OK, here are my guesses without reference to the game, guidebook or manual: 1. h) Niltrias 2. g) writer (writing an SoCR without enough Mana) 3. a)? (don't understand the question) 4. a)? - AFAIR, fire beetles are the only type of beetle in the game, and all the others come in multiple varieties. Also, I think all the others have royalty (not sure about wyrms though). 5. c) human crone 6. d) human housewife? 7. i) Stoma Pubis? (no idea) 8. b) yellow (once there was a bug where the Mad Minstrel sang that they were yellow but in fact they were green- don't know whether this has been fixed) 9. c) Green Griffon 10. b)? (no idea) 11. b) gives Healing skill 12. a) babbling 13. g) rats 14. e) his power to drain life and confuse others? 15. g) 50 feet? 16. b)? (no idea) 17. e) a humble shepherd 18. g) undead 19. g) the si 20. d) large bat 21. f) nowhere? ("You start a trip on the road to nowhere" means you have become cursed.) 22. b)? (don't understand the question - I know the Sinister Library of Niltrias, but this doesn't seem relevant) 23. a) dragons 24. f) The One Who Kills 25. h) Rutherford? (no idea) 26. a) "Beauty won't help you survive, strength and toughness will!" 27. e) fool 28. b) ENO OWT EERHT (scroll of information) |

3 - didn't manage to get the Ministrel to sing about this. Can't remember where I read that... 7 - ask the Ancient Dwarf about the si, he'll tell you. 10 - While you're at it, ask Bart. I remember he fought The Claw and the ogre. 15 - Someone find one and tell us, will ya? A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train.

Some questions are still unanswered, but I think it's time to reveal the correct answers: 1 h Niltrias (message said when using this power) 2 g writer (death cause when dying by writing when too weak; contrary to what I wrote before 'painter' does not appear anywhere, sorry) 3 e (OK this was hard --- chat with fire giant king; and there are 12 jarls in Ice Vale) 4 e wyrm (I am surprised nobody got it, did nobody read the description of killer bug?) 5 e troll witch (according to Thrundarr; Mad Minstrel says she was a crone, but does not specify race; and witch and crone are synonyms AFAIK) 6 b elven witch (according to Thrundarr) 7 c Gorko Galgenstrick (according to Thrundarr) 8 b yellow (according to Mad Minstrel and description; in older version description said green) 9 c Green Griffon ("You enter the Green Griffon Inn." message when entering it) 10d Magrak (Magrak appears in the questions to determine stats, all others appear in Bart, the grizzled gladiatior's chat) 11b gives Healing skill (the doctor in Lawenitothehl - a bug IMO, flesh golems seem more appropriate) 12a babbling (according to Mad Minstrel) 13g rats (description of rat) 14a a Blade of Cynicism (description of Thomas Biskup) 15d 25 feet (description of titan) 16c Human wizard... (read statues in the Bugcave) 17e a humble shepherd (one of character backgrounds) 18g undead (fortune cookie) 19g si (message when entering this level) 20d large bat (message when eating) 21f nowhere (message when getting curse from pool) 22c a map to an ancient tomb containing many treasures (questions to determine stats; all false answers also from here) 23a dragons (fortune cookie) 24f The One Who Kills 25b Darfindel (the name given for male gnomes when Allow_Default_Names=true; this works in 1.1.1) 26a "Beauty..." (description of orc) 27e fool (Yggaz's chat) 28b ENO OWT EERHT (scroll of information) |

Legend Tester, actually you are wrong about number 7. this is what you get when talking to Thrundarr about the si, Gororn Garman and Gorko Galgenstrick: "Yeah, the legendary si... an item of great power... most probably. The legendary dwarven champion Groron Garman discovered it and carried it for a long time. Legend has it that he never told anyone about the secret powers of this mighty item. It now seems to be lost." "Groron Garman was one of the mightiest champions to ever live amongst our people. A mighty warrior, a great scout and a fine dwarf. He always adventured together with his companion, Gorko Galgenstrick, a dwarven king of some reknown. Groron is most famous for his discovery of the legendary si artifact." "Gorko Galgenstrick... yes, he wuzz a great dwarven king in long gone ages. He managed to uncover the legendary axe of dwarven emperors, which allowed him to achieve a position of fame and fortune. His early adventures are lost, but he for sure was a mighty warrior and accomplished scout. His best friend was Groron Garman, another mighty hero of our people." "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

I actually would have guessed #4, I remembered killer bugs' description as "quickling moloch beetles". But I don't know how berserker fits in. I never even thought of talking to the ancient dwarf about all those things. The following is a real Adom message: The homunculus hits you. You suddenly fall asleep! Do you want to continue to read the spellbook of Calm Monster? [y/N] |

Claw bugs are berserker beetles and greater claw bugs are berserker emperor beetles. (OK, I misremembered this too a bit, I thought that killer bugs are "quickling berserker moloch beetles" - so it was harder than I thought) |

I think Bart says his village was pillaged (hah! rhymes!) by an elder chaos wyrm. Not sure though. The following is a real Adom message: The homunculus hits you. You suddenly fall asleep! Do you want to continue to read the spellbook of Calm Monster? [y/N] |

"My last fight in da summer of 339 was my greatest victory... I single-handedly slew a great red wyrm!" ok, and here's the rest of the stuff Bart might say: "Fight in da arena if ye want some excitement! My last fight in da summer of 339 was my greatest victory... I single-handedly slew a great red wyrm! I like dis tavern... it's so similar to the Axe & Hammer, the old gladiator tavern! Torgall's a nice guy... always gives me sumthing to drink... although he never lets me get drunk! Dose gladiators earn too much money these days... us fought for da honor! In my days fights in the arena were full of honor... but these days? Pah! I've fought so many times in da arena that I can't remember all the opponents I killed... Shall I recount some old battle stories of mine? Ever heard of Krang, the Claw? It wuz me who defeated him! How's the arena these days? Didst ye know that it's not that difficult to slay overwhelming numbers of foes with some tricks? Hast ye heard of Madrak "Trident" Maark, the ogre? It wuz me who slayed him! Ah, those days... Yeah, young one, I know so many tricks that everyone could profit from them -- but they all visit dat damned dwarf. Ye know, when yer scars ache you become slow and then fights get nasty. Dunno, life's become boring these days. I have fought lots of battles... sadly I spent my loot for women and drinks... and now... Ah, in spring 324 I managed to slay Rafaarg, the bruiser -- really nasty minotaur, that one! "Hey, ya got da golden gladius?" "Ye must be a promising fighter!" "I won two of dose in me days..." "Lost both of them when my home village was pillaged by an elder chaos wyrm." "*Damn*" "Lost everything on dat day!" "Wife, children, dog, ..." "Dost ye want to exchange da gladius for some training I might give ye?" exchange the gladius for training "Ok, now listen..." Over the next hours the old gladiator recounts a number of interesting tricks to you. He also shows some new weapon moves to you." Ok, Bart doesn't actually say thosa last lines, but anyway "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |
