[comp.sys.mac.games] Pool of Radiance

rotberg@dms.UUCP (Ed Rotberg) (08/07/90)

I know I've seen a request for this before, but I've just "gotten into"
Pool of Radiance.  If anyone has maps (Preferably paint or pict files),
could you be kind enough to email them to me (binhexed & stuffed).

Thanks,

If you want spoilers, you'll have to ask specific questions.  I'll
give you a sample:

(Spoiler Alert)


In the castle on the island, you need to know a certain word to 
"relieve" the ghosts from their duty....



The word is located somewhere in the keep itself....



O.K. -- look in the reeds to the left in the entryway....
You'll need the "wheel" to decipher it....

Give me a buzz if you need more help....

I've noted many have had experience with POR, and now I have a problem
which I cannot find a solution for. Having taken the quest to clean
out the graveyard, we get the nice +1, +3 vs Undead Sword. Having two
fighters, the 1st fighter got the sword. She didn't do too well with
it, so I traded it to the dwarven fighter. Now, he really stomps some
undead butt, but that mission is over and I want him to have a higher
plus sword in normal battle (until I face more undead). He cannot
unwield it, trade it, or anything. When I try to unready the weapon,
I get a message saying it is already readied. Any ideas on how I can
unready this weapon? I've tried Dispel Magic on him to no avail. The
1st fighter had no trouble unwielding it, obviously, as she was able
to trade it.

Secondly, I found a +2 sword that seems to be cursed (or that's what
I think the problem is). When a character wields it, they automatically
loose hit points. Of course, it could be Intelligent?!? Anyway, has
anyone else seen this?

Thanks for the assist.

The first of these is a bug in the original program. I wrote
to SCSI about this and they replace my 1.0 disks with 1.03 or something.
They responded real quick, and overseas, so I can commend them for
their user support.

Probable programming explaination
The +1/+3 sword is just to wide for the Macs List Manager as they have
is set up.
In the original program they reserved space for all characters in the name
of the sword but the last, this last character ending up somewhere else,
causing havoc.

The +2 sword has an alignement, and burns followers of another alignment.
To bad there isnt some alert, suddenly I found one character unconscious.

I recently bought this game & really like it.  I just found a magic
missle wand and was
wondering if there is a limit on the number of times I can yse it before
it becomes useless.
Or is the use of the wand unlimited?  Thanks in advance.

  I'm looking for a spoiler on POR.  How do I kill the trolls in the slums?
I've tried a number of times but haven`t had any luck (yes, I am new to rpg's
and not very good!).

The trolls regenerate, so if you stand on them after killing them thy won't
come back. By the way, you don't need to kill them to clear the slums. Just go
reap your reward at the council.
