On a particularly boring day I used TextPad Editor and went through the .exe searching for stuff I hadn't seen before. And since I've seen *nearly* all of the game, I had put down a few text clippings that really caught my eye. I tried to keep the text in it's most original form, but couldn't copy it directly, so I rewrote it in Word, so several "Auto-Correct" options enacted themselves, so sorry for the occasional caps, I was too lazy to fix them.

I couldn't remember the name of the dwarven city's inn, but if it is the green griffon, i am going to smack myself in the head. The lot of money stuff I picked out seems to point to a quest that you have to deliver something. And the whole warrior thing, I wasn't sure about, so I put it in there. And getting killed by tiny spiders? I don't ever recall this death, but if you can place any of these things, thank you. They have been bugging me for a long while. There were some others, but I left them out. Well. What the heck, at the risk of sounding like an idiot, here is one I left out of the first part.

The message about lots of tiny spiders biting you is a random one. Sometimes when you stumble into a spider web you get this message and apparently get some damage. If you are on very low health it may kill you.

You get the "You greet your spidery friends" in a same situation if you are a dark elf. Apparently dark elves don't get damage from this.

About the storm and the living forest it's when you use fire spells there (lightning too I think)

The mummified skull over the door of the shop is from bringing Kranach's body to the sheriff - he says "We'll put his head up in some public location."

The legion of translucent adventurers is from trying to enter the bug temple without enough entries in your high score table.

One message I remember seeing in the exe is "You'll have to come visit me in my eternal abode!" Maybe this is from wishing for Andor Drakon - has anyone ever tried?

Yeah, thanks, I am an idiot, you guys helped show it. But stumbling into a pole? What's that all about? And all that stuff that points to an errand like I was saying. I am feeling awefully stupid now, but a few more questions are left in the .exe for me.

DaC: Thanks, didn't know about that. I usually don't stay in the forest too long. In and out. I prefer going through DH, unless an ancient black dragon dissolves half of my equipment.

Stumbeling into a pole is most likely what happen if you are blind or in the dark and walk into a lever (either the dwarven one, or the ones on the final level).
