Well, i'm looking for those stones now, and i just found the first one. I'm using the wizard staff to levitate over the land, because already i'm getting a little annoyed by all the attacks from bears, wolves, boars, and gnomes on boars, but man oh man, my PC isn't happy when i levitate through a snowstorm. I think i need an extra chip of RAM for this expansion.
Btw, i found an empty house in the village, noone was home, or so it seems, and i took the liberty of stuffing my goodies in one of the chests in that house. They should have locked the door.
