Author's notes:

    This is THE complete, solved, and written docs for Bard's Tale III: The
Theif of Fate. We started playing Bard's Tale III on 6-15-88. We finished on
6-23-88. We started writing this on 6-28-88. We finished writing this on
6-29-88. We released this on 6-30-88. The 15 days between when we started
playing, and when we finished writing this, was the worst experience ever
conceived to mankind. When and if Bard's Tale IV comes out, someone else
better write a solve file, because we sure the hell aren't!!

    We would like to clarify for Vigilante, who gave us the inspiration to
write a real solve file, that Shahka Brae doesn't exist. We would also like
to tell him that the dude with the long name is actually 'Brilhasti ap Tarj.'
Also, the Stone Touch spell doesn't exist in Bard's Tale III.


When we solved it, our characters were as follows:

Kool Kat:

New Sensation - Level 13 Geomancer
Cinderella - Level 29 Chronomancer
Cindefella - Level 27 Chronomancer
Metallica Mage - Level 22 Archmage
Bullwinkle Jr. - Level 32 Monk
Nikki Sixx - Level 37 Bard
Rogue Runner - Level 32 Rogue

Wildcat:

Wildcat - Level 99 Monk
Rich the Hawk - Level 8 Geomancer
Bard's Tale - Level 111 Bard
Theif of Fate - Level 38 Rogue
Aderack - Level 88 Archmage
Conanthist - Level 21 Chronomancer
Nuke em - Level 88 Archmage

Marduk:

Friar Tuck - Level 108 Bard
Brother Amigo - Level 72 Monk
Marduk - Level 88 Archmage
Brian V - Level 9 Geomancer
Nuke em Jr. - Level 88 Archmage
Thor - Level 37 Rogue
Pocovich - Level 18 Chronomancer

We hope you've enjoyed this awesome display of talent (yeah right!!)

If you ever are on you knees, begging to know the locations of the statues in
Malefia, give 5150 a call and leave e-mail to one of us.

Whaddya think about Tyson killing Spinx in 91 seconds?? Too bad Tarjan
wasn't so easy to kill. Well, at least we got the 22 million pieces of gold
finding him! Heh heh heh heh... have a nice day!

Bard Songs:

The bard has seven tunes he/she can play one at a time while exploring or
during combat. The last two songs must be found.

1. Sir Robin's Tune: Lets party run from foes easier, and prevents foes from
  calling for help.

2. Safety Song: Bonus to saving roll. This means that the party is less likely
  to be damaged by magic and traps.

3. Sanctuary Score: Lowers the armor class for all members.

4. Bringaround Ballad: Increases the party's hit points for extra protection
  also increase the damage points inflicted on the enemy.

5. Rhyme of Duotime: Makes party regain spell points twice as fast, and makes
  fighters hit one extra time.

6. Watchwood Meledoy: Casts a mage flame.

7. Minstel Shield: Cast magic compas during non combat. Burns all foes for
  150 to 600 points of damage during combat.

8. Kiel's Overture: Lowers armor class during non combat.Aborbs half of damage
  inflicted upon the party during combat.

                   ===> BARD'S TALE III: Thief of Fate <===

[< PREFACE >]  As I lay dying...

I pray my body does not fail me before I am able to complete this most
important missive.  I pray as well that, somehow, the heroes who once  before
saved Skara Brae will find this accounting and act upon it.  I leave this
record so those who come after will know what horrors that the Mad God Tarjan
has perpetrated, and so that they will not be lulled into believing that
Skara Brae was his sole target.

How can I describe that day.  May, it did not begin like all others  for on
that day we celebrated the victory over Mangar that had so recently liberated
our city.  Bards from the world arrived in Skara Brae to play and herald the
brave deeds of those heroes who saved us.  The townspeople danced in the
streets with happiness, and the great festival filled all with an
overwhelming joy of life and renewed hope for the future.

Then Mangar's Master, the The Mad God Tarjan, arrived to reduce our day of
celebration into a day of mourning.  His shadow sank the city into pitiless
black oblivion.  Foul creatures that had festered in his flesh like maggots
burst forth to assault fair Skara Brae.  People ran, but could not run swiftly
enough to escape.  Tarjan's minions left none untouched.

