The questions and flavor text are in boxes, with the actual questions also in bold, and answers and other comments from the GM are unformatted. Hi, thanks as always for the questions and for the very creative way in which they’re presented! I’ll do my best to answer them, but please let me know if more information is ever required or if I happen to miss any answers. The pumpkin scenario at Wurmwrit’s Farm will be sticking around. I tried to bring the event to a close following Halloween, but the giant pumpkin beast was having none of it -- and I’m not about to go toe-to-toe with that thing! Doomwall will be able to be completed at some point, and the realm of Kyul-Thanor and its lonely settlement -- Shadowedge -- will be expanded. I plan to make alignment play a greater role than it currently does, and your point about having that happen to some degree with future guilds is well made. Though I’m sworn to secrecy on such matters. It is currently unknown to any what fate awaited Rynduil and Halanne on the other side of the portal through which they disappeared. The Thin Crystal Ring will have a use in the future, and it is planned to be tied in with the reappearance of Eliora—who is likely to need the help of an adventurer. Tarkhald Crypt (and the Old North Wood) are to be redone at some point in the style of the newer “explorable areas” like Bentlimb Wood, etc. At that point there will be additions made to both places. At some point in the future, Phak-Rur will be a place that you can travel to and explore, like other cities. The Gleaming Steel Ring currently has no special use, other than the one for which it was intended, in Tarkhald Crypt. Yes, thank you for bringing that to my attention. The Gleaming Steel Ring is now droppable if it has served its purpose. You may need to equip/unequip it or another piece of equipment for it to become droppable. The bone wand should certainly have a use and I’ll make a note to give it one. It’s not likely that Tallys will have any wands for sale anytime soon. Yes, I promise to make the bone wand have a useful purpose. Cross my heart! The stone circlet will have a use when Saarngard Isle is expanded, following the completion of the current Proving Grounds. The bone horn has no special purpose, except to the Naranok Champion who once used it—and who now has no use for it! The completion of the Iron Dragon adventures is on my list of pending updates. Thofyra’s won’t offer training for any additional skills. It’s not planned to allow Quick Combat to be used in multicharacter scenarios, or in certain special combat situations, etc. There is an ongoing issue with the keys in that scenario. The keys are likely to find themselves removed completely from that scenario since they can’t seem to behave themselves properly! An interesting idea. I’d be interested to hear what players might suggest along those lines. [Note: This is discussed in .] Kyul-Thanor is on my list of pending updates, but it’s quite a ways down on that list. It will be expanded once some of the other more pressing pending matters are cleared up. An interesting point. Palk is not likely to approve of anyone who chooses to serve Ezerok. And Palk has the tendency, as you can well imagine, to become angry over such things -- very angry! Palk will certainly take into consideration rewards for his steadfast followers. To learn more about Steyl Thirsben, and the horrible fate he suffered, it would be necessary to explore the ancient dungeons hidden beneath Trynd Keep. I’ve just added a new entry to my long list. Was this in reference to the book about Steyl Thirsben, the last of the old gaol’s permanent residents, or was this in relation to another book? The Elixir of the Torrent has long been in need of fixing and has now been fixed. It will increase 19s to 20 and will increase anything less than 19 by 2. That code will suffer the same fate as the keys in the ice troll lair. It will be booted. I believe I answered those sets of questions, but I think I was told that the person I emailed them back to has gone and never relayed them. Whatever the case may be, if they are still about, please send to me and I’ll try to answer them. Thanks so much for the questions. They’re very useful and get me thinking along the lines of what Sryth’s great adventurers are seeking from the game. Please let me know if I’ve failed to answer anything, or haven’t answered something fully. All the very best and thanks as always for playing and supporting Sryth! Your humble GM
