Welcome to the board, bsftcs!!!

Glad to have you posting instead of just reading!

If you've read the board extensively, you've probably come upon bits that relate how W&W was rushed to market so many of the original plans for the game got dumped. Sometimes items, such as the Book of Misfortune, got left in the game but serve no actual purpose. Rather like the "Rat Skull" from the crypt. Only the game designers know what plans were in store for these things.

The "Living Stone" is probably another case of something not fully developed in the rushed version. You won't find anything that results in a "aha, the Living Stone". Perhaps the Lavahounds qualify.

NPCs will give you quests but they don't care whether or not you complete them. Talrik doesn't care if you find his treasure. Erzebette won't respond to your delivery of her letter. These too may have been things the designers planned to flesh out without the chance to do so.

As for the treasury in the Stout Mines, you can go through the whole place and no one will blink an eyelid.
