I have the signet ring and have talked to the Oracle, but I can't "follow the river west to get to the Serpent lair." How do I get through the cave or is there a different way?

Wasn't this a thread just a couple days ago? Maybe it got deleted along with the rest of December (grrr).

Anyway, you've gotta speak to the one talkative Oracle about *EVERYTHING*, annoying I know, but one of the words is a key for him to leave and for the western wall to disappear.

Shame Regis isn't here... that guy would remember the exact word!