Forgive the shakiness of my script, for life ebbs painfully from my body as I
write.  Tarjan, mocking my death curse, told me Skara Brae was barely one in a
series of conquests he had long contemplated to complete his revenge.  He
laughed when I said heroes would come to destroy his mad plan, yet I sensed
fear in his voice when I promised that the legendary Hawkslayer, and those
who defeated Margar, would return again to triumph.  As payment for my
threat, he gave a swift twist of his jewelled sword into my belly.

Tarjan must be stopped.  Whosoever reads this, you must get word to the
heroes.  This will be their greatest challenge, for upon their efforts rests
the fate of more than Skara Brae, more than the Six Cities of the plains.
Their failure will mean the extinction of all life - save for the wretched
Tarjan and his servile parasites.  Pray for success...and life renewed.


[< OBJECTIVES >]

You must assemble a group of adventurers who will travel to the seven
dimensions in search of the source of Skara Brae's destruction.  Along the
way, you'll gather words, spells, and items that will help you in your final
battle against the repugnant Evil One.  If you successfully destroy the Evil
One, Skara Brae will be released from the bond of ruin.

Using logic is he key to surviving in each of the dimensions.  Let's say
you're trekking around in some icy, arctic-like zone and a monstrous snow
wolf steps onto your path, bares its teeth, and then proceeds to chew off
your ankle.  You have a bag of spells to chose from, but one type of spell
would be 'especially' effective. (Hint: Trying to freeze the snow wolf in an
ice storm is not the best choice.)

Throughout the game, you'll need to make important decisions about how to
accomplish certain tasks.  You won't want to proceed in the usual 'Whatever
Works' method.  It will pay to think it out.


[< PRE-BUILT PARTIES >]

When you enter the Refugee Camp, you'll find a group of adventurers called
INTERPLAYERS ready to do your bidding.  They're not the most seasoned of


adventurers, but they're good enough for you to sample Thief of rate with.
Use these characters to find out how commands work, what different races and
classes do, how it feels to get repeatedly attacked, in general, what the
Realm is like.  When you're ready, you can create your own characters.


[< CREATING CHARACTERS >]

I'm sure most of you know how to do this, so there's no need in the key
pressing situation ... so listen up:

RACES
-----
HUMANS: Their strength and inventiveness make them one of the best survivors.
Never lacking agression , they can handle themselves in just about any adverse
setting.

ELF: Fair of hair and skin, the Elves are slightly taller,faster, and more
agile than humans.  Although weaker, they make up for this by being more
skilled in magical arts and war strategies.

DWARF: Stout and short, these people are amazingly strong and healthy.
Brightness, however, isn't a shining attribute of theirs.

HOBBIT: The Hobbit is deft and clever, which are ideal traits for thieving.
Their favorite boast is 'A locked door is soon no more.'

HALF-ELF: The result of an Elf and Human 'friendship', Half-Elves acquire
their fair and light skin from Elves, and their physical bulk from Humans.

HALF-ORC: Orcs are the henchman of evil wizards who are capable of little
more than following orders for physical dirty work.  Half-Orcs are tempered
with Human blood, so while they're still dangerous, they aren't completely
mindless drones forever in search of necks to wrench.

GNOME: Gnomes are much like Dwarfs, but a little more anti-social due to a
deficit in beauty.  Because they've spent so much time studying alone, Gnomes
have developed a certain flair for magic.


CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES
--------- ----------

As you create your characters, these attributes appear above the race
categories at the top of the screen.  They're your character's vital
statistics.  These values will determine how successful your character
performs in his or her class (or 'profession').

STRENGTH (ST): Nobody really wishes to be light on might, but strength is
especially important to fighters.

INTELLIGENCE (IQ): If you won't have brawn, then you better have the brains.
Magicians get bonus spell points for high intelligence scores.

DEXTERITY (DX): This helps determine how fleet of feed and nimble of hand
you'll be.  A high score makes you harder to hit, and helps you land the
first blow.  For Rogues, the higher this value, the less likely they'll get
their fingers snapped off in traps.

CONSTITUTION (CN): This represents your overall health.  The higher this is,
the more damage your opponent must inflict on you before you need to start
thinking about death.  Should you be blessed with strong constitution, you
will get bonus hit points.

LUCK (LK): Luck is ambiguous and unpredictable; you never know what alliance
it has made with fate.  One thing is known about luck: lucky souls are more
likely to resist evil magic and avoid traps.


