Hi All, wave
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! lol

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 woozy

Does anyone know where, specifically ??

Thanks.

Mad help

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?

I have a "Fly" scroll but not the spell yet so the remaining ogres will have to wait a while laugh

And I do actually have 5 in my party - I missed the Vampire off my list blush

Barb, Yep! My Necromancer got promoted to a ugly Lich. He is so happy, now he is smiling all the time instead of being so sad. lol

Mad, soon as you get your dragon to master, he can fly too. You can do it all in his cave where you got him. You have to get him to 4 points for expert, then 7 points to get him to master. On one side of the cave you can go on down to the teachers, on the other side they say no. smile

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 bravo

Thank you grin

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. lol

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.

I actually read the manual as regards "dragon flying" so I found out how to lol but combat whilst flying might need some getting used to shocked

So bring 'em on !! lol

EDIT :

Later, buoyed by that success, I attempted the Wasp Nest. [No flying there.]
And all I can say is eek eek eek

Phew !! I'm attempting to wipe out the Naga so I can possible get inside their vault. And so far, I seem to have been eating, sleeping and breathing the darn things !!!! lol

However I think there is now only one band left - positioned just outside the vault itself. Could I be right ?? Do they mostly hang out around that area ??

Or could there be more bands of them elsewhere eek

Or if you have a dragon in the party with the fly and fireball (don't remember the name at the moment) ability, while the rest of your party can do ranged attacks. You get a much nicer way of killing the Nagas grin Just don't forget to stock up on the Naga skins, they get you quite some nice bounty wink

Hi Mad, wave
The name of the spell Smiley is talking about is Meteor Shower.

I love the spell when groups of monsters are on the ground below. Your whole party flies, but while in the air, hit enter and the Nagas will stop. When it's the person's time whose has the fire magic, then use the spell. The rest of the party just uses bows. I used it a lot in Murmurwoods.

I just cleaned out the wasp hive. Boy! Lots of wasp in there. lol

Thank you all !! thumbsup

I haven't acquired the "Meteor Shower" spell yet but I am already using turn based combat a lot as I tend to win more fights that way lol

And, looney4labs !! Your potion sounded SO good. Pity it isn't real !! laugh

Actually what I was referring to is the Dragons ability to use Flame Blast, which basically is an upgraded version of Fireball but explodes out. Good against larger groups lol

Click to reveal..

Flame Blast

Expert level: 10 points + 1-10 of damage per point of skill.
Master: 11 points + 1-11 of damage per point of skill.
Grand Master: 12 points + 1-12 of damage per point of skill.


But true, there are other explosion spells that works just as good smile

Well, Smiley456, I've now finally and definitely killed all the Naga who are outside of their fort but I feel like a change of scenery before I venture inside lol and so am considering a tentative foray into the Wasp Nests of Alvar.
However, so far I haven't been able to master jumping up into those holes in the ceiling woozy

I have several "Jump" scrolls but how do I use them ??
When I click one onto a character portrait, the "jump" happens in a split second but I've not jumped anywhere blush
