Thanks, Barb. I have my leather armor and shield now. I think I must be missing something because my whole party is dying in the first room of the Abandoned Temple. We were able to fight the Pirates earlier, but seem to have no chance here. Any tips?

Lucca, snake idol......your in the room with the pressure plates. Look on the walls and you will see a square. Press the square and the chest with the snake idol will be revealed.

Barb, I went back to a saved game and I'm OK now. I'm looking for the dragon egg. I only know of one dragon cave and it's in Garote Gorge. Is there another one?

I'm in the game right around where I saw the cut scene. Don't you have to choose a side? Will there be some sort of easier way to travel eventually. Traveling takes up so much time. My poor feet, and I hate to fly.

You should be able to clear out the first room by killing as many coatls as you can, then running out & resting. Try to stand on the stairs & shoot them with bows. Did you pick up the vampire at the Adventurers Guild? She has a good spell that should wipe out a few at a time.If you got the quest to deliver the cure disease potions from Aislen, that should get you a level. Another easy quest is to find Rohntax's brother.

Glad you're going to play, Smiley. Are you going to be ready for M&M 7 next? I sure am!

Barb

I see that I forgot to assign my skill points in the beginning and I am about to go to level 4 since I finished two quests. Ready to try again. I do have the vampire.

Where do you get more food for rest? I have 7 now.

Lucca, the snake book is in a chest just after you come out of the room where you had to push those buttons to move the walls around (this is before you enter the room with the red line and four chests in each corner.)

Oh dear I just picked up Simon - you mean he's worthless????

Hi Pat, the dragon egg is in the dragon cave in Garrote Gorge, in the dragon leader's cavern (in the north part of the cave). The way to get around easily is to have Town Portal and Lloyd's Beacon. You'll need a necromancer with water magic to learn those spells.

Pokey - you can buy food at the Grog and Grub tavern. It's in the NW part of the city.

Syd - Simon is a good fighter, so I'd keep him around for awhile. You can dump him later when you get more powerful.

Barb

Argh, where do I find the cave that has the dragons in Garotte's Gorge?
I can't remember

It's north of the dragon hunters camp, near the river. If you come in from the Rravenshore side, cross the bridge, then follow the river north.

Barb

Hi all,

The cave is on top of the cliffs so walk along the river and look up to see it.

Sounds like all of you are doing great.

I would play but its to soon for me since I just played all of them 6-9 not that long ago.

Have to wait a while before I play again but by then maybe someone will be ready to play again.

Thanks, I (finally) found it and got myself a dragon. I think I need to get Master Dragon Ability before I get him to fly though, at least as far as I remember.

Now that I've found the Dragon's cave I can't find the smugglers' cavern. I know it's in Ravenshore but I can't find it.

Oh, and Simon's not really useless. But who wouldn't rather have a dragon

Finished the abandoned temple. I couldn't handle that bunch of creatures in the maze, so will return later.

How in the heck do I get to Rgna Isle?
Barb, where do I find Lloyds Beacon and Town Portal? Is it a spell that one of my characters can cast? I think I have a scroll of LLoyds Beacon but how do I use it.
Barb, you sure have your hands full with all of us. LOL. I think Magin and VHL are busy too. Didn't you guys also play before. Thanks so much for all your help.
Lucca, happy to see you active again. I've missed you.

Hi Pat, you can't get to Regna until later in the game. Lloyd's Beacon and Town Portal are water spells you can learn. A necromancer can learn them to grandmaster level & a dark elf can learn air, fire, & water only to master level. Of course, your character must know Water magic.

Both spells can be bought at the elemental guild in Alvar. The spells available change frequently, so if you can't find one one day, come back later.

No problem with your spelling - I can figure out what you're saying.

Barb

Wolves....well done, but waaaayy to many of them. Nearly done with the den, just the pack master to defeat.

My first bounty assignment was a dragon! I quickly reloaded and got something reasonable.

I have a recipe for "Pure Accuracy". I can't figure out how to make it. Can only get one ingredient in a bottle--I have all of them. I do have the alchemy skill. Is this potion permanent?

I finished the dire wolves den, but three of my party are now cursed. I found one potion, but I guess I need to get expert alchemy for my vampire to cure the rest. I found out how to mix up the potions.

Yeah, it's permanent. And you have to mix the ingredients. And to be able to get the "Pure" potions you have to be Grandmaster in Alchemy, which only the Necromancer can be.

Or if you can afford it, visit the temple

Does anyone know where I can pick up a Dark Elf? I visited the Adventurer's Inn in Rivenshore and the same Vampire that was in Blooddrop is there (she must have followed me) I really could use a good archer - my group is a tad weak in that area (actually at this point my group is a tad weak in all areas)

You can either pick up one in one of the houses around the stables in Alvar, or you can do a quest in Murmurwoods, where you get a Dark Elf named Cauri (already is quite upgraded)

I should have used the Necromancer instead of the Vampire then. It is hard to keep track of everything in this game. Didn't think of going to the temple.

Hello;
I just picked up Cauri, and she's like level 50. She is quite cool actually, the rest of my party are wimps compared to her. I had to get rid of Frederick Talimere for her.
Oddly, she looks exactly like my dark elf. They could be twins if mine wasn't so weak.
I can't get town portal or lloyd's beacon, because I don't have grand master water. I can't get grand master water unless I get promoted to liche, I can't get promoted to liche unless I find the guy who promotes me to liche. Who promotes me to liche?
Help!
I also killed all the ogres but I can't get a reward for that quest because she keeps telling me there's more.
And I have to take Dyson with me if I want to inflitrate the Temple of the sun, but I can't think of who to get rid of, I want all of my characters.
Decisions, decisions. Wow, I'm really whining a lot today.

If you dismiss characters, are they gone for good? I don't know if I want Cauri as that would be a second Dark Elf. Is that wise? I need Frederick for healing--very handy.

Pokey I thought I read that if you dismissed someone they would appear at the Adventurer's Inn again. Haven't tried that myself however.

When you dismiss someone, they go to the Adventurer's Inn in either town & you can pick them up again if you want.

Lucca, the necromancer promotion is given by Taleshire in Shadowspire, on the west side of town. You have to find a book for him & get a lich jar. You can use Town Portal at master level, but you need grandmaster for Lloyd's Beacon. If you can't get the reward for killing all the ogres, you must have missed one. Did you clear out the ogre fortress?

I just picked up my third dragon & am working on getting the hearts. I had to dismiss my second lich. I'm keeping Frederick for the rest of the game. You can only have 5 characters so if you want to have 3 dragons, you can only have 2 other characters. I wouldn't be without a lich for TP and LB & I know I need a priest for healing in the final dungeons.

Barb

Yikes, I couldn't think of getting rid of Cauri, she's got some really good skills. And she has this funky attack that does around 100 damage. She has master water so i think i'll just ditch the Necromancer I have and take another dragon. The vampire does the healing spells, so I might get rid of him and take Dyson, unless I can get the temple of the sun quest without him... can I?
I can always go back for my vampire later when I need levitate.
