There's an old woman pacing outside the tower. When she sees you, she looks relieved. "Oh, you came, you came!" she exclaims, and explains to you that the person you're looking for is indeed at the top of the tower, but they've been cursed and need your help.

You need to find a golden coin which belongs to a fairy queen in Barrackham. But she won't give it up for nothing, the woman warns you; you'll have to trade something of value of your own... And you'd better hurry, dear. You friend is running out of time.
