err ok

spoilers:


you need to light the torches in a very specific way---look at the colored 'couches' in rooms that frame the main room (the one with lum the mad's machine and the crazy guy). go to the map view and you will see what I am talking about

light the torches with those colors...


then, open the door. some bad bad minotaurs named rock and garock will charge out with some friends.. they can deal some damage--but no magic casters amoung them. the crystal mallet is in a cabinet behind them.

how does the machine of lum the mad work, anyhow?
