4. Head back to Bert and he'll tell you that he works for the Sandy Sand Co. in Brimhaven and give you a copy of his Rota.
   
   
5. Go to Brimhaven and talk with Sandy at his office northwest of the pub. Once the conversation has ended, search his desk to obtain Sandy's rota. If you read the rotas, you will notice that they don't match. Before you leave the island, pickpocket Sandy and you'll obtain some Sand that will come into play later on in the quest.

6. Head back to Bert again and give him the two rotas. He'll now give you A magic scroll that appeared in his room the other day and suggests asking the wizards what it is.
   
   
7. Ring the bell at the Wizards' Guild and talk to Zavistic Rarve again. He'll give you a Magical orb and tell you to put it in Sandy's office. He'll also ask you to get some Truth serum from Betty in Port Sarim. Talk to him again and give him a Vial and he'll teleport you straight to Betty.
   
   
8. Once you are at the rune shop in Port Sarim, talk to Betty who will ask for a Vial. Give her the Vial and she will give you some Bottled water. She will then tell you that in order to make the serum, you must first add Redberries and then White berries to it. By mixing all the ingredients you will receive a bottle of Pink dye.
   
   Now use the Pink dye with the Lantern lens and you will get a Rose-tinted lens. Talk to Betty again and she will put a vial on the counter. Stand in the door opening and use the Rose-tinted lens with the vial to receive Truth serum. Talk to her again and she will add the Sand you obtained earlier to it to finish the Truth serum.

9. Return to Brimhaven and talk to Sandy again. Try to distract him using any of the options. If it works he will look away and a message box will appear saying that it is time to put the serum in his drink. If he doesn't look away and says "I'm not falling for that one", then you will have to try another option. When he does look away, use the Truth serum with the mug on the table.

10. Now, activate the orb and ask Sandy all of the available questions. He will tell you that he changed the rota so he would not have to pay Bert more for working longer, bribed a wizard to make Bert forget what the original rota said, and then killed the wizard because he didn't want to get caught.
    
    
11. Make your way back to Yanille and give Zavistic Rarve the Magical orb (a). He will ask for 5 Earth runes and a Bucket of sand. Give them to him and with the help of magic, he will refill Bert's sandpit so that he no longer has to work anymore. Zavistic Rarve will then tell you to go to the Entrana sandpit to see if you can find the rest of the dead wizard.
