Quote from: Richard on 26 April, 2024, 10:35:13 AMThanks mate. I actually did get through it without dying! There aren't many combats, although I was one point away from being killed by the Death Stone. The book is pretty forgiving, until you meet Myurr anyway. How did you beat him?
Nice! I got through on my 6th attempt. My saddest death using 'detect demon' on the monster on the cover thinking it was an illusion (it was not).
With Myurr, I had the magic sword still and I threw all my holy water over him - although looking at the book now I might be getting the fight muddled with the one in Vault of the Vampire (where you can also throw holy water) as I do remember destroying the special item as well..

I will check this out today! Thanks for the heads up!
