Law, I'm about ready to try anything, no matter how it sounds. I've managed to get most of the chests open with the Pry spell (with a couple of reloads from the stonegrave traps), and I do stand a good distance away from the chests in order to dodge the nasty things that shoot out. I think you might have a point, Law; the program seems incredibly tempermental, and the exact distance away from the chest might play a role.
Bungleau, your suggestion to keep the graphics setting on low seems to be working for now. Thanks again! It also has the bonus effect of making Scabban look even more hideous! I'm working on implementing your other suggestions, too. I'm trying one thing at a time to see if I can isolate the problem.
Now, F'Lokis is a pile of ash, I talked to Scabban, I got the Sigil of the Mavin, and I'm on my way to Ishad N'ha. Along the way, I decided to pay the Toads a visit and get a shiny, new spear from Shinwiki. However, when I tried to climb the ladder to get into Ekbu's hut, the game decided to hang again. And again. And yet again. I'm going to test the speech files again and see if Ebku's speech got corrupted.
The fun never ends!
