Dungeons contain many corridors and rooms. There are also many crates, vases and chests that can be opened or broken to reveal useful items. Wells abound, where characters can restore health or [[mana]] (see below). | Dungeons contain many corridors and rooms.

==Townspeople== | |||
The town is populated by townspeople who will ask you to do quests but there are also tradespeople where you can buy and sell things. | |||
Gunther the Blacksmith will sell, buy, repair and improve weapons and armour. | |||
The gypsy Madame Irma will magically heal wounds and cure poison for free but will charge to identify magic artefacts and to remove cursed objects that the player is wearing. | |||
Perry the Publican sells food and torches and the player can pay to spend a restorative night in his tavern. Larsac the Usurer is the banker where you can deposit your money. | |||
Master Elmeric buys and sells potions, scrolls and spell books and can be paid to recharge magic items whose spells have run out of manna. | |||
Master Dalsin teaches you skills for a fee. | |||
Bill and Murray are the town guards. Bill will offer you game-playing tips whereas Murray gives you a tour of the town and explains how the tradespeople can help your game play. (When the Darkstone errupts in town Murray is turned to stone and can no longer offer the tour.) | |||
Audren and Krym are the town musicians and if you place a gold coin in her cap Audren will play a special song. Audren is based on the French singer Audren who sings the song and possibly Krym is supposed to be Christophe Rime who did the game's music. | |||
In the training camp you will meet Bowman, Swan and Wozarg who will let you train hitting moving bullseyes, fighting sickly trolls and casting fireballs at goblins repsectively. | |||
There is also a chicken wandering around. (If you can cope with the mental imagery then using the Theft skill on it will liberate an egg). | |||
==Quests== | ==Quests== | ||
In town the townspeople will ask you to do optional quests in return for money. These quests are either retreiving artefacts or killing an infamous monster. The artefacts are the Holy Grail, the Royal Diadem, the Shield of Light, the Unicorn's Horn, the Dragon's Scale, the Magic Anvil, the Path Book, the Medallion of Melchior, the Sacred Scroll, the Stone of Souls, the Cursed Sword, the Storm Flower, the Claw of Sargon, the Celestial Harp, the Bard's Music Score and the Broken Vase. The monsters are the ratman Buzbal the Furious, the vampire Nosferatu and the skeletal Evil Garth. | |||
==Crystals== | |||
There are seven crystals; the purple Crystal of Wisdom, the red Crystal of Virtue, the blue Crystal of Bravery, the yellow Crystal of Nobility, the turquoise Crystal of Compassion, the green Crystal of Integrity and the grey Crystal of Strength. These are magically reassembled by the hermit Sebastian to form the crystal Time Orb. | |||
==Blessed Objects== | |||
Some objects are blessed with qualities such as Abundance, Life Recovery, Quick Mana Recovery, Slow Poison, Light Aura, Spell Duration Increased, Permanent Perception, Mana Shield, Eternal Youth, Poison (poisons enemy), Fire Element (burns enemy), Vampire (steals 20% of enemy's life), Magic Missiles (casts spell when enemy is struck), Storm (pushes enemy back when struck), Stone Curse (petrifies enemy when struck), Touch of Confusion (struck enemy ingores player and attacks other enemies), Push Target Back and Fast/Faster/Fastest Attack, whereas others just have bonuses to attributes. | |||
==Cursed Objects== | |||
Other worn objects are cursed and cannot be removed without the help of Madame Irma. The curses are Old Age, Slow Motion, Bulimia (grow hungry quicker), Leaking Pockets (items drop out of backpack) and Unease (you shout out randomly "If I see anyone approaching, I will vaporise them!", "Now everyman for himself, there will be bloodshed!", "Who is the strongest amongst us?", "My armour is impenetrable!" and "There is a traitor among you, guess who it is!"). | |||
==Runes== | |||
One rare artefact is the rune which looks like a small red stone that can be used to fix a spell onto a worn object. (This is done by the player selecting a spell and right-clicking on the rune then left-clicking on an object that causes the spell to be fixed onto it with a manna reserve equal to the player's current manna). | |||
==Potions== | |||
There are | There are several potions and elixirs that the player can drink; the red Healing potion, the blue Mana potion, the green Antidote and Poison potions, the orange Youth elixir (that rejuvenates you to 20 years old), the purple Dexterity elixir, the cyan Magic elixir, the yellow Vitality elixir and the grey Strength elixir. There is also a distinctive Surprise potion that increases and decreases the player's attributes randomly but also a purple version that can be mistakenly drunk thinking it is a Dexterity elixir. | ||