CLASSES
-------

No one class, or profession, is nobler than the next.  As the mix of strings
on the Bard's mandolin makes for a richer sound, so will a mix of calls  
make for a richer journey.  Create a party with no Rogues or Bards, and
you'll have nobody to steal flowers for your grave and sing at your funeral.
While there are 13 classes to put your choosing, only eight are available to
the first-time adventurer.

WARRIOR: It's a rare weapon that this king of fighters can't handle.  Warriors
gain an extra attack capability for every four levels of experience after the
first; a reward for becoming more adept in battle.

PALADIN: This fighter swears to battle all evil and uphold honor and purity.
Due to their virtuous nature, the Paladin can handle some enchanted weapons
that other can't and also have greater resistance to spells cast on them.

HUNTER: These are the skilled assassins.  Their combat approach is to aim for
the vital organs or nerve center and do away with the opponent with as little
swordplay as possible.

MONK: These are no ordinary, somber, brown-robed, porridge eaters.  Monks are
actually adept fighters skilled in the ways of martial arts.  While Monks with
more experience prefer to fight with their bare hands, they can also use
traditional weapons.  A Monk's armor class improves as he or she gains levels.

BARD: Any Bard will tell you that music can do more than sooth the savage
beast.  The Bard can do a number of things from creating light to
regenerating spell points with a mere stroke of strings.

ROGUE: This dexterous thief makes a living out of picking locks and
neutralizing traps.  If you plan on traveling  without a Rogue, prepare to
pay a high physical price for your spoils.  A Rogue also has the ability to
identify mysterious items.  And perhaps most important, a Rogue can be an
excellent killer due to his or her ability to sneak up close to an opponent
before he or she attacks...and you'll soon find out just how important this
thief is to your fate.

CONJURER: Conjurers have the ability to heal wounds and create physical
phenomena like fire and light.

MAGICIAN: A Magician's specialty is to change the properties of physical
objects, such as enchanting a sword, turning an enemy to stone, or making a
dungeon wall vanish.

SORCERER: These mages have weighty illusions, ones that a newly-made
character surely couldn't handle.  You must know at least three spell levels
from the Magician and Conjurer classes.

WIZARD: Rumor of the Real is that these mages have the power to summon and
bind creatures of the supernatural, creatures who react foully to being
dragged out of their worlds on someone else's whim.

ARCHMAGE: Archmages must have mastered all the spells of any three magic
classes.  With this hefty experience requirement, Archmages are undoubtedly
the most auspicious among those who cast spells for a living.

GEOMANCER: Fighters who want to convert to a life of a magic can become
Geomancers.  Once they choose to change, they can still use the armor,
weapons, and magic items that the  fighter can use.  Beware: Bards lose their
songs, Warriors lose their multiple attacks, Hunters lose their critical hit
ability, and Monks lose their armor class bonus and multiple attacks.  It's
part of the trade off.

CHRONOMANCER: Chronomancers are the travel experts of the magic users.
Before becoming one, a magic user must master all the spells of any three
mage classes.  An once you become a Chronomaster, you lose the power to use
all the spells you previously learned.  It may sound unfair, but the
Chronomancer needs to focus all of his or her attention on the important
dimensions teleport spells.  Don't think you can get around without this
spellcaster, because you can't.


SPECIAL CHARACTER TIPS FROM THE REFUGEE CAMP
------- --------- ---- ---- --- ------- ----

* Don't worry about losing a level 1 character; just make another one if he
or she dies.  However, when your characters reach level 3, regularly back up
your character disk with your favorite disk copy utility or prepare to shed
tears over a lost character.

* If your favorite character is killed, you can resurrect him or her with
magic, or with gold if you can find a shrine that raises the dead.  You can
also turn off the computer, reboot, and reload your party from the point
where you last saved them to disk (which means all of the characters lose any
gold or experience points they may have earned since the last time you saved
them.)  Or, you can delete the dead character from your main character disk,
and replace that character from your backup disk.

* When you roll for attributes, shoot for 16's, 17's, and 18's since they can
make a big difference.  For example, high dexterity gives you bonus armor
protection and first strike capabilities; luck often lets your survive  if
you accidentally spring a trap; constitution provides all characters with
extra hit points; and high intelligence gives mages bonus spell points in
later turns.

