[ti]Daisy[/ti]The Book of Unwritten Tales

Thanks Jo . The benefits of a g-o-o-d night's sleep - woke up this morning and my little brain immediately noted "Oh, you silly goose, of course you used your inventory item before - but it is right near by - just nick right over and pick it up again"! Ah, "God's in his heaven, All's right with the world!".

....omigosh, a blast from the past. A trillion years ago when I was a mere child in 10th grade English class, Mrs. McCormack insisted we memorize a line or two from every poem we studied. (Pippa Passes by Robert Browning!). She also used that snippet to impart a grammar lesson to us - it was "all right", not the "alright" which was otherwise vulgarly trending in our little worlds. Wonder if she realizes how often her little bits of doggerel find their way into our little minds, lo these many years afterwards.

P.P.S. And while I was bemoaning my sorry fate last night of my missing inventory item, I did go off to the discussion sections on Gog & Steam to see if anyone else had reported what I mistakenly thought was a program glitch (ah, Sensei Jo , how well you are training me!). (Duh, side note - it seems the Steam community is FAR more likely to have answered a query than the Gog community is!). Anyhow, was entertained by one entry in particular. One writer was quite concerned with the prologue - Ivo appeared in quite the skimpy costume and egads, McGuffin had a whip? To what nefarious purpose might such a thing have been put? In any event, he wanted to know whether such salaciousness was confined merely to the prologue, or whether his delicate sensibilities would be under attack throughout the entire game and should he therefore skip it entirely. The world is indeed full of diversity!

OK left the temple not easily and now have arrived in a graveyard with some whacked out zombies a gay knight and a weed smoking minotaur. What could POSSIBLY be next

lurkercat, It's too true  lol  But, have you gotten to the earth pixies yet? Any suspicions I might harbor as to the fact that the game is definitely for adults were confirmed.  It's another place where I seemed to skulk about for forever.

Still havent gotten a chance to try the rain dance, but I GOTTA find a way to either get Nate to succeed at the mine OR to at least get him to stop swearing so fiercely after the elves evict him each time...particularly since the bleeps rarely manage to cover his hearty swear words! After the 10th or 12th time Nate gets carried out, it sure does get a bit much. Shaking Computer

So I have a dumb question that I'm hoping someone can answer. Three almost identical things appeared in my inventory while talking to the Paladin, then 2 disappeared, and now none of them are there. Never knew quite what they were, didnt know what they were for, didnt (deliberately) use them, and have no idea where they've gone! Not putting this in a spoiler, 'cause since I dont think I ever used them, dont think they are relevant to the game??? Forgive me for being a tad hazy on the details, 'cause it has been a bit since I had the objects.

Anyhow, while Nate was talking to the Paladin somewhere along the line, there was discussion of something I think was call buffs (or buffed?). I remember being confused at the dialog at the time. Anyhow, up popped 3, all in caps, acronyms (something like SVR, NMG, or similar - I dont actually remember for real), all 3 letters long and I seem to remember the Paladin in an "oh, alright" moment, agreeing to give something to Nate. 3 roundish, reddish items went into my inventory. One at least was labelled with a 3 letter, all uppercase name that at the time I wasnt sure matched any of the 3 acronyms noted in the prior discussion (which also confused me, but I figured maybe I just misremembered the acronyms). A brief while later, two were gone & one remained. Then a bit later than that, all three were gone. I never intentionally applied them anywhere (though sometimes this game uses things out of my inventory without my having to deliberately access them, as they just come up in the conversation when someone is fulfilling someone else's requests). Searching the walkthrough for "buff" gets me no hits nor I see anything promising jump out at me just looking at all interactions with the Paladin (though of course they could have been there & I just missed them...not at all an unusual occurrence for me!!). I looked at both the Gameboomers & Steam walkthroughs. I dont know what these were, why they appeared, or why they disappeared. I'm sure I wasnt imagining them, but I'm now soooooo confused. Can anyone help me out?? Please. I'm really not crazy. I DID see them!! HELP!

I may have to bail on this game.  I reached the orc camp for the contest but when Nate receives a crumpled note and is supposed to read it nothing I can do will get him to read it. I watched a you tube walkthrough and he just reads it without it I can't progress and although it has been great fun I just don't know if I want to start over    any ideas welcome
