Yes, it's me again. I'm at level 32 or 33. I made it into a castle and underground near the imp's teleporter. Defeated the guy riding the dragon (finally) and found a bunch of gold and jewels and whatnot. Is the imp's teleporter scroll supposed to be here somewhere? It seems I can see those little red enemy x's beyond the walls of the few rooms I had access to so there has got to be more to this.

Ack ack ack phhhht! What am I missing?

You'll find the scroll at the north end of the castle map, in the center, (to the left of where the dragon rider room is) where there is a bunch of garbage - either click on the bodies or the garbage, can't remember.

Whimper, I want out of these catacombs.
I've decided it's them or me, darn it's seems to always be them. Marion, you and Nickie keep my spirits up. I am so slow at this ok, drat, I was going to bed, but talked myself out of it again.
Wish be well a deep deep well to get me out of here!!

Ingie, barely at level 8, no I didn't miss a #

Ingie, truly the dungeons seem like they take forever, but you're closer to being finished with them then you think. Do a lot of running and take black potions and you can avoid a lot, if you need to. Put that head up high, lady!

I think I spent days at and days in the catacombs, and it drove me nuts, too. It won't be long now until you're through them.

Nickie and Jean

Thanks for the encourgement, much needed at this point! Dratted bones.
I get so mad and involved...lol; I take it quite personalby that someone (Some it?) will not let me do my job..

Ingie

Whoopee!!
I got out, thanks to Nickie's hint and Marion and Jean's encouragement! Whew, now, I just have to go back down and try to grab some booty, I missed a lot...
Then out of that dang village!!
Oh happy day!
Ingie

Now the real fun is beginning, Ingie

Hi Ingie:

I'm glad to hear things are moving along for you. I'm in sort of a catacomb area now in Neverwinter Nights, and it feels like it's gone one forever. I played all day today and I'm still there!

Like nickie said, the real fun is beginning for you. Do as many quests as you can since that will help you level up. Also, you meet a lot more characters that way.

Jean

I managed to get to the bridge, helped with the troll, tried to fight a few orc, but found myself running like a scared chicken, I'll take Nickie's advise and return to them when I have more power.
I ended last night in the farmlands. So, I'm just sorta of nosing around and checking the area out. I finally saw on the map, red flags..
I did step on the transporter before leaving and the map lit up as fire burning on the map.
I'm not sure I did the right thing, but I left 1 transporter stone by M. house, He now heals me without having to pay..and I don't have a lot of stuff to trade with. Onward, another day I hope of playing without interrupts.
Ingie

Hi Ingie!

I have been to the Dark Forest, the Dwarven Halls, Imp's Castle, etc. down south. You've probably figured most of this stuff out but here's some tips (and encouragement)...

If the weapons and armor you find laying around are in good shape, pick them up and stash them near your home base teleporter stone (where you sleep). There is a blacksmith who will buy this stuff off of you (and gold apparently doesn't weigh anything

Hi Gang!

There is a house in Verdistis just north of the General Store that is abandoned. It has a locked hatch in the floor that I just cannot get open. It doesn't seem to be part of a quest or anything, just something that will drive me buggy! <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />

Any ideas?

Marion

Marion, I found a bunch of stuff and then put it down, forgot to mark it, but I'll find it. I didn't think I needed it, rakes, shovels, things like that..but I see what you mean.
I don't have enough money to do much with so trading is something I will have to do.
I thought I'd be able to play today, but, those interrups happened, so I'm just getting ready to do a little nosing around. I just love be able to walk in someone's house and they stand there and watch me peek into their stuff, cracks me up.
A locked anything drives me insane. I never did get the trunk under the tree near the orcs unlocked. And I have a bundle of lockpics and that's suppose to be one of my talents! Bah, I'd just as soon take an axe and beat it to death, but it wouldn't let me. I'll be something really good was in there.
Ok, I have my one stone in the 1st village because I saved his mind he's healing me free and quick! I'll make sure I pick it up when I feel safe enough--I am such a chicken at this, I hate getting bashed up and killed.
Hope you get your hatch open, bet Nickie or Jean knows how. If's it locked, there's a reason!

Ingie,

You're playing as a thief, right? Probably the best skills I can recommend are wisdom (increases your experience points) and lock pick. I've found also, that when you put all 5 skill points that you earn when you level up into intelligence, you get 2 skills to pick leveled up as opposed to just one when you apply the points elsewhere. Does that make sense?

Don't worry about being a chicken...that's what saves are for!



Marion

Yeah, the Singer sword was my best weapon too, until I got the divine one which had frost on it. As far as the locked hatch, there are 3 quests in Verdistis that take you into the hatches, so you may have stumbled across one of those. Which house is it ? OOPs, just reread your post, where you said north of the general store. There are two things it could be, but will have to look to be sure. It might be the place that becomes important later in dealing with the council (have you got all the members for council yet?)
