I have a couple of questions about Quarterstaff. I'm looking for spoilers.
If you haven't gotten too far in Quarterstaff, you might not want to
read on, as there may be spoilers below.
o What does the ornate ring do? It just changes color on me...
o Do the Succubus' Mithral Earrings and Mithral Bracelet *do* anything?
o Why did a million things glow when Eolene drank the Detect Evil potion?
o Why does the Ring of Sustenance say "Hurts so Good"?
o Is there any way to get Rufo or Boffo to join your party?
o Is there a secret room north of the L Hall?
o Is it just me, or does the Smoky potion (from The Punker and Spike
Slipshod) not work? I drank it and didn't get teleported...
o Is there a good reason to use the Thick potion? Dirk can just pick the
lock to get into the ash room, and I already know the mine layout...
o What are the various torques good for?
o What's the best blunt weapon? The Mithral Mace? The Nasty Mace?
The Redwood Staff? The {Maple, Oak, Ash, etc} Quarterstaff?
o I've killed: The Chief Torturer, The Druid Guard, The Huge Spider, The
Wild Wizard, The Insane Druid, The Grue, Peave, The Chief Priest, The
Succubus, Rufo, Boffo, The Punker and Spike Slipshod -- I've basically
cleared the first two levels (with the exception of the Granite Statue,
The Gelatinous Cube and Dirk, the latter of which is in my party.)
-- What do I do know? I can go down the stairs to the east of the
library, but what's down there? Just smokey, misty and foggy rooms,
as far as I can tell. Help! Help! What do I do next?
Thanks in advance.

The torques are an indication of druid rank. The gold(?) torque worn by the druid in the upstairs area of the temple indicates that he is/was the highest-ranking druid in the colony. >o What's the best blunt weapon? The Mithral Mace? The Nasty Mace? > The Redwood Staff? The {Maple, Oak, Ash, etc} Quarterstaff? I'm not positive, but I think that the mithral weapons are generally the "best," though they are heavier.. (just wait until you find the mithral broadsword..yow) >o I've killed: The Chief Torturer, The Druid Guard, The Huge Spider, The Where was this guy? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I never found him/her. > cleared the first two levels (with the exception of the Granite Statue, > The Gelatinous Cube and Dirk, the latter of which is in my party.) The Cube is easy enough to kill-- use throwing or shooting weapons from nearby rooms; fire is also a good weapon against the cube. > -- What do I do know?

This is where the _real_ fun begins! That's level 3, where things get a little nastier. Those foggy rooms form a small, simple maze. You should be able to find a safe way through if you're careful. Alternatively, you could try donning those white goggles (with no lenses) the high druid (in the temple) was carrying. They have magnificent fog-penetrating powers... > >Adam While I'm posting on QS, I'll repeat my other unanswered question: Anyone know how to get the Staff of Life to work?
