Do you have a pillow in your cell, Row - and if you do, have you looked under it?

Well, I got out of jail by invoking a heavenly gift. I had one skill left to choose and that worked. However, it really tarnished my reputation which is lower than I'd like it to be anyway, so I replayed from a saved game and avoided the jail trip. Anyway, now you all know an alternate way of getting out of jail. I found the courtesans. Couldn't help feeling like a pimp. Popcorneater, I found Penumbra's dagger. Mpenzak, the merchant who had his wagon burned, had it, so I bought it from him. Corrina showed me how to summon a demon and then banish. I think that gave me the banish skill. Syd, I have that holy dagger, but I don't have the other 2 items. Any hints about what they are and where? Syd, where did you find the dragon armour? I have 2 map pieces. Does anyone know the location of all of them? I've found and released Goemoe, and have only the dwarf left. I still want to solve some other issues before getting around to him. I need to find out about Tingalf. I need to find Shrimpo. Haven't a clue what to do about him. How do I find out who murdered the duke. That's still a mysery to me.

On Tingalf, take the path that leads to the orc territory and should come across a broken down wagon. Do as they ask and when you return, this will set you on the path leading to Tingalf. Also pick up a couple more quests that will lead to him. About like the poison harvest quest except it's broken down more.
Shrimpo, in the cursed abbey graveyard, should find a circle (sort of) of gravestones. Need to read them all. I had to read them twice before he showed.
Duke's murder--need to join the assassin's guild and to do that need to do something for the rich guy who's name eludes me. But need to steal something from the other guy though don't expect to find out who paid the assassin.
Never resist a generous impulse.

Hi Row
Okay the holy weapons are : the dagger, an amulet (found in the Elven ruins - did you get the quest to find the elven artifact from those two guys on the side of the road in the Dark Forect? If so - the amulet is in that same unerground location), and the sword (this one took me three days to find - it's in Iona's dungeon) If you need the exact location - holler -
Dragon armor - Gloves are found at the Elven Burial ground Belt is found at Malcom's in Veredists - remember the house where you fell through the rotted floor boards? It's down there in a locked chest or cupboard. Breast plate (just got this myself) you have to finish the dwarf quest before you get this one. Just make sure when you pick up the "evidence" you show it to the dwarf king first or he won't tell you where to find the breastplate) Helmet - you get that from the dwarf king after you get the breast plate repaired) - this is the point I'm at right now.
Map pieces : one is found on the body of a dead man in the dungeons under Veredists, buy one off Mpenzak (the street vendor in Veredists), one is found on a table in the Spider cave, one is in a lokced room at the dwarven Halls. The room is tricky to find - it's in the extreme SW portion - as you head into the evil dwarves lair - look right - there is a locked gate - the map piece is in there. I had to increase my lock pick skill to 3 I think in order to get the gate open.

Thanks, Syd. What is the holy amulet's name? I have found so many amulets that I've cast many off because of weight of my inventory. I think that is one of the main problems I've had. I've found many things and then dumped them because of weight. <img border="0" alt=" " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> ALso feel free to give me the sword location. I just don't feel like searching 4 levels of dungeon again. Is this the Singer sword? I never found it. Are these identified items, or should I be picking up every single unidentified item?

Finding the amulet would have alerted you just like the dagger, you would have been told it's one of three etc. - so you probably haven't found it yet. In the elven ruins underground you'll see a spider web - it's in there.
Okay the sword - go back into the dugeon through the pit in the graveyard (where you came up from the dungeon). Once underground head east then north. You'll find a skeleton hanging on a wall with a pentagram and a lit candle. Click on the candle (this is what threw me for three days) - it will open up a secret room. The sword is in there. And no this isn't the Singer sword.

Zanthia, I never thought that record would be broken.I have a feeling this may go on a bit more...Row, sometimes when you're in jail, you'll find lockpicks under the pillow. Handy thing, that!

Row do you get the impression that they think we blather a lot? Anyway, don't forget acornia is also playing this with us - well sorta - she's ahead, but still Row, I think Ingie is talking about Sir Dante's house in Verdistis on the Duke's murder. Have you talked to him yet? You're in the wrong place for the gloves. It's hidden in the burial grounds. The one that's past the elven village - there's a wooden mound that when you run your cursor over it, it lights up - the gloves are in there. Nope, no dragon boots, leggins or other such stuff - just the items I mentioned (and that was according to the dwarven king and I figger he should know) Okay I finshed the treasure map quest - guess I was done, I found the treasure and the room with the tombstone and the teleporter stone which transported me back to the opening of the cave. Now my only quest that I haven't done and it will probably stay undone is finding that dratted necklace for my elven lover (and at this point in time, he ain't worth it). I have no idea where to even begin to look so I think I'm just going to gather a few more potions and head back to the council of seven and hit that gong. May the force be with me

Row to get into the room to steal what you need from Sir Patrick's go to the west side of his house - look carefully on the ground - there is a portal stone halfway hidden (I can't remember exactly where it is). That will get you into the room. There are only two levels in the evil dwarf caves. I'm trying to remember if this evil baddie froze me and then ran into another room or it was another evil baddie Anyway - there is a room that you need to find that has the Axe Stone in it. There is also another room on this same level with a pentagram that you need to find a manuscript that explains what happened (that's what you need to take to the dwarven king to offically get the dragon armor quest). Arrgghh - I didn't write down where I found Tingal's stash. I think it was down in the sewers in Verdists. There were a bunch of bandits that I had to kill and I took a letter from one of them named Pedro (I think) I can go back down there and check - his body should still be there (unless the rats got to him)

On the side of one of those houses is a portal you can use to get in- it's hidden in the bushes.The papers you need are in that house. In the sewers in the northeast end you should run into a bunch of thieves - one of them is Pedro- when you fight him, he will drop a note, and that is the evidence you need. What do you mean about the dwarf cave - what is happening there that makes you think you're missing something? Remember that like Josephina, the Black Ring members are only temporarily defeated and they all do vanish.

Thanks Row,and of course you guys aren't talking too much -that's what the forum is for! Believe me, it is fun to hear about your experiences playing a new genre. Like Zanthia pointed out, Jean and I did much the same thing with Zanzarah - and Zanzarah is an incredible game, really worth a try. Syd, if you really want to do the necklace thing and you haven't gone on already, you go to the jeweler in the dwarven halls,and he will make a duplicate from the picture of the lost amulet.When you take it back to your love, he/she doesn't have a clue it isn't the real thing.

Just think what would happen if Row and I ever played Morrowind - the board might collapse bwaha-hahahahahahaha And thanks nickie - I had actually thought about visiting that dwarf but not to have him duplicate the picture (but it makes sense since he made the brooch for Sir Patrick's wife), but because I remembered he was a jeweler. And no I haven't hit the old gong yet so I can still go do that.

There's also a depot outside the town that leaves a hint to finding the one in town. Don't know if you need to find this one or not. It's in a cave and only have to fight your way out once you find the evidence.
As for fighting the black ring, am down to using a sword and potions. Does the grey or purple potions that have black mesh on them do anything?

Acornia, they change your statistics dramatically- adding and taking away, so you have to be careful. If you find one at this point that gives you high spiritual resistance, it would be helpful, but I don't remember which are which! Ingie you're right! I hadn't even noticed. I'm just a shadow of my former self. Do you think one of these survivors pinched it?
