Kay thanks for the advice on the shield. I haven't gone looking for it yet but it's on my list of things to do

I'm still looking for the dragon den but I keep running into these darn Nagas. I need to get organized - I'm doing my usual flitting about and not concentrating on one thing (sorta like real life) I had to go back to the smugglers cove and get the annointed potion - arrrgggh - talk about a blood bath - and it was me I did manage to clean out the Dire wolves den. Selling those pelts increased my coffers by quite a bit. I actually have gold to burn. I'm sure it'll be gone in a heart beat once I start leveling up more. I think my puny party is at level 10 and 11 right now.

I noticed I have a book called The Prophecies of the Sun or something to that effect - anyone know what I'm supposed to do with it? I know it's a quest item, just don't know which one and to whom I'm supposed to give it to.

Hi Smiley - I thought that was you I saw in Dagger Wound yesterday

Hi Syd,
You will get the quest from Stephen in Murmurwoods for the book, Prophecies of the Sun.
I got credit for doing the quest, but he didn't take the book. I think it's a promotion quest for the cleric.
Kay

Just look for the flying dragons syd, since they'll show you where the dargon den is

Lol, wasn't it your party that I saw heading for the docks?

Hi,

The Den will be just to the North of the map and not that far from the road. East of the Naga Temple.

I just went to Murmurwoods yesterday only to find out I didn't have my Prophecies of the Sun book with me and had to go back to Ravenshore to get it...jeez.

My people are all different levels because I have exchanged all but 1.

I love the dragon with his fire power hehe.
He just upgraded to Expert in Dragon skills and next upgrade he will be able to fly...YES!

I don't remember if I ever did find the shield when playing this game. So its in the Necromancer's Guild? Hmmm...I already went in to see what they had to say but haven't found it yet. Is it in one of the locked rooms? Well when I do find the chest and it isn't there because I have already visited the place then I am not going to worry about it. Its either there or not. I don't want to start over.

Well onward we go.

Hi VHL,
Each time you enter the Necromancer guild, the chests will reset if you haven't opened them, so you don't have to start over, just reload the save outside the guild after you've opened the chests if you don't find the shield. It's in one of the two rooms all the way up the strairs on the left. When you click on it the first time, they say room is lock and members only. When you click on it the second time, it will open, but they all turn against you. I had to be able to fight all of them to get out so wait until your stronger.
I just went back to Regna and got even with all those pirates that gave me such a hard time.
Kay

Found my dragon. I forgot I had a handy map that came with the game He's a master in dragon arts now. I never would have made it through those &*(^)(*&^% Nagas without him. Finally found the drum after getting blown to smithereens about six times. Found two Dragonbane flowers and gave one to the dragons - can I give the other one to the dragon hunter that wanted it or is that playing both ends against the middle? Not sure whose side I want to be on yet. Just can't bring myself to kill all those cute dragons now that I have one in my party so I'm leaning toward wiping out the dragon hunters.

I guess my next stop will be to deliver the letter to the head pirate gentlemen. I also need to get my vampire person up to snuff with some of her powers. I haven't been to Shadowspire yet - that looks like a place that vamps would hang out

Well.... My party is back in Ravenshore and looking for trainers. I have a dragon in my party as well

Have you been to Ironsand Desert yet syd? Since I haven't decided on that journey yet.

Nope Smiley haven't been there yet. I just got to Murmurwoods and cleaned out some kind of cave that had balisks and floating lights in it. Got turned to stone a few times also - took a few reloadings before I got out of there with my entire party intact and unstoned About all that was in there were some chests -

Did give the Prophecies of the Sun book to the guy that wanted it. I also went into the Temple of the Sun but wasn't sure what to do so kinda just walked around and went back out.

Also went flying with my dragon

Hi,

Good to know about the chest info Kayc...Thanks.

Wow Syd your Dragon is ahead of mine but thats OK.

We went to the family burial ground in Ironsand area yesterday and now will be able to bring the troll son to Alvar with us to explain.

Will have to see what kind of skills he has and may keep him in my party...not sure.

Well otherwise just going around and upleveling and getting better equipment and getting stronger.

If we find an area hard then we move to another area and so on.

Just wanted to mention that when you go after the coffin in Shadowspire (or was it the Naga Temple?) you need a lot of room to bring it back so make sure you make room for it first.

Hi guys! I finally finished M&M9 & started 8. My party is now about where I want them to be - 2 necromancers, cleric, knight, & dragon. Eventually I'll drop the knight to get more dragons. I like to finish the game with 3 dragons & 2 necros. I wish I could keep the cleric, but there's no room for him.

I put the ashes in the troll tomb, now I'm trying to find the way out! That place is SO confusing!

Hi,

The thing to remember with the troll tomb is that going in you have to climb down so look for stairs going down.

Going out look for stairs going up.

If you try going down and to the right on the way in you will find it faster and easier. It didn't take me long this time at all.

The son (I think) said that he kept his hand on the right side of the wall or something like that so that's the hint.

Well now I have the Minotaur, Necromancer, 2 Vampires and a Dragon and having fun trying new combos with my people.

We are now trying to decide which side we will be on but with a dark group maybe that is the choice hmmmm.

Well so far I think I might pick the Minotaurs, Necromancers and Dragons for the alliance. Gee with the same kind in my party it makes sense.

Well onward we go with so much to do.

Hi all,
I'm getting ready to go to the planes. Have done all the quests that I can do right now. Hope we are all strong enough. I picked up Dervish Chevron in Ravenshore and he has all the cleric spells, even the light magic. Would love to have another Dragon but just can't give up anyone right now.

