Chapter 3
Playing with the Don (but similar for Mage or Warrior), after opening the door with the 5 discs and defeating the group of lizard men exiting, turn around and head back to the monastery. It is now crawling with lizard men. Help Ignatius fend off the one or two lizard men he's fighting, and you are given two quests; Secure the Volcano Keep and Orders for the Mages. Lead the mages back to the Hall of the Flame by talking to them. The mages are the named leaders, not the recruits, and those needed to be found are: Illumar, Vitus, Abrax, Cyrus, and Pallas. Once you have found or talked to everyone, return to Ignatius for a situation report.
By doing the Orders for the Mages quest, and subsequently picking up the few quests from the mages found, you will eventually have cleared out the keep of lizardmen. Securing the keep in full might include the completion of two subquests. The first is given by Vitus, called The Lizard Warrior, and involves finding and killing a stronger lizardman who seems to organize things from the cemetery. The second is to secure the library from lizardmen and retrieving books and notes of value, a quest given by Abrax named The Supplies from the Library that includes killing 10/10 lizardmen named Intruders only found in the library.
