You can pick up the first dragon in the dragon cave in Garotte Gorge. I got started this morning & finished the temple & got Ithilgore. Now I'm in the Smugglers' cave.

Well I think I'd better go hide in a corner !!

I decided to start over and made much better progress (in general) this time but my first venture into the Abandoned Temple was an out and out fiasco

Good job I had a save right before I went in because on reaching the bottom of the entrance stairs I was thoroughly "bested".

I told you I was pathetic !!

The temple is very hard, Mad. I died many times in there. What characters do you have? Doing the temple I had Sophia, a necromancer, Fred, the cleric, and Simon Templar. My necro has ice bolt & Fred has Heal. I also got Bow for everyone.

Hi Barb

I have five in my party :
Me, a Knight
Simon, the other Knight I met on my first visit to the Temple.
A Necromancer from The Adventurer's Inn.
A Vampire, also from the inn.
And the Cleric.

We have an assortment of rudimentary magics between us and now we each have either a bow or crossbow.

Along the way as I've been gathering my team (and my wits !!) I've visited two other islands and done the "Disperse the Cure Potions Quest) and also (to gain experience and cash etc) engaged with bunches of Pirates all over the place.

I guess I need to do more of the Pirate fighting but keep trying the Temple inbetween times until I make some headway in there

Cheers.

Mad

Sounds like you're doing very well, Mad. Are you enjoying the game more?

Yes, I am enjoying myself a lot more now, thanks, Barb. But I certainly found it easier to cope at the start of M&M 6

You and Kay are obviously much less inept than I am and I admire you BOTH

Thanks, Mad, but I'm not all that great at fighting. I enjoy the exploring and doing quests the most. I DO enjoy killing a few monsters once in a while, though!

Kay, have you got to Ravenshore yet? For some reason I'm having a really hard time in smuggler's Cove. I think I'll pop over to Alvar & see if I can find some good spells.

Hi Mad and Barb,
Mad, your doing just great! I haven't done the cure potions quest yet either. I wanted to get the dragon, Ithilgore first. Now, I'm on my way back to do the quest. There are different things about all the Might and Magic games that I love.
Thanks Barb for letting me know where to find him. I have him now and I can fly. Yay!
Kay

Mad, if while you are gathering Your wits, you happen to see mine, would you send them my way?

Wits ?? looney4labs ?? Wits ?? I have NONE !!!!

OK folks. I'm in the Abandoned Temple and got as far as having successfully followed that red path "on the ceiling" of a room

No doubt the next room holds untold horrors also but I need a break before I tackle any more

I think I am not doing too badly now - for me, anyway !!
Done the Abandoned Temple and a couple of small quests and am now exploring Ravenshore

Hi Mad and Barb,
You are moving on and doing great! This is your first time playing. Barb and I have played it a long time ago. I just did Smuggler's cave in Ravenshore. Lots of goodies there.

Two days a week I keep this little two year old for exercise so I don't get to play much on those days. Boy! Do I ever get the exercise running after her.

I really want to go back to the fun of playing the Might & Magic games (VII - IX), to bad I'm stuck with lots of homework until June 4

Just think how much you'll enjoy it when you do get to play

I second that !!
