<font color=silver>Sorry for the mix up, Lord Brass. I was simply posting the link as a potentially useful reference to those folks who were wondering about finding specific spells.

Your're too right about the less than useful spells that one finds in abundance in the game while there seems to be only one scroll for certain other spells such as stoneskin -- something that can make playing multiple mages as I prefer to do a bit frustrating.</font>

Quite right Cyril, sorry about that (note to self: think of others more). You have the heart of the problem there. I too like to have multiple mages in the group. This lack of spells is annoying, as yet again, I have to sort out the fight between my dwarven Cleric/Conjurer and my dwarven Bard. Who gets what? I decide! [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color = mediumspringgreen>Thank you, Ar-Cunin, Lord Brass, and Cyril Darkcloud!

I especially enjoyed the link you sent, Cyril: An expose' on scroll locations --- Everything I wanted and more!

Had forgotton about the merchandise changeover. Since I just mopped up the 2nd level of D.E., and am halfway through the third, I think it's about time to visit Orrick's shop in Kuldahar, again....

Is Orrick the guy you can thieve rings of free action from? Did this once in the first game, but forgot who the victim was. I sure need 'em.... I thought "Hold" spells, like web, entangle, etc. just stopped a character/enemy from moving, but allowed them to fight. However, when I get held, I lose control of my character. Is this a bug?

Party On!

Arundel has one of the items in question, and Orrick holds the other. You can also get additional MI from Orrick and I think that this section is randomly generated.

No, if a character is under the influence of web you lose control as that character can no longer perform any actions whatsoever (which is why it's slightly better than Entagle). Entangle allows you to carry on fighting, as does the Slow spell.