* Certain races rely on certain attributes being strong.  A mage who is
strong but not intelligent is at a far greater disadvantage at an opposite
attribute... being weak but with high intelligence.

* Develop a Sorcerer quickly to use in the dungeons.  Wizards, too, are
important because they can summon extremely powerful special members .  Work
toward Archmagedom.  You'll also need to prepare at least one character for
the role of Chronomancer.

* Experiment with Hunters.  They can often kill superior  monsters quickly
because of their critical hit capabilities.  Rogues also have excellent
critical hit abilities, but only when they hide in the shadows.  And don't
dismiss the Monk as lightweights best left chanting in the monastery; after
the sixth level, they're probably the best fighters of all the classes.

* You can always enlist the services of special members and save them to your
party.

* Beware of certain magic squares.  Keep an eye on your character's
statistics while exploring.  If you see that your character's spell or hit
points are dropping for no apparent reason, your character is probably on a
magic square that drains power - jump off the square before he or she is
sapped of all strength.


[< SPECIAL CHARACTERS >]

You may meet special characters during your travels, or summon them with a
spell or magic article (the summoned characters are also known as illusionary
characters).  You can invite as many of these special characters to join your
party-granted you have the space in your party.  You can save special
characters to disk once you return to the Refugee Camp.

Special characters choose their own method of attack and usually go after the
first group of monsters that you party if facing.  Illusionary characters
disappear from the party ranks when they are killed or when a foe disbelieves
its existence.  If a nonillusionary special characters is attacked by another
party member  for any reason, the special character immediately turns hostile
and fights until defeated.  Dead special characters can be resurrected and
healed just like your regular characters.

Special characters can carry items for your party, but they can't find them
or use them.  Only the characters you made are capable of this.  When special
members are killed, anything they were carrying disappears, so don't have
them carry your favorite family heirloom.


[< MOVING UP IN LEVELS >]

All newly-made characters start out as level one.  As you adventure, fight,
and gain experience, you can go up in levels.  The higher your level, the
better you'll perform in the profession you choose: magic users cast more
spells, fighters fight more skillfully, thieves steal more successfully, and
so on.  To advance, you must go to the Review Board where the Old Man will
review your accomplishments and let you know if you are fit for
advancement... [Art possibly?]

Spellcasters need to advance in levels to acquire more spells.  What
spellcasters would wish to dedicate years of study only to dabble in the same
handful of tepid spells all of their lives?  The following tables shows at
what level spellcasters can use certain level spells.  For instance, a Wizard
with an experience level of 3 can only use spells up to the second level.
Spellcasters have seven spell levels that they can acquire.

EXPERIENCE LEVEL/SPELL LEVEL

1/1         8/4
2/1         9/5
3/2         10/5
4/2         11/6
5/3         12/6
6/3         13+/7
7/4

You can advance to a new, more powerful mage class once you learn enough
spells from enough mage classes.  Just how many spells and just which mage
classes you must learn depend on which mage class you want to advance to.
When you go to the Review Board, you'll find out exactly which classes you
can advance to at that time.

For those seeking to change classes, your experience points will reset to
zero, but your other attributes such as hit points, spell points, and gold
remain unaffected.  A warning to magic users: once you advance to a new mage
spells, you don't get the chance to learn the magic classes and spell levels
that you skipped.  For instance, if you become an Archmage without having
studied the Sorcerer spells, you cannot go back to learn those Sorcerer
spells.


[< PLACES >]

Despite the fact that much of the Realm was crushed, some places still do
stand.  The Scrapwood Tavern, for one, still does good business.


[< REFUGEE CAMP >]

Once, there was a home to travelers called the Adventurer's Guild.  Wayfarers
stopped there when they wanted to slake a thirst, engage in merriment, or
just rest their weary feet.  Now that the plague has descended and Skara Brae
has been shattered, the Refugee Camp serves as the gathering points for
travelers.

Although lacking the niceties of the Adventurer's Guild (tables, heating,
vermin free bedding), you can still do the same things in the Refugee Camp.
Come here to create characters, form a party, and save characters to disk.
This is where you will begin every game and where you will be returned should
all your party perish during the quest.


