I have two questions concerning DM. First, I think my disk may be going bad and causing some problems for me. Every now and then I get a requestor for the DM disk even though I never took it out. I click on okay and the game resumes. My problem is that after many hours of playing, my party suddenly dies and the end of game scroll with the programmer credits comes up. This has happened the last few times I have played. My chars were not in danger, they were well fed, then suddenly dead. Is this some insane disk based protection scheme that kills everyone if the disk fails more than a couple times in one session? Second, I have only been playing for a short time now (a week or two) and I am presently fighting through level five (calling the hall of champions level one). I read somewhere that there is a stairway on level four leading to a room full of screamers that regenerates when you close the door. I went back and searched but couldn't find it. I did see a stairway when using x-ray vision/phasedoor/whatever you call the spell, but couldn't walk through the wall to get to it. I was able to walk through to the couple other "hidden" rooms on level four but couldn't get to that stairway. Is that the stairway I am looking for, or is it somewhere else? I hate to ask for cheats, but how do I get to that *#$% stairway (it was in a corner a few turns away from the exit, just past the portcullis - I think). Any help on either topic would be appreciated. Bob Pomeroy pomeroy@refine.enet.dec.com rpomeroy@lynx.northeastern.edu (sorry, no .sig for now)

sorry, can't tell you about the stairway, but the regenerating screamer room isn't near one anyway.it's late in the purple worm level, just a room full of screamers with a portcullis.If you walk out of this room, turn right, and walk to the corner, you're on the regeneration plate(sleeping here regenerates them best).left of the room and round the corner is an illusionary wall.behind this is....

Actually, there _are_ stairs very close by that go down. I think you have to go the next level, come back up those steps, and open a secret door to have access. I know that there _definitely_ are stairs down right next to it. There are even a couple of water fountains down the stairs. I used to set up "camp" here and make forays into the lower levels so I could pump up the levels of my characters. -- "Gosh!
