email me with any other questions, or with these if the explanations aren't clear.
Q - Who is this Vayla person anyway? And when do I get to meet her?
A - Vayla is one of the Gods of this world. She makes no appearance other than through her disciple, Xenophon.
Q - How and when do I get my skills back?
A - You don't, at least not without using the player character editor. Throughout the scenario, various
people will train you in various ways, giving you some skills. However, you never regain the skills you initially lose.
Q - I keep getting stuck in this Foreboding Tower! How do I get the Staff of Orianna back?
A - To bypass the section with all the teleporters, read the sign. Each word contains only one cardinal direction letter (N,S,E,W), follow them in order, starting from the square directly west of the sign.
Once you get to the Faeries, don't listen to Willy! He's trying to trick you! Instead, ask Nicky about the Staff, she'll tell you where to really find it.
Q - I'm stuck! Both towns have been destroyed, and the entire island is dead! What do I do?
A - Make sure you've done the following three things -
1. Witnessed Meletus Get Killed
2. Visited the shrine, and examined Elaine's body
3. Searched the Slime Cave, and found a body that gets up after you look at it. It's in the north central area.
Once you've done all three things, return to Pireaus, and enter the town hall. Xenophon will be there, and he can help you proceed with the quest.
Alternately, once you've beaten the Goblins, you can search the area around the Inn in Shenta. Under a pile
of rocks, you'll find a set of stairs. Climb down them to proceed, but be warned! The scenario becomes
much tougher without Xenophon's help.
Q - I've killed Anytus, but the Quickfire gets me! How do I escape the cave?
A - There are two ways. First, if you've gotten Xenophon's help, he'll be in the room just north of where Anytus was, but only for a short while. Go into that room, talk to him, and he'll create a portal for you to escape the island.
OR
There's a secret passage in the southeast corner of the cave. It's blocked by a couple of magic barriers, so you'll need to get the piercing crystals in the room north of where Anytus was.
Q - Okay, I've escaped the cave, Anytus is dead, but now what?
A - Go to the Western Shore. There's a boat there, that'll take you off the island.