[< SCRAPWOOD TAVERN >]

Drink up!  This is the only tavern in the vicinity.  You may want to fill up
with a wineskin here so your Bard will not have to go thirsty in some of the
more inhospitable, tavernless areas.  While you're here, ask the barkeep how
things are going...


[< PLACES NO MORE >]

In the previous scenarios of Bard's Tale, you may of found places like
Roscoe's Energy Emporium, temples, casinos, but... here, you may not be so
fortunate.  So you may have to search out for alternatives, if there are any.


[< REVIEW BOARD >]

Once, this housed the representatives from each of the ten different classes
from all over the Realm.  They were responsible for advancing adventurers with
enough experience points to higher levels.  During the dark days, all fled or
perished in the attempt.  Now, the Old Man sits on the Board, and he alone
will answer to your call for advancement [Art, again in aid.]


[< MORE TIPS FROM THE REFUGEE CAMP - PLACES >]

* Your first adventure should be in the Mad God's dungeon in Skara Brae.
Here you'll build your savvy for fighting, spellcasting, and adventuring.

* Avoid potential traps.  Use the Trap Zap spell when in doubt.  It will
disarm any trap, including the Gas Cloud trap, famous for its toxic fumes.

Tenabrosia:

To teleport to Tenabrosia cast: OLUK
To teleport to Skara Brae cast: ECEA

    In Tenabrosia you will want to go inside of the city gates to Black Scar.
Here you will find a Bard's Hall that will teach your Bard some new songs. You
will also find a Wizard's Guild that will teach you the ever-powerfull
Goderdammerung spell (NUKE). Once you learn those, you may exit the city and
set out to fulfill your quest. Find the Canyon in nowhere, and the shadow lock
will be in it somewhere. After you find it, leave the canyon and find the Tar
Pit. It looks like a hole in the ground. It would be very wise to save your
game before entering this death pit. Once you are in the pit go south down the
wall you enter by. Then turn west and proceed about 10 paces. You want to be
at the very center of the southern wall. Once you are at the center,slowly and
cautiously go north. You will be walking over tar, so you will get stuck many
times, and you might lose a few characters. Don't worry,just cast REST if your
hit points are getting too low. You should find a place where tar is bubbling
up in the middle. Use a wineskin or canteen to collect some of it. Go back the
way you came. Once you exit the dungeon, go to the dense forest (6S,7W) and
find a group of trees that are blocking the entrance to another dungeon. It
looks like a hole between a few trees. Once you are facing the trees, use the
tar that you just gathered. The tree will go up in flames, allowing you to
enter the dungeon within. Once in the dungeon, you must find the shadow door.
    When you have the shadow door and lock, go to the 'middle of nowhere.' Use
the shadow door and lock. A magic door will appear which you will be able to
go through. Once inside, wander around until you find Scedeau. He will be
guarding the prizes you seek.Since he will keep moving you further and further
away, the olny way to kill him is to have your rogue hide in the shadows.
It may take a while to get him/her out to 90',but when you do so, it is a good
idea to cast DIVA to increase the damage inflicted upon Scedeau. If you don't
kill him the first time,just go back out again until you do. Another good idea
is to cast PREC, because while you are hiding in the shadows, Scedeau just
might want to conjur up some friends to mess you up.

Tarmitia:

To teleport to Tarmitia cast: AECE
To teleport to Skara Brae cast: KULO

    Tarmitia was meant to be harder than it actually is. All you have to do
is answer a riddle and kill some one. Walk around in Berlin until you find
a floating head. The head will ask 'Who am I?' Respond with:Tyr. Then the head
will ask 'Who am I really?' Respond with:Werra. You will then be teleport to a
new dungeon. There, go the the bottom left corner. Enter Werra's chamber and
kill him. It is a good idea to cast PREC and DIVA. This part looks easier than
it really is. After you kill Werra, he sits up and laughs at you, while six
black slayers try to destroy you. 2 NUKE spells should take care of them, but
watch out, because the Black Slayers critical hit everything they touch! Once
you kill the Black Slayers,you will receive your prizes and will be able to go
back to Skara Brae. To do so, go to the top right corner and walk through the
teleport.

