I completed EOB 1, and I didn't find any of those stones. IOUN stone

will orbit the characters head.

No iouns in Curse of the Azure Bonds, not in any of the "gold box"
games
eather, I still have all the GB games and manuals so I'm pretty sure
about
that statement as I managed to find all the manuals and check, I admit I
could still be wrong though as I haven't played any of the GB games in
awile
and the books never did give the whole story as far as goodies went.
Someone mentioned Dungeon Hack and that one sounds possible but I don't
remember and I am not nosy enough to install it to check. I still think
it was one of the EOBs as I think I remember having more than one party
member. Has been awile though and once you get older the memory starts
to go :) Starting to think I need a DOS D&D gaming fix.

Wishing someone would put out a new FRUA.

You might want to check again. Because there are 3 ioun stones in Curse
of the Azure bonds (I've played the game through around 40 times (for a
time it was the best and only GB game I had 3;) )) The first stone I
believe is in the treasure room after you escape the thieves guild. You
have to bash into the room, and there is a magic sword, some dust, a
couple potions and an Ioun Stone. By the end of the game, I have at
least 3 every time.

I've been thinking I need that for awhile now 3;) Don't forget to run it
with Moslo, or the battles will be killer. (who was casting that spell
again??) Anyone know of a place with actual walkthroughs of those games?
I've beaten pool of radiance and curse of the Azure Bonds. But Secret of
the Silver blades eludes me. Very deep into the game I get lost in some
caves and fight alot of giants. but can't find anywhere useful to go. I
played around with pools of darkness but haven't seriously attempted it
yet.
Also anyone out there made any UA games? I've got a copy if anyone wants
to mess with it, I think it would be pretty killer...maybe mack a GB
version of Baldur's gate? 3;)
