Did anyone ever find a way of getting into that wierd place next to the passage around LandKing hall with a corpse and some broomsticks in it? I'm so vexed because I've used up my green crystal ball now so I can't look in there any more, but I've definitely failed to find a way in. Any tricks?

You killed Alaric with a rolling pin? Then what happened?

yeah, even though I really like the puzzle solving aspect of this (I never actually played a game like this before in my life so I can't compare it to any of the others you're talking about, but I've a feeling I prefer the puzzles to the battles) I couldn't help but to feel a bit cheated by the big build up to some things which didn't really turn out to be worth much. Like getting the sapphire books for instance - you spend all this time getting them, thinking there MUST be something in these secret rooms that tells you what's going on, and if you're playing a non-magic user, you get up to the 8th degree hall and wonder why you bothered because there's nothing in any of them that you couldn't read elsewhere. Plus I really liked all the hints of political intriguing but they never really got carried through to a logical conclusion, though maybe that's too much to ask of a game
But these are all minor whinges - it's hellish addictive

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE GAME
but yeah, I felt a bit let-down at the end of the game - I was expecting a bit more chat & explanations, tying up of loose ends, and possibly a few parties etc, not just to be shoved off back to earth again. I think I even preferred the "evil alaric" version of the ending for dramatic value.

There is a copy of it in the Judge's house in Catamarca (Metopes I think his name is) and I'm fairly sure there's one in the library at LandKing Hall, and definitely one in the library at Pnyx. If you chat to Anisa about golems and Machaon she tells you about it.

Is there something special about those braziers? I thought they were just for light, foolishly, now I come to think of it. And what is the dresser you mentioned?
In the book about Semius the golem hunter it says he goes out in the famed cloak of Herakles - that's the only reason I called the fur cloak that. Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any major confusion.
Okay, the year's 201, but after you tell him about his mother, he says he thinks it has more significance - is there anything else about that?
It's a thing. You have to have all the pieces of the Crolna to get it. Do you want to know who to ask for it?
