Thanks for your comments, all. Yes, this IS my first playthrough, and I AM having to get used to how you move in the world, and the interface, etc. If I had met a "tough guy" like Mon in "Lands of Lore III," the game I apprenticed in, I would've cut him down in mid-sneer. I promise not to rely exclusively on the "official strategy guide," but I did follow its advice about "re-rolling" the characters you want to create, in order to get started with some decent stats and some extra moolah. I settled on 2 warriors (a Human and a Whiskah), 2 wizards (an Oomphaz and a Lizzord), a Ratling rogue, and a female Dwarf priestess (the attractive one with the short, reddish hair). It's a party I like and have confidence in, but starting out with 0 experience points is asking for it, I'm sure. Haven't seen the Flamedrop spell yet, but Burn and Shock are cool and work pretty well. Also, I rode my first horse last night. That was fun. Giddyup, boy!
