Hi all,

First off I want to say that this game is excellent. Really compelling.
Anyway, I'm in the first level of the mines, and near where you get the rope
from the barrel, there's a wall that's marked 'unstable wall'. However I
can't break it with my weapons or fist, he says he can't break it just like
that. I want to do all I can before moving on, so is there any way to get
past this wall, or will I be able to come back later with what I need?

Thanks,
jon

I can´t remember the wall, but I think your weapons simply are too weak.
It probably also could be an illusional wall, I´d say since the areas stay
open anyway, just skip it and go on, there are other things to find at that
level which are more important.

You'll be able to come back later with what you need if you want.

In article <AsMy9.76$sB7.1...@news-text.cableinet.net>,
mr_tea...@hotmail.com blurted...

You can always come back later. However, just find a pick (there is at
least 1 in the first section) and you can use it (double-click it) to
break down walls and mine gems.

Don't worry you will find lots of pickaxes later.

That's because they tried to cram a lot of stuff for you to play with into it.

Bad BubbaHyde... you really killed the shoplady :-) thats almost as
bad as killing the dog running around :-). I wouldn't have killed here
there is a neat mission related to this lady (not a plotstopper if you
dont make it but really a neat mission...)

Hey thats a new twist... I knocked on the toiled and the goblin shouted
back in a pretty angry voice "occupated" well I almost fell from my chair.

Needless to say that I had the sudden urge to kick in the door, if you
never seen a gobling sitting on the toiled becoming angry then better do it
:-)

"Sort of" ?!!

Something like "I got to the toilet first, but it was a pyrrhic
victory..." ?

Please explain! It sounds curiously compelling! (maybe just to my english
fascination with toilet humour.)
