 * misc=
 * You must turn at least one minotaur into stone to successfully complete the quest (Dorris will give you a 5-charge wand for this)
 * The Cabal Seers can inflict negative levels and have instant-death effects (used rarely on Normal, but often on Hard), so make sure to have Deathblock and Death Ward available.
 * The fortress is a very tight, built up area; Jump buffs make moving around MUCH easier.
 * A handy tactic is to clear the small section of the fortress first, then send someone to grab agro and lead minotaurs across the bridges, then you can drop firewalls, blade barriers, etc in their path. Also a great tactic for rangers with improved precise shot and a paralyzing bow!
 * The Minotaur Runts tend to be the ones that run for the warning gongs, if you want to complete the stealthy optional, kill them quickly (or use the wand Dorris gives you on them). If you are going for the slayer optional chain however you will need to allow the gongs to be rung (or ring them yourself) to spawn enough minotaurs to reach the goal.  Using the wand to petrify a minotaur DOES NOT count towards your kills (don't waste it on bosses!)  After killing all the minotaurs, you need to kill at least one non-minotaur mob for the final slaying bonus (there are some worgs inside the fortress, but plenty of animals in the wilderness area outside if you haven't killed them all gathering ballista parts.)
 * There are more than enough parts to repair two Ballistas, although only one is required to complete the optional objective. Repair a ballista outside the fortress to fling you inside, and then another ballista can be repaired inside the fort near the chieftan's compound to fling you over the wall and bypass the trapped gate.
 * Unlike many quests, it does not count as finished when you kill the end boss, but rather when you speak to Dorris after killing the chieftan and turning at least one minotaur to stone, so you can take your time after killing the boss clearing his compound of breakables and ringing gongs (if you are going for the slaying optional) to rack up bonuses.
 * There is a repaired ballista inside the boss's compound that will fling you directly back to Dorris to quickly complete the quest.

 * Mischief bonus: 60 breakables smashed
 * Vandal bonus: 78 breakables smashed