VHL, those are the one's I was going to form the alliance with, but I messed up and picked the dragon slayers. So now I have the Minotaurs, Necromancers, and Dragon Slayers. Had to get rid of all the Dragon Slayers anyway, so my dragon could get promoted to a Great Wyrm.
Kay

Hi,

OK so when you get rid of the Dragon slayers it doesn't mess up the alliance? I think.

I am using them to kill the Nagas for now but when I get into the Temple and all the nagas are gone then its goodbye to them.

So far we have gotten the Korbus's vial in Shadowspire and are on our way to the Temple in the North West area.

The only way I ever did the planes was to use Invisibility, Lloyd's Beacon and flying so until then I have a while before I get all my spells needed.

I don't even have Town Portal yet and haven’t done the Acromage quest yet either.

Well my new Video Card came yesterday and I can’t wait to see how everything looks with . We will install it tonight .

Hi all,
VHL, It didn't make any difference with the alliance. I went back and talked to Quixote to make sure before I went any farther.
I couldn't figure out how to fight them for awhile. When I clicked on them, they didn't fight. Found out you had to walk up close in front of one of them and hit the A key, then all the ones around you turned hostile, then you could fight them.

I used invisibility to get into the castle of air, but cleaned out the place after I got in. There's some pretty good chests in there.
I have 2 of the hearts, still 2 to go.
Good Luck with your new Video Card.
Kay

Sounds like you're making lots of excellent progress Kayc. Which hearts do you have left?

Hi Smiley,
I have the hearts from the air and water planes. Working on the earth one now. Stuff in the chests here isn't as good as in the castle in the air plane. Love opening those chests and taking everything back to sell it. I never leave anything.
Kay

Hi,

The new video card is excellent.

The thing I love about this game is the goodies in the chests is really good most of the time and selling is a very good way to make money. You need it for training and those expert, master and grandmaster teachers sure suck a lot of the money out of you.

We cleaned out the (was it Dark Dwarfs or elves?) in the stronghold (looks like a mine opening) near the town of Alvar and boy or boy did we get really good armor and weapons.

Thanks kayc for the info and all you have to do is throw a fireball at them and that usually does it hehe.

You do have to be careful in this game to NOT hit anyone in the town area because they all will turn against you except if you want to do it on purpose.

Another way is to get Armageddon and use it.
The only thing this spell does is get rid of the townspeople but does nothing to the enemy.

I have not gotten this spell yet (to expensive) but will test this out on the Dragon Hunters when I do to see if it works on them and get rid of them the easy way.

Does anyone know where I can get Vampire spell books? I tried the Dark Magic spells and they can't learn them. I don't seem to remember where to get them. All my 2 Vampires have for spells is levitate, vampiric weapon and lifedrain and I would like to get them more spells.

Unless they have to be promoted first before they can learn more spells? Not sure.

Well see you in the game.

Hi all,
Wow! Thanks VHL, I didn't think about trying the spells out on them. I haven't used Armageddon yet. This is my first time using dark magic and I'm just learning about the dark magic spells.

I haven't played using a vampire before and don't have a clue where you get the spells for them unless it's where you buy the dark magic spells. The shop has Vampiric Weapon, so maybe later they will have the spells you need.

I think I got a quest to find a axe in the Dark Dwarfs stronghold from someone in Balthazar Lair so if you found it, don't get rid of it yet.
Kay

Hi,

I was afraid of that because this axe is the best one in the game so far. Don't remember if you get to keep it or not. Hope so and if not darn.

I still have to go and clear out Balthazar Lair so will find out later if we can keep it. We sure are using it until then.

Right now working on the Crazy Necromancer's Lab in the North West of Shadowspire area and its kind of hard for us but we sure do save a lot.

Good evening fellow Might and Magicers How on earth do you get to Regna Island? I can't find a ship that takes me there (at least I haven't found one yet).

My little party is plugging along. We are now forming the alliance. I did have a problem finishing one quest. It was in Rust where you had to give the fire potions to the six houses - I somehow ran out and I can't get anymore so the quest remains unfinished (I hate when that happens).

How to get to Regna - That's from the archives of 2006, when a bunch of you played it. Here's the link.

Thanks nickie - looks like it'll be awhile before I hit that island then

Hi,

Syd...I found 3 more fire potions in the potion shop in Shadowspire Town and bought them fast. Keep checking his special deals to find them. Good Luck!

Well still have lots and lots to do and now my group are all level 30 something so getting stronger.

I finally found Cauri who is level 50 and is a keeper.

I still haven't figured out how to get more Vampire and now Dark Elf spells for my people.

Anyone know where to get them?

The place in Shadowspire only sells Dark Magic and my Vampire told me he can't learn it. Hmmm.

Hi all,
VHL, thanks for the tip about storing the stuff at the Adventurer's Inn. I was putting my good stuff there to keep it safe and just putting stuff I didn't need anymore and wasn't worth anything in the chests at the Merchant House. Well, the town reset and you were right, my chests are now empty. So glad you told us about that.

Syd, I did all the quests that I could before going to Regna after going there the first time and finding out my party wasn't strong enough yet to get through and sink the fleet. I had to reload a save before going there because the Regnan pirates followed me back to Ravenshore and were all over the town.

I did the same as VHL, kept going back to the shop in Shadowspire at different times until I found enough potions.
Kay

Thanks for the tip on the potions. I thought I messed up the quest by giving some of the potions to the wrong people. I did wonder if I got my alchemy up to GM if I could actually make them.

Now I need to Grand Master my necromancer (in otherwords turn him into a lich) so he can use the very expensive Lord's Beacon spell I purchased for him. I have the town portal spell but it's not worth much right now. Only two towns - Alvar and Daggar Island appear as vilable. This running through the countryside is getting tiring on my poor party's feet.
