1) Found Cassandra - how do I curse her, as she obviously won't help the talking tibar

2) Missing monks - where are they?

3) Teleporters in SE - Is this a true puzzle, and do we actually need to solve this to get somewhere important? I don't want to try figuring it out if I don't need to go there!

4) Cave north of Temple Town - strange markings I can't decipher. How do I enter?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Regards,
Michael
