Note: This is 'safe' mini-game. If you somehow manage to get yourself killed, you will lose your items.

Location: Southeast of Al Kharid

Requirements: Empty Beer Glass(es), Pestle & Mortar, must have completed the Prince Ali Rescue quest

Osman, the master spy of Al Kharid, gets thirsty during his spying and sleuthing and sneaky activities. But no, he won't settle for a Coke or Olive Oil like normal people - he must have Sq'irk Juice, made from the Sq'irk found only on Sq'irk Trees in the Sorceresses' Garden.

However, Osman and the Sorceress aren't very close friends, and for some reason he cannot go and apply his skills to stealing some fruit, so of course he needs your help!

Getting Started

To begin, go to Al-Kharid and talk to Osman, who is just north of the castle. Chat with him about sq'irk's. After you've had a nice talk, head south-east until you come to a small house with a teleport icon in it (on the mini-map that is).

In the upper confines of this house the Sorceress performs her sorcerery. She is very rude and I would not recommend talking to her. Thus, talk to the apprentice on the first floor. If this is your first time you will have to talk with the apprentice and convince her to teleport you to the Sorceresses' Garden. All you need to do is be nice to her, listen to her whinning, and tell her she should teleport you so she can practice her magic.

The Sorceresses' Garden

When you arrive at the garden, you will notice there are four doors branching off from where you have appeared. To leave the area, you can just drink from the fountain. The table below will tell you which door is what!

Direction	Garden	Thieving Level Required	Farming EXP For Finding Sq'irk
West	Winter Garden	1	30
East	Spring Garden	25	40
South	Autumn Garden	45	50
North	Summer Garden	65	60

When you are ready, choose whatever garden you wish and enter to begin your 'adventure'. Before you go in, if you have a Catspeak Amulet with you, you can talk to Del-Monty the cat about the situation.

Navigation

Once you are in the garden, you need to get to your destination without getting caught by the elementals that patrol each garden. To do this, you should study their movements and outclever them. They can only see straight ahead so you can use any place that isn't on the elemental's "road" to hide.

Please note that if you do get caught, you will be teleported outside of the maze and have to start all over again.

Of course, you may think the only point of the gardens is to obtain the sq'irks from the sq'irk trees, but there is also the herbs patch in each garden.

The herbs patch is a patch full of herbs! When you decide to pick from this patch you will be given 2 random herbs.

Otherwise, head for the sq'irk tree.

When you reach the tree, you can pick some fruit for some farming experience.

Rewards

From the fruits, you can make both tasty and nutritious sq'irk juice! (Note: You can not choose between making tasty or nutritious juice.)

To do this, make sure you have an empty beer glass in your inventory for every x fruits required to make the drink. Then use your pestle & mortar with the fruit, and your drink will be prepared ready to be consumed or given to that drunk Osman!

Juice	No. of Sq'irks	Thieving Boost	Run Energy Boost	Thieving XP If Given To Osman
Winter	5	+ 0	+ 5%	350
Spring	4	+ 1	+ 10%	1350
Autumn	3	+ 2	+ 15%	2350
Summer	2	+ 3	+ 20%	3000
