Oh my gawd, your last question alone shows you haven't been paying attention have you? The manual? The character creation screen? No offense intended... I'll answer question 12 first (have to get it off chest) - the Omphaaz is a character RACE (like human, or elf, or ratling) available in the game. Thus, the Omphaaz leather is meant for Omphaaz characters to use.
1. I have found 3 monkey idols and placed them in pedistals in the library...
OK,
1) Monkey idol 1: in the other room, in a chest, next to the spiral staircase near back entrance, that leads to Kreug.
2) Monkey idol 2: in the hands of a "Monkey with Object" - the monkey is released if you pull the lever in the chute room, but it(monkey) may appear in the large room near the 6-door puzzle storage area.
3) Monkey idol 3: in one of the chests inside one of the 6-door puzzle storage rooms.
4) Monkey idol 4: in the kitchen's storerooms, accessed using a lift.
5) Serpent Idol: in an underwater area past either Serpent Holds (near back entrance).
2. I have made 4 vials of spider egg nectar but have so far found no use for them.
They cure poison, but more importantly, one is needed to summon the Naga at the brazier/main altar.
3. I have found two locations with ale kegs--one large keg in one place--but found no use for them.
No use AFAIK.
4. I have a fire poker with no use unless it relates to the incense I put in the brazier?
You can use it to press the button in the brazier near where you found it. You can use it also to poke the prisoner (H'thark) who is also nearby... but since you have H'Thark's lockpicks.....
5 . There are two switches on an opposite wall from the closed dragon mouth that has the brazier near it. The switches do not seem to function. Any clues?
They activate the two protcullises/gates to the left and right. It's not a dragon, it's a big cobra. That area is the main altar.
6. Another room has 6 doors, 4 switches, and 1 coin slot but nothing happens. If this is a puzzle where are the clues in the game for it? One door area seems much darker then the other 5.
Yes, it's a puzzle. Pull certain switches, drop a coin, and one of the doors will open. There are therefore 6 combinations you have to figure out. Well, it seems your missing Monkey Idol is in one of the rooms here.
7 . I have found the Arcane Prison but he seems blind and won't help unless I show him something relating to my question about the "Inner Circle". I have tried giving him all items and he either refuses them or takes them but then nothing happens.
Please see question no.11.
8. There is a passage leading to a closed gate that I cannot open. Through the gate on the far wall is a switch but I don't know how to operate it from here. Any ideas?
You'll probably reach it from another area. I think I know where you're refering to - don't bother, keep going in another direction.
9. In another passage way corner there is a section of wall with a different style brick pattern. Is this a hidden passage and if so how do I open it up? How does one get the Rogue to detect hidden passages and/or open them up?
If this is the one near the storage area, u have to find a button nearby. But don't go in, cos you can't get out (bug). Rogues do not detect hidden passages.
10. Near the front entrance to the Temple there is a ramp going west down to a closed door. The map seems to indicate this is to the lower part of the central core of the Temple.
Look for the lever on the wall. This is the main entrance/exit of the temple.
11. h'Thark's Lockpicks--are they just lockpicks or a special item needed at some point?
Check your journal to see what Gorthius of the Hidden Circle say to you. See question 7.
12. Omphaaz War Leather--found somewhere--maybe even off someone named Omphaaz the party killed. Anyway, they are restricted--no one in my party of warriors, prist, wizard, and rogue can use them. I sold them to the guy in the armory and, of course, cannot buy them back.
You CAN buy them back. Look carefully at the wares cos Omphaaz leather looks like ordinary leather. Anyway, since you don't have an Omphaaz in your party, you don't need it.
Sorry if I sound a bit miffed, cos I feel that if you paid a little more attention when playing, you won't need to ask some of these questions. Play slowly and patiently, and check your character journals for clues too. Good luck.
