...what the heck am I supposed to be doing?!
I went down all four levels. Great puzzles, interesting challenges, a real dungeon crawl! Am I the only one who figured out the Portal Maze on the second try?
I suffered a setback thanks to game quirks. The game rarely autosaves in WK. And when I do try to save, the game tends to crash. I managed to beat the 3rd key portal protectors (the Huntress, drow, hive mother, marileth, etc.) in one try AND with all my party members intact! (And Imoen and Aizawa learn the sheer joy of time stop + improved alacrity + spell trigger/sequencer.

)
Right after I won, before I had a chance to pick up any gear or level up my party members, the game decides to crash. Nothing was running except ToB, Norton, and the systray. Everything was working perfectly
up until that point. Now, thanks to my Wild Mage luck, I get to fight the battle again, and knowing that luck, the results will be quite different.

And then, after turning off my stress reliever, it was back to work on the theater history paper about anti-fascism and Eugene Ionesco.

But while I was working, I kept thinking about my true purpose in WK. What exactly am I supposed to be doing down there, now that I'm so close to the Imprisoned One? The Chromatic Demon tipped me off that there was trickery afoot, but should I trust a lying demon? Also, Aizawa's husband-to-be is a follower of Helm. I'm trying to think what would be best for Helm, but I don't know what to do.
If the Imprisoned One is imprisoned, reading the scroll is going to do one of two things: it will work and reseal its bonds, or it won't work and I'll have a fight on my hands. My PC is chaotic good, and does what is best for her party members before thinking of herself.
Can anyone help me out here? Please keep in mind that I
don't know anything about the Imprisoned One except that he/she/it/genderless entity is down there, and the only information I'm going on is what people tell me and what my journal says. Easy on the spoilers, please.
