Row and Syd, you've both done so well at all this! Syd, you'll run into Josephina when you solve the elves vs the dwarves bit, something to look forward to. And as a wizard, don't forget that disc spell - will really be helpful to you in the Wastelands.

Oh, Marianne. If I had known I might get that house I would have been more careful with the cow! I will need a pooper scooper in my inventory. Do you guys remember Finn? When I told him I removed the curse from the abbey, he offered to wash my undies as a reward! The nerve of the guy to think I was afraid clearing out that building! I still need help with the following: -finding the solution to the plague problem (can't get into the doctor's rooms) -need to solve the Tingal mystery (Lt. Roberts just tells me to stop loitering; nothing was in the chicken coop unless I picked the stuff up a long time ago and unloaded it because of a heavy inventory - just can't remember what I picked up; and I still need to find Tingal's secret depot) -need to get the Heart of the Dragon - the door to this room is locked and I don't know how to unlock it Syd, have you found what Hugh's key belongs to? Off to wash my own undies.

Update:
I got into the doctor's rooms and found 2 cures. I even tried to duplicate one back in Aleroth's pond but it didn't work. Had to settle for just 2. So my quest log doesn't show that the plague quest is finished. I wonder if I have to find Seth, the knight who told me about this problem in the first place, before it shows as a completed quest. Anyone remember where Seth is?
My quest log also shows the contaminated fields quest as incomplete. I've told Hugh about the orc that was poisoning the fields, told his wife too, broken all the poison barrels in the cave, but the quest still shows as not done. Any ideas of how I can show it as solved?
I am now on level 36 and have a reputation of 25. How high can the reputation number go?
Oh, almost forgot, I pulled the sword out of the stone in Dark Forest. I killed the demon many times, but he comes back to life! How do you put the sword back in the stone?
What does everyone mean by Wastelands? Are those the regions on top of the white cliffs? I don't know how to get up there yet.
How are ya doing, Syd?

Row, you go to the Wastelands after the divine ceremony. You needed to find out where that key fit from the cave in re the poison quest. Go to the inn (Blue Boar I think it is) and go to the basement - the key should fit a door there. Then talk to the bartender. You aren't supposed to be able to solve the plague quest. There are always just two potions. However, if you have the pickpocketing skill, you can pickpocket one of the plague antidotes and give it to the third person - and then the quest will be solved.

Syd is still wandering around trying to find Goemoe the wayward Lizardman I convinced Mardaneus and that teleporter stone stealing imp to join the council of seven but when I went to find Geomoe, Otto said he split - I think he must have gotten wind of my looking for him. You have to put the sword back in the stone while the lights are still glowing around it. That way you trap the ghosty inside for ever and ever (or until you replay DD) I made level 36 and have a reputation of 40 I think - lost a bunch when Janus booted me out of the castle - the schmuck Anyway I'm off to find that rat Geomoe.

Rowan need to find out who hired that orc. So need to find out what that key unlocks, also. Be sure to talk to Hugh first. Get to the Wastelands when you get blessed. Once there, can't complete any unfinished quests except if the teleporters are still missing. Not sure where you would find them there, but the quest did show up first time decided to try the blessing. Am up to trying the blond hair guy named M? and not doing too good. Can't use magic not even healing magic, poison weapon, protective, or traps without them disappearing on you. Syd go after some of the other members. Once you get a couple of them done, will let you get him. Can always do the easiest one for points--the wizard. Did anyone find the shrine that gives you what you deserve? Save game first in case don't like what you get.

Syd, on a couple of those you need to look more than once in the scrying stones. Acornia, where are you? Do you mean you're fighting the black ring now?

Yes, got three of them done and working on the fourth. Like the way each fortress is color coded by a crystal. Gone up two levels just getting their favorite guards knocked off. Got most of them done in two others though left before finding out needed the ring member.

Oh, oh - this has me nervous You mean you can't use magic at the end? I haven't been developing my fighting skills a bit - and I really don't have any wonderful weapons. What is needed to make it through the baddies at the end so I can start working on it now rather than later?

