Hi Lucca, a dark elf can learn leather or chain to master level. You might be able to get the skill at the Tannery in the first village.

Hey, Smiley! Glad you're going to join us. We ARE fun, aren't we? You finished this game before, didn't you?

Barb

Lucca, glad to hear there is another dark elf to maybe give me some advice. I think she can use chain armor. I found some leather armor but she won't use it. I see Frederick has a chainmail vest. Maybe I can trade him.

WOW, what a great board. Glad to see so many are joining us. I just had Cauri Blackstone join my party and she had armor. Her level is which is much higher then the rest of my part. I had a vampire in the beginning and I wish I knew she could levitate. The Menatour was a good fighter, but do to not being able to where armor such as gloves, boots and head gear he died pretty fast.

All of a sudden I can't cast any spells. This happened since I aquired Cauri B. Does anyone know what the problem may be?
Thanks,
Pat

I forgot to mention that Cauri is a Black Elf.

Well I finished cleaning out the Abandoned Temple and got the snake statue and the book - now I just have to deliver it to the right folks. I now have a cleric, necromancer and knight in my party. So far we're doing pretty good. Does anyone know if you can get into the other three chests in that big room in the temple? I can get one open but when I try for the others I fall through the floor.

If your where I think you are I traveled along the edge to open the chests, I think it's 3. You can't step on the red hot spots. Just go through to the door and if you fall through just go back and try again. You doing well because I had to go back to get the snake statue.

Thanks Pat - my son got me to the chests - we jumped I thought I did well but I also had to go back. I had the Prophecy of the Sun book not the Snake book. Missed one chest

Pokey - a note about armor - your dark elf is ELIGIBLE to wear leather or chain armor, but she can't use it until she pays for the training. Go to the Tannery & pay the guy to learn the skill. Then she can wear it.

Pat - I don't have any idea why you can't cast spells. Having Cauri shouldn't make any difference. Are you still having the problem?

I made it to Ravenshore, then went to Garrote Gorge & got my first dragon. I couldn't handle the Troll Tomb yet, so I went back to Dagger Wound to do some quests there. I don't have the snake statue yet, either, Pat.

Chests? In the room with the red floor? No wonder I didn't find the snakey book thing. Which one is it in?

I just killed all the dire wolves and got horribly diseased. Bah! I'm going to go get meself a dragon and get rid of Simon. He's useless.
I want to sell all those weapons I got but I can't find a place that will buy them in Ravenshore
I also can't find a place that will teach me leather. Should I learn chain or leather? Which is better?

A good site to check things up is

http://www.flamestryke.com/mm8/flamestrykes_mm8.html (just klick on which place your character are in) Since it provides maps on where everything is.

You can learn leather and chain at the polished shield (armor shop) in Ravenshore.

It depends actually. some of the party members can become Master and Grandmaster in leather, and those levels gives diffrent bonus skills. Chain provides more armor tho, but like the leather, chain gives its own skill bonuses.

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????
