Thanks for the tip. Sneaky of you to hide those boulders there. Now I can't get the last piece of driftwood or the last chest in the upper right corner of Doolig village. I think I need Wind Focus but when do I get it? Armageddon, er, Armadillo, er, Armegmus is level 18 at the moment. Thanks again.

Did you check inside the Trading Co. for the driftwood? =) (And just so it doesn't drive you crazy, you're spot on about the chest in Doolig...you'll have to come back for it)

[Evilmumrah]

I found the errant piece of driftwood -- I just hadn't explored all of the areas. OK, on that chest -- I am pretty sure I'm going to have to do a lot of that later in the game. Thanks so much. I really love the game -- quite entertaining. I have had to scratch my head a few times over the puzzles.

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that you are one evil dude. I am now trying to get past all those soldiers and my timing kind of sucks. I keep getting caught ... But will soldier on.

Glad to hear you're on your way again.

Call me crazy, but that's something I always enjoyed in rpg's...finding a secret that I didn't have access to right away, and keeping a notebook or a piece of paper on hand to jot it down. It feels satisfying to cross the items off your list later, at least in my opinion =). And the head-scratching puzzles...that's a good thing, right? I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the game, and I look forward to hearing back from you again.


EDIT: Just read your most recent post as I posted this. I'm not sure when you downloaded the game, but I posted the newest version on Friday night, which makes it so that if you're caught more than a few times in a room, it starts giving you the option to fight the guards. If you have a minute and the interest, you could download that version and carry your save files over...it may also lessen some future frustration in a puzzle I altered later on. Now would an evil dude have suggested that? =) Enjoy.

No, an evil dude would not do that. ;-) I will try the one I had the most trouble with and if I can't get through I will download the new version. There were a few times last night when I would have preferred to fight but I got through some of the rooms. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks. Oh, and yes, the head scratching is a good thing.

I am trying to break the lock in the warehouse in Dagron. Let me get this straight ... the puzzle completely resets after each attempt?

[Evilmumrah]

I finally cracked the locks but I am leaning towards you being evil after all. :-)

You love it.

[Evilmumrah]

I know.

[Evilmumrah]

The pendulum is pretty much swung back to you being a totally evil dude. Nayrin Ruins. Room full of switches. No clue. Need I say more?

Is this the ruins east of Dagron across the sinking sands? If so, check your inventory -> special items

[Evilmumrah]

Yes. Hmmmm. Will have to see what I might have there.

[Evilmumrah]

I feel so silly .......

[Evilmumrah]

Love the pony ride.

[Evilmumrah]

Wow, you've done it again. I have the faded scroll for the Nayrin Ruins SE of Noor. Got through the first door but now I can't seem to understand the clue for the second. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12. And the thing with the brothers -- what?!?

I'm happy to help out if you like, or I can let you stew over it a bit longer if that's what you prefer. The important things to remember are that it is optional, and that you will be able to come back to it.

[Evilmumrah]

Yes, but if I come back to it will I have more information? I will stew over it a bit longer. There must be some pattern or something. I will let you know. And as for being optional, so were all those locked chests and doors but I worked on them anyway .....

[Evilmumrah]

Hmph. Got them. I went to my husband and resident math wizard for help on those two doors and after analyzing the sequence to death he came up with the answer. I actually got the one about the brothers myself. He says to tell you you are twisted and evil. :-) This game is great!

That's great news! (Especially since I was never going to tell you ;-) But I never doubted you for a minute.

Be sure and tell your husband thank you for me. (My wife said the same thing about me when she was playing)

And thanks.
