Before Entering the Cave Network

1-I have triggered Genevieve's dialogue re: cataracts but I don't see Geneware anywhere?
2-Nothing in the secret room in Jamar's place (SR #25)
3-Can the red monkey puzzle still be done after the volcano erupts? I let the monkey steal from me dozens of times (entering and re-entering that particular map) and still never got Caius to say 'This time the monkey didn't steal from us.' I finally moved on hoping I'll be able to return at some time in the future.

1. Hmmm... I never got the cataracts comment....yet. And I'm getting ready to enter the Elf forest soon.

Spoiler: show

GeneWare is her house that appears due north of the town (it's very obvious), but I don't remember what triggers its appearance.

2. I couldn't find anything either. (EDITED: There is something about this room if Q23 is acquired. But be careful because there seems to be a glitch for completing this quest via the SR)

3. I don't think you can complete the stealing monkey quest after the volcano and here's why I think that.

Spoiler: show

First, when the guide says "Exit/Enter" it means exit the entire ruins and go back in. I did what you did several times. Just leaving the map doesn't trigger the comment by Caius. After the Volcano erupts, you can only get to one floor to complete the second monkey quest if you did everything right up to that point.

Thanks kimo. Have access to Genewares now. The second step was in another thread posted by Indy. "Sleep on it."
I'll spend a little more time with the red monkey before giving up on that particular quest and moving on from latest save.

Edit-And the very first time I reentered the ruins, I got what I was looking for. Thanks again. I'll try to speed up now and catch up to everyone else.