Of course you can, Syd. I used the disc spell (plus my trusty divine sword) until the very end. It's just that some spells are less effective against certain characters.

Everytime I tried the person disappears, my scorpions turn into white infinity figures, other opponents become little blue guys. The main one disappeared altogether.

So you found her! Isn't she something else? You can only kill her by minute degrees on her lifeline. I got to a point where I totally ignored that dreadknight she conjures up, and just repeatedly zapped her. I used that elemental strike on her. When my blue or red line got too low, up the ladder I went. The most tedious part was waiting for the bed to work. Syd, how do you put the sword back in the stone? Do you have it in your hand as part of your armour? Or do you drag it to the stone from your inventory? I've tried both ways and haven't had any luck.

Syd, Josephina has got to be the toughest character in the game Keep at it though, and you'll get her. Rowan, I'm not real sure why you cant put the sword back - maybe the stone needs to be lit up. Nothing happened when you clicked it? Acornia, I remember that the guy was tougher than the other members except for Josephina, and didn't stay put, but I know I used discs against him.What did you try besides the scorpion traps?

I put the sword back finally. I think I was just too slow the other times because the ghost kept reappearing and I had to rekill him again and again.
I finally was able to open that door to retrieve the dragon heart. The lever for that door was somewhere else in the dungeon area, not near the door at all. Is the Dragon Heart one of the holy items that I need to collect? I also have a special dagger. Is that one of the Holy items also?
I have sent 5 characters to the council already. I've just the dwarf and the lizard left. I've found the dwarf but he wants me to do something for him first. I don't want to continue with these guys until I clean up some of my earlier quests.
1) Anyone know where Seth is? I think I need to tell him that the plague is cured. 2) Where is Shrimpo? 3) Need to find the doctor. Hugh sent me to look for him. He is not in the sick area, nor in his house. 4) Need to find the Penumbra knife. 5) Need to find the courtesans.
Syd, have you found all of the dragon armour? I have the shield, but am not sure of the rest.
Acornia, how far are you? You are probably much further ahead and I wouldn't recognize some of your quests. Did you finish all your old quests before doing the council blessing?
So far my most powerful magic is elemental strike. I have it at level 3. I also like elemental hail.
Nickie, how many times have you played this game?

Well I got Josephina finally. Sure did waste a lot of energy on those death knights. I finally just ran past them and concentrated on her. I've found all of the council members but haven't hit the gong yet. I still have two quests to finish before I do that. - The Treasure Map quest - Find the necklace for Elean 1. I think you tell Commander Ralph about the plague. I don't remember telling Seth anything. 2. Shrimpo is found in the graveyard but you have to "call" him. 3. I never did find the doctor again after I got the cures. 4. You actually have the dagger - what you need from Penumbra is a book. Did you rescue her? 5. Can't honestly remember where I found the "women" I think it was in the cellar of one of the guilds. I have three pieces of the dragon armor - the shield, belt and gloves. I think the dragon heart must go with the dragon armor because it wasn't required for the holy weapons. I have no idea where the rest of the armor is or even what it is

So is this the longest thread there's ever been on this forum?

4 Find the dagger in the captain of the guards' office or the room where they keep the weapons. Know the magical lockpicks were on the desk.
5 Need to talk to Rob or the bartender to get the password and the location of the courtesans.

Got the dragon breastplate last night and the dwarven blacksmith told me to come back in the morning and he'll have it repaired. I think I took him literally because I went to bed after that. Somehow I don't think he meant "my tomorrow" Row when you picked up the dagger did you get a comment on the fact that it was part of "three and you had to sacrific two in order to get one"? (or something like that). If so then the dagger you have is one of the holy weapons. I think I sorta have the general area of where to start looking for the treasure. We'll see.

Syd I'll be interested if you find the treasure, let us know. Also, the darn dagger was the one I couldn't get Row, so I hope you have it. If you think you sold it go back to your people you sell to and get it back. Hey you two, before you know it You'll be Divine, Simply Divine.
