Seems I always figure out the answer to me questions before I get a response but this time I am stumped. Two things - 1) On level 5 (6?) there is a room that looks like this - __________________________ | : /F | | ## : D | A = pressure plate | : | B = Pit |_____ | | C = Pressure plate to open pit |~~~~~~~~~ ____ | and door D | force { | | | D = door to room ## | field { | E | | E = Pressure plate to close pit | { |___| | and door D _______|~~~~~~~~~ | F = lever to turn force field on/off | U button : door U = button to close pit B | _____ ______ _____ : to Force Field pops you to A | | A | | B | | C | : room | |___| |____| |___| : |___________________________: OK - Now that that took forever to draw, ARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!@!!!!!! HOW DO YOU OPEN THE DANG DOOR AND GET THE KEY??????? All combinations that are possible close the door in the end. HELP. 2) Same level, there is a wall that states "TEST YOUR STRENGTH" and down the hall (to the left) are some force fields. I can't get through them - I have tried everything we can think of. What do they mean by test your strength - I've tried everything I can think of here. THANKS IN ADVANCE! Peter Kovach Sig - We don't need no stinking sig!

Hopefully, if you know your sports figures, this will help you without spilling the whole pot of beans.

****** SPOILERS FOR DM ******, LEVEL 5/6 Hint: The force-field stays on for a moment after you turn it off. Hint for Q#2: What difference does strength make? Solution: If you hit the switch and back up at the same time, the field stays on long enough to teleport you into the right place. Solution #2: Find your character with the greatest strength and have him/her throw an object down that corridor. There is a pressure plate at the end which opens the gate, but you have to be strong and throw a light object for it to make it all the way down the hallway to the plate. -grigsby, ex-DM addict (won twice, drew all maps.

Yup, that's how I did it. There is another way but I can't remember it right now. > Solution #2: Find your character with the greatest strength and have > him/her throw an object down that corridor. Or have any character shoot an arrow down the corridor. I had my weakest character do this and it worked! Marshall --mjv@brownvm.brown.edu

Finally, I set a shield down on the square where the teleporter appears and pushed the button. Viola! The teleporter put the shield on the pressure plate and the door opened. For some reason throwing something onto the plate didn't work but teleporting something to it did. -- Paul Hinker --- MS-287 : Hinker@ACL.Lanl.gov : Phone : 665-1907 Acl E-Mail : hinker@acl.lanl.gov :: Beta E-mail : ph@beta.lanl.gov **** --- If it works, it's not state-of-the-art.
