Resurrection works to revive
other characters - i.e. you can select one character to cast it on another dead character. You can't self-revive, but if you are playing with two characters, one can revive the other (I hope that made sense [img]graemlins/crazyeyes.gif[/img] )
Bats are annoying little buggers
Best advice for a low level character is to hit and run, preferably with a ranged weapon.
Sorry, red items are bad news
You must learn in the early part of the game to husband your resources carefully. Pick up, repair and sell as much as you can and always remember to repair your armour, weapons etc. I know it may be tedious to keep returning to town, but believe me, soon(ish) you won't really worry about money.
Above all, don't be discouraged - soon you will be hacking and slashing everything in your path [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]
Have fun [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