Skara Brae:

   To complete the level of Skara Brae, one must venture into the Mad God's
Temple, and utter the words 'chaos.' Once inside of the dungeon, teleport
immediatly two levels down using the APAR spell.Once there, find a portal that
goes down. It will be much easier to find using the SOSI spell. When you are
within three or four paces of the portal, the spell will tell you 'Something
special is near.' Once you are in the room with the portal, cast LEVI and hit
'W' to levitate down the portal. Walk around until Brilhasti tells you that
you are close. When he does so, he should be right around the corner. Once you
hear him for the second time, go to the west and stay against the wall, turn
north and precede cautiously.After going north for aproximately ten paces, hit
'?' to see the dungeon map (you may want to do this during other dungeons.) If
you see on the map that you have passed through a door, go east one and south
one. You may want to save the game before you go south. Once you go south, you
will enter his chamber. As soon as possible, cast the PREC spell. This spell
will prevent Brilhasti from conjuring up more foes for you to fight. Try to
kill his guards as soon as possible. After killing all foes except Brilhasti,
advance until at 10'. Once you kill him, you will be teleported back to
the Review Board where the old man will teach your Chronomancer (if you have
one) the spells to get to Arboria. Which is our next dimension to solve.

Malefia:

To teleport to Malefia cast: EVIL
To teleport to Skare Brae cast: LIVE

    Malefia was absolutely the hardest and most time consuming dungeons of all
Bard's Tale dungeons. We refer to it as the S.O.B. dimension. I will simply
explain the goals,and let you experience the hell we went through solving this
dungeon by ourselves.It's helpful to cast SCSI to find out how lost you really
are. On the main level, you will have to find a statue. Once you do so use the
corresponding item.On the first level down, there are two more statues. On the
second level down, there are three more statues. Once you complete all of the
statue business, go to the bottom right corner of the first level down and
levitate down the portal in a big room. Go north to find THE door. If it's a
'faint door'then you haven't found all of the statues (six of them.) We advise
saving the game numerous times while venturing beyond THE door. You must kill
the first group of foes to enter the sacred chamber. Once in the chamber, you
must fight more foes to cross a bridge. Running from the second group of foes
can do more damage than good.Once you past the second group, you must go after
Tarjan himself. Tarjan isn't exactly in a cheerfull mood when you find him. He
will conjurer up some 'friends' that you must play with (the trainer would be
nice right now, wouldn't it??) After playing with the first group of friends,
guess what? Yep, another group of friends.These friends aren't really friends.
These friends don't like you very much. If you are lucky enough to kill the
second group, Tarjan is all yours.Since he likes to conjur up 10 black slayers
every round,casting PREC might not be a bad idea. Once you have killed the Mad One, you will enter adventurer heaven and will be put to sleep until part IV
comes out. You may now turn it off and go back to Skara Brae, where you will
welcome a group of Hedge Lizards. Beat the %$#% out of them and then you may
want to do one of the following:

 1. If you have to cut the grass tommorow, use some of the gasoline (all if
   necessacary) and play Pyro-Bardia.
 2. If you don't have to cut the grass, you have a couple of nice frisbees to
   throw at your dog.
 3. If you just happen to have some hydrochlroic acid laying around, we hear
   disks react violently to it.
 4. Have you ever studied the anatomy of a diskette?
 5. If you have a trash can in the corner,here comes your chance for 2 points.
 6. Call your lawyer, and sue the hell out of EA for making the false claim
   that a thief is needed to solve the game.
 7. Take a trip down to Panama and celebrate!
 8. Experiment with a diskette's bouyancy. (Preferrably the Pacific)
 9. The next time you see Kool Kat, Wildcat, or Marduk, give him a million
   dollars for spending all of this time writing this file for you after we
   already had it solved!
 10. Break into your local hospital, and steal a bottle of Ether to use until
    Bard's Tale IV comes out.

