//# Orum/Waric Quest Part 1 - By Liana, reviewed by Stefan Beller #
//# GPL v.2 #
//# #
//# The first quest is to find Waric in the Caves with lots of torches. #
//# These torches must be set in the right color to have access to the next #
//# room, guarded by a magical barrier of other torches. #
//# #
//# The second quest is an easy, but background-story telling quest. #
//# Just visit the cave again, find what is really in there. #
//# #
//# #
//# Used variables: #
//# #
//# OrumQuest stores the progress of the quest #
//# OrumQuestTorch In nibble (0,1,2) the color of the torches is stored #
//# In nibble (3,4,5) the intensity of the torches is stored #
//# OrumQuestBarrier nibble (0,1,2) stores the color of the barriers #
