Syd, Here's a quest for you: You can have my elven love IF you can defeat ALL the monsters for me where the Holy Grail is. This elf is a bit fickle. I tried to butter him up by giving him a ring, but I think I wasted the value of it. I think I've found the potion that Gareth was looking for. Now can anyone refresh my memory where Gareth is? That is such an old quest but I've lost the person. I think I need a secretary. I went back under the Cursed Abbey, and still can't figure out how to open the locked door on the left side wall.

Syd You'll find charms, unless you have a lot of loot I wouldn't buy them, but I think I did once-had some moola! A lot of the armor you can get may have charm quality to it. So hold onto those little green and pink charm disc, and level up your points, like all skills. Oh, if I told her the wrong place and name, someone help her out please. BTW; just wanted to know how much fun was that going in to see the dwarf king Talk about bare behind!

I'll check out the charm skill - I remember seeing it but didn't know what it was for. I do have some green and pink disks and I think a couple blue ones. And I didn't even notice the king's bare posterior Guess I need to go back and have a second look Row I got the grail but I didn't kill that egyptain creature - after dying about four times I decided to just teleport out of there while the teleporting was good Maybe when I'm a whole bunch stronger I'll go back and have a go at him. Oh and I found my true love [sigh] Still not sure about these mixed marriages <img border="0" alt="[kiss]" title="" src="graemlins/kiss.gif" />

Wow Syd, you're good! Glad you could answer all that. Yes, by all means get the charms, they are extremely helpful to your statistics. You might want to leave a few spots open on whatever armor you like a lot and will be keeping, as once you're in the Wastelands, you can get much more powerful ones. Especially helpful will be those with spiritual resistance. So you could trade a bunch of the puny ones and get a good one, if you've found only puny ones. And, once you rescue Zandalor, it will open up the council area for you.

Try the elf encampment for the boar though he found me before got there.
Never resist a generous impulse.

I guess the boar wanders - I found him around the alchemist's house, but I have heard of others finding him around the warrior's guild. Rowan, the scroll was in one of the first rooms to the west of the big room in a trash heap. The charms are different colors to designate their power - I've forgotten, but I think it was gold that was best. I'll look in my notes to see if I have something on it, if someone else can't answer. Rowan, I'm a little confused about your room question. Do you mean you activated the three (edit, sorry should be two not three) levers on the one level, and have gone down to the next floor and can't get in the one room?

Thanks so much for coming by Marianne - I've been searching my notes for that info and not finding it. Sorry for the confusion Rowan, I thought you were still doing the cursed abbey part. I see in my notes that the scroll is in the very next room down the hall to where you saw the dragonrider (to the left of that main room), but I am not seeing anything and can't remember about the room you can't get into.I don't recall having to go through any locked doors to find the dragon, though.

This is so funny, I feel like I'm playing this again too! Syd, not the Dwarf King's bare bottom, they made me take off all armor I was down to a G-string, so embarrassing, good thing the shape of my gal wasn't mine!! I had to laugh about the boar, I could have zapped right then and there. But true love won him over. Syd and Row, way to go, you all are sweeping up those bad guys..You'll be Divine before you know it.

Thanks for being so patient, Nickie. I still haven't found the imp scroll, still can't get into the locked room under the Imp castle, or the locked door under the Cursed Abby. I've given up on them for now. I also haven't found the lizard scroll to activate the Verdisti sewer teleporter. The good news is that I found Zandalor and he took me to that Council place. I am now looking for the Group of Seven. I'm in the cave with only Josephina left to kill. I've killed all the other evil dwarves. What I really need to know now is what weapon or magic trick works best on killing her. I've already died a thousand deaths by her. I'm at level 34.

Sorry you had a problem with those, Row, and wish I could help more. Are you sure it's necessary to get into the locked room at the imp's place? Did you backtrack and see if the Dragon was in a room you had already been in? And you did get the eye on the other floor first, right? Re the scroll, did you see the trash heap in the next room to where you fought the dragonrider? There's the main room, then you're kind of in a hallway, and then a smaller room? Great that you found Zandalor! Did you happen to look in the other rooms at the council place and find a hiding imp? Like one of the top rooms to the left? Josephina is a tough customer! I reloaded many, many times. What worked for me, is I took a black potion to be invisible, got up right next to her, and started zapping her with spells- can't recall which, but I think the one that does three at one time (lightning, poison and ?). If she sees you first it makes it much harder. If I was losing, I hotfooted it back to the ladder to get healthy on the above floor, and then did the same thing again, since she doesn't get healthy at the same time. A weapon with freeze on it works great. I didn't use any of them, but I heard blind works well on her, the warrior special move works well, and scorpion traps too. Finally after days and dozens of attempts, I got lucky.

Row you've been a busy little adventurer I am on my way right now to Stormfist Castle to do battle with the Divine One Hopefully you nailed all the baddies so I can just breeze through. I'm just a scooch away from Level 34 - Oh brother this Josephine doesn't sound good

Syd and Row, She's the worse and I mean the worse. Follow Nickie's suggestions And Zanthia's and you will survive. She's the toughest cookie out there in my modest opinion. It took me about 3-4 days to get rid of her, lot's of small hits and saves. Have lots of potion with you, make sure weapons are repaired and lots of strong spell cast. Good luck you two Ingie _________________________________________________ Playing Morrowind Finished Divine Divinity and Zanzarah GhostMaster on hold for patch Summoner waiting on me

Just made it out of the dungeon and through the graveyard so I'm off to buy more potions and get my armor repaired before I try anything else. Then it's back underneath to try and find Zandalor. I think Iona put a stupid spell on me before she locked me in the cell however When I found my stuff in the chest I had heart failure when I saw that I had 1,569 items (my back hurts just thinking about all the stuff I was carrying) and I started moving each item individually back into my inventory, thinking that it was going to take all night to do this. After about 15 minutes of draging inventory (yes people, I'm slow sometimes) I finally said to myself, "self, click on it instead!" Well, darn if it didn't just zip in after that

I did the same thing, Syd As you are walking out of the graveyard, on one of the paths close by you should meet a salesman. Don't miss that quick quest (finding Shrimpo) for a real good laugh. Did you meet the former King's ghost?

Whew, glad I'm not the only one that had to be hit over the head with a 2 x 4 I missed the salesman at the graveyard - can I go back and meet him? Yep I saw the dead king's ghost - gave him the good news and he disappeared on me. I'm right now roaming around the Council of Seven Chambers looking for the succubus. It's sooooo nice to have my magic back - I was a lost puppy down in them there dungeons without it. Found the teleporter stone but it's not working - something is blocking it (don't ask me what - that's just what my self said). Guess I need to go smack who's ever causing all this trouble

Oh way to go Row!!! I haven't even found Josephina yet - just beat the succubus and got poor Zandalar released from his cage. Now I'm off to find council members. I want my teleporter pyramids <img border="0" alt=" " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> I did activate the Council of Seven teleporter stone so at least I can get out of there if I want to. Looks like now I just need to activate the one at the Imps Deserted castle - where ever that is