differnt roses. You should find a White, Blue, Red, and Yellow rose. The go to
the mountain (4N,8W) and climb it. Once at the top of the mountain, you must
slay a dragon.You will find a crystal key under its corpse. You will also need
to collect some of its blood by using a wineskin or canteen.Leave the mountain
and go to Cyanis's tower. Climb the tower and you should find Cyanis at the
very top, center. When you find him cast REST.He will then cheerfully give you
a magic triangle. After you have the triangle, go down back to the wilderness.
Find Alliria's tomb (1N,8W) and go around to the back of it. You should find a
dead rose bush. Use the dragon's blood you gathered earlier, and the bush
should grow a rainbow rose.Pick it and enter Alliria's tomb. Once in her tomb,
venture around until you find a dungeon with a bunch of zig-zags. A beautiful
looking shadowy figure should ask you for the 'Flower of Truth.' Give her the
White rose. Later, she will ask you for the 'Flower of Valor.' Give her the
Blue rose. After going through a teleport on the same level she will ask for
the 'Flower of Kinship.' Give her the Red rose. She will later ask for the
'Flower of Nature.' Give her the Yellow rose. Then, right before you enter
Alliria's chamber, she will ask for the 'Flower of Alliria.' Give her the
Rainbow rose. You then will be allowed to enter Alliria's chamber. Take your
prizes and exit the dungeon. Go back to the Review Board and receive 600000
more experience points and the spells for your next quest.

Barracks. Once in the Barracks go to the bottom right corner into a backwards
'L' shaped room. Take the key and again go back the way you came. Once in the
main dungeon go north of the dungeon and enter the Workshop through another
passageway.Go to the left and you should find the sealed portal. You shouldn't
have to go through any doors to find it. Once you find the sealed portal. Use
one of the keys and turn it 15 times. Use the other key and turn it 18 times.
The portal should open. If not, use the opposite key and turn it 15 or 18
times respectively.
    Once in the dungeon below, work your way to the top center and go south
through a door. You will find a guy who asks you if you want to end this
peacefully or violently. Answer yes to the question. He then will allow you to
enter his chamber. Go south for about 4 paces. You should find him waiting for
you. There you will be able to convert one of your characters (monk, paladin,
bard, or rogue) into a Geomancer. After doing so, look around the chamber for
his chest. The prizes you seek will be in them.

Arboria:

To enter Arboria cast: ARBO
To return to Skara Brae cast: ENIK

     Once in Arboria, seek the fisherman's hut. Go inside and pay him money to
learn the GILL spell. This spell will allow you to breathe under water. After
learning the spell (which can also be learned in the Wizard's guild inside of
Ciera Brannia) go in the lake right next to the hut. As soon as you are under
water, cast the GILL spell. It only last for a short while, so move quickly.
Head towards the west. After going west for about 20 paces, you should be near
the water of life. To get some,make one of your characters use a wineskin or a
canteen. They will collect some of the water which will play an important role
in the future. Once out of the lake, look around for an oak tree. It is close
to the city gates. When you run into it,it will ask you if you want to pick an
acorn. Type yes and give it to one of your characters.
     Now you must go to the top of Valarian's tower and get the nightspear.
Teleport straight up about two or three levels using the APAR spell. Once you
make it two the top,there is a place where you must plant the acorn. To do so,
make the character use the acorn. He/she will plant it. Then use the Water of
Life. The acorn will grow into a full size tree.Climb the tree and look around
on the top level for the nightspear. Give it to one of your characters. To get
out of Valarian's tower, teleport straight down two or three levels, and find
the stairs going out of the tower.
     Go inside of the city, and go into the King's castle. It should be right
in front of the city gates. The king will tell you to bring Tsolaths head to
him. Then you will exit the city and find the festering pit. It looks like a
hole in the ground. After you enter it, teleport down with the APAR spell
and find Tsolath. Cast a PREC spell as soon as you find him. The best way to
kill him is to use something quick and powerful, such as the DEST spell. Once
you kill him, he will try to come back to life, but the nightspear will absorb
the light that controls him,killing him for ever. Then you will be able to get
his head and heart. Take them and go back to the King's castle. The King will
take Tsolaths head and let you into his Sacred Grove,which is right outside of
his castle.
     Enter the grove and head towards the south-central part of the dungeon.
You should find a door there. Enter the door and use Tsolaths heart. One of
your characters will put it in a bowl in his chest.Then use the Water of Life,
this will make the heart start pumping and bring Valarian back to life. You
then will have to exit and re-enter his burial chamber to discover a door to
the east. Enter the door and head towards the south-east. There you will find
Valarian's bow and arrows. Give them to your characters and make you way back
out of the grove to the city gates. Find the well worn area where you will
teleport back to Skara Brae. Go to the old man in the Review Board. He should
give you 600000 experience points and tell you of your next quest. Be sure
to have your chronomancer talk to him to learn the new teleporting spells.
