Quest Background: An angry wizard claims that one of your henchmen has stolen his spell book. He places a curse on your kingdom until you make amends.Objective: Retrieve the lost spell book or destroy him.
There are two ways to win this quest: either find the spell book or destroy (i.e. kill) the wizard. Since the wizard is level 20 and guarded by a spell-casting varg (quite a dog, isn't it!), chances are you'll have an easier time taking the first option.
You should have enough gold to get a guild-full of rangers right from the start. Build a marketplace to provide the rangers with healing potions. The monsters on this map are not particularly powerful, other than the stationary daemonwoods. Therefore, a few extra warriors backing up your rangers should suffice. As your rangers explore, they will arrest hooligans roaming around the map. When you have arrested all of the normal hooligans, you'll be notified that there is still one left, none other than the one carrying the missing spell book. This particular hooligan has twice the hit points of a normal one and is able to cast wizard spells, but your rangers should dispose him fairly easily. The sole source of trouble is a lone daemonwood that guards the area where the last hooligan wanders. If you lose a few heroes to the daemonwood, simply hold back and recruit new heroes later. You will not be hard-pressed in economy for this mission.
Once you've attained the spell book, the wizard will ask you to free a peasant captured by werewolves to show your good will. Your combined force of rangers, warriors, and perhaps other heroes such as rogues and elves should easily defeat the werewolves to win the quest.
If you prefer to defeat the wizard, the easiest method however, is to build a dwarven settlement right next to his wizards guild, along with two ballista towers. Place an attack flag on his guild and provoke him to step out. Once he's outside, your towers should make short work of him. Before you can place a dwarven settlement there, you'll most likely have to defeat the daemonwood and his varg. Alternatively, you may try to storm his home without towers, but chance of success are slim.
