I can't sell anything to Marion; I'm covered in muck; I have a wizard's spot on my forehead which refuses to come off; I've been arrested and escaped, thanks to Jacquilnoss (I think that's how you spell it... Why can't any of the spelling be simple in this?!); and now I'm just stuck. My inventory is as follows:

From reading the other messages, I've figured that I need to visit a sage, and then pick up the boulder, to do this - one problem though. Where's the sage?!?!?! Oh, and I've just killed the wraith. Is that going to help me?

Assuming you finished off the dragon -- you can then ascend the chasm, and there's something you can do in the room past there. You have what you need, but it takes patience.
