouded in an aura of darkness.
Search in his room and try to go north. He'll say:
Salem says, 'Ye must find me a diamond before ye can speak with Acron; follow the sphere and you will find a diamond.'
Salem utters the word 'gnyah!'
The air shimmers and a green sphere appears.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you watch what direction the orb moves and follow one step behind it very carefully. The orb will float on through a number of rooms and end up floating through a South wall. Search, enter, and pick up the diamond in there. Bring this back to Salem.
Give the diamond to Salem and he will transport you to the room north. West of here is Acron! He is in a safe room, and there is a down room that sometimes holds goods such as a meteorite slab. Acron usually rewards low level visitors with small amounts of practices. —
