Hi All,  Barb, I found it in Alvar in the magic shop early. I went ahead and bought it and put it in the chests they give you to use in Ravenshore. I was afraid I couldn't find it later on. It's the best spell in the game. I just got the water Grandmaster this morning. So now I can use it. I use Town Portal a lot too!  Boy, the Fire Plane is terrible. Lots of fire Elementals in here. I may never get out. Kill a few, then go outside and heal. Come back and do it again. Mad, You have a good crew there. With the Dragon, you can fly early in the game, too!

An "ogre" question .... I completed the "rescue quest" for the Smuggler Leader and whilst doing it killed all the ogres in their fort. [And also the ones hanging about outside.] But apparently there are more ogres to deal with  Does anyone know where, specifically ?? Thanks. Mad

There are more up on the hill north of the fort. I think you need Fly to get up there. I still haven't found them all.
I've been to the magic shops in Alvar and Ravwnshore several times & can't find Lloyd's Beacon. I hope it'll show up eventually. That & town portal are the coolest spells in any game, I think.
Mad, sounds like you have a good party. Since you only have 4 characters, you could pick up another good fighter until you're ready for the 2nd dragon. I just got him & got all the alliances I need, so my next step is the Pirate stronghold. Did you get your necromancer promotion, Kay?

Thanks, Barb  I have a "Fly" scroll but not the spell yet so the remaining ogres will have to wait a while  And I do actually have 5 in my party - I missed the Vampire off my list

Sorry, Kayc, I've not been able to access my computers for a while so couldn't reply. However, my dragon is already "expert" and level 7 so I'll hightail it over to the Dragon Cave first thing - next time I get chance to play the game  Thank you

Hi Mad, Things do have a way of keeping us from playing. Yay! You can fly now. Just click on the the dragons magic in the book where his spells are, then click fly. You are in the air flying everywhere. Use the 6 keys on the right of your keyboard. Page up, makes you go up, insert, makes you go down, delete, makes you look down on the places you are flying over. End, just gets you looking straight again. Now, you can fly anywhere you want. Make sure you have plenty of time while in the air or you take damage going down if you run out of time in the air.

Thanks, Kayc  I actually read the manual as regards "dragon flying" so I found out how to  but combat whilst flying might need some getting used to  [Haven't had time to give it a go, yet.]

Well, looney4labs, I had a wonderful time dealing with the Ogres on my first "flying combat" mission .... Yahoo !! So bring 'em on !! EDIT : Later, buoyed by that success, I attempted the Wasp Nest. [No flying there.] And all I can say is
