OK, I'm back.
Thanks to Saz, I was finally able to get past the oracles... I was sitting too far away from them, apaertnly they can't see all, they needed me closer to see the ring. I moved in 'till I got burned, then spoke to them. The two outer ones told me to speak to the center one. (kinda cheesy. It would have been cool if they all spoke, each answering in turn)
Night fell while I was in the tunnel, and since I don't know how to rest or sleep or anyway to pass the night (If there is a way, PLEASE tell me) I swam around in the dark, trying to clear as much of the map that I could make out by the small auto-map. The path to Ishad N'Ha was simple to find. So was the Serpent Temple. I met the heretic.
2 questions about gameplay, 1 quest question, and 1 about plot.
1) how long does training last? I'm training in Scout, but when I went back into the shop, it says I'm still in training. How long 'till I can train some more?
2)I can't find a way around Ishad N'Ha for my horse. I walked out the other gate, but the map doesn't wrap around the town like it did in the first one. Do I need to leave her at a stable? Is there a path I can find? I'd hate to give her up.
Quest question: After delevering the package to the town mayor of Ishad N'Ha, do I need to return to Valeia to complete that quest?
Plot question: the Heretic Snake guy thinks he is the Champion / Chosen One / Neo... I can't seem to get any info out of him. Did I skip something?
Thanks for the help, and please avoid spoilers if you can...
