I have been a reader of this forum for at least a year, but have not needed to post a question.
You have helped me though all the problems that I had with Wizards and Warriors.
The Tech Tips and the BEST TIPS threads had everything that I needed.

I just wanted to finally post a message to say “THANK YOU VERY MUCH”.

I have also enjoyed reading Stackman’s and Missy Hissy's Adventures.

(More info for those that care)

I first came here looking for a solution to a problem I had with the town of Ishad N’ha. When I entered the town I could not leave. The solution to that was to download Virtualdub and use it on the townmsk files.

Later I was stuck in Anephas’s Shrine. It had never occurred to me to try and pick up the obelisks since the cursor did not change when I put it over them, even thought it did change over mushrooms and buckets (that I never have found a use for).

Those were the two biggest problems I had that I found the answer from this forum.

Some of my first group's story:

I had been only able to leave Valeia from the west gate. Because of this the first time that I left town I ran into the group of Gunny Trolls (with the two Troll Mangu) and while trying to retreat back to town, I took a wrong turn and ran into the Highland Rogues. After I finally made it back to town (with a few dead characters) I learned the lesson of "THEY WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!!!!!". All the trolls and the rogues were waiting for me outside the town. It took me quite a while to finally kill all of them. Going thought more characters then I would like to admit, since I had falsely assumed the best characters to create to solve the problem were fighters. Level 1 fighter can't hit worth a darn. Six Wizards, each with burn and sock, would have solved the problem much faster.

Later, of course, I learned of the Reset Adventures button that would have also helped.

But I finally found the cemetery and even found the lever to enter the Crypt dungeon. The next trouble spot was the broken staircase. It took me forever to figure out how to get to the chamber above Flokis Ra's room. I also had not learned the game controls enough to jump back over the gap. So I would save before going down. I restored several times when I could not get back out, yes, that meant that I talked to Rethpian about the rats several times, sometimes given him Bilbump’s rat pie and sometimes not. My solution was to build a stack of chests and barrels in the hole and jump onto them and then back out (Stackman would have been proud).

I have since played through many times.
