This is a nice little diversion from the Pixie forest, especially when you get a little bit older. There are some interesting little pieces of eq to be found here as well. Just down from here leads back to the Pixie Forest. Directly north of you are the gates to Tull manor. You can go around the manor by heading east or west, or you can head right in through the front door. The collie that is right inside is wearing an interesting collar, so identify it when you kill the collie. Here is Grandpa, sitting back, relaxing, when along comes a bunch of rude adventurers interrupting his peace. Its a wonder the Tull family hasnt been on a killing spree in Darkhaven yet as payback. He is pretty much a pushover, and his book on healing is well worth the identification. There is nothing really that interesting about the cook here, except that she wants you to either help or get out. She does have a rolling pin if you felt the need to use that as a weapon, though. The larder directly east of here usually has some food and a nice barrel of port wine if you feel the need to get nice and toasty...
Out the back door to the north will lead you out to the stables and the gardener. Try the watermelon, its quite delicious ;) Stairwell to the second and third floors of the manor. On the second floor, there are many doors to the east, west, and south. Kill Robert Tull if you must, but watch out for the baby. Kill the baby and be transported to a random location in the realms. (ooohhhh fun!) He's understandably peeved that you have come barging into his home. So make quick work of him and take his cane (it casts a nice little sanctuary, so just hold the cane and then BRANDISH CANE). Tell my kids... Yeah. Just hand over the soap and the panther-crested ring. Its right on the Lady. Soap will give you a nice heal when you eat it, and the panther crested ring? Well, ID it of course... The room with a dot is a nice pain in the arse, and should teach you to read the room descriptions carefully before just plunging headlong anywhere. You will fall through the floor here and find yourself with no way out. So here is a great example of why you might wanna carry around recal scrolls wherever you go...
