Thanks for the kind offer. However, it must have been a glitch because I redid it from an earlier save game (thank God I save frequently) and redid it, getting all 3 tablets. Now in the desert, cruising around, filling in the map, fighting Dumdee Oleohs and big bad bugs until I need to go back and unload my inventory. Still having to do this the hard way because I've never gotten high enough in Mooncraft to get any of the Teleportation or Call Home spells. Oh, well. Certainly lets one build up experience points.
