You follow the letter's instructions, and procure some galena ore. Most Egyptians are familiar with how to render down this valuable metal for paints and crafted objects, and you make quick work of it.

This must be the place. You see the warehouse in the mouth of the caldera, and spot someone watching you from its shadows.  A shady-looking man steps forward, his face hidden by a drooping turban. He notes the satchel you still carry, and grunts at you.  
  
The letter continued, "Use the purifying characteristics of limestone to purge the grossest flavors from the tree grape stamens and the powder of galena. There is a warehouse to the south, beside a crater where the finest limestone can be found. You will find what you need there."

"You'll need one of these," he says, offering you a limestone mortar. "You might want to take some of the limestone with you, too. They need it at the house."
  
It's another journey, but the threat to Egypt is real, and you know every moment improves the flavor and character of that wine you tucked into a barrel a short time ago. Anticipation makes every flavor more intense.

You found a key! The key is: A Limestone Mortar

Here is your next clue:

This must be the place. You see the warehouse in the mouth of the caldera, and spot someone watching you from its shadows. A shady-looking man steps forward, his face hidden by a drooping turban. He notes the satchel you still carry, and grunts at you.

"You'll need one of these," he says, offering you a limestone mortar. "You might want to take some of the limestone with you, too. They need it at the house."

(Hint: If you do not have your own wine bottles, take 5 limestone with you. You'll want it soon!)

The papyrus letter instructed you that the slurry of dikbas stamens and lead can be purified in the mortar, removing its intense flavors. There's just one twist:

"But for full potency, it must be done before the eyes of Seth."

The god of evil! The god of chaos!

The slouching man in the drooping turban points to the southwest, down towards the Nile. "He's waiting for you."

(Hint: ...at 806, -2319)
