I didn't check if it times out if you don't have any encounters for a while. "Protons I" I think helps against the next spinner. There's one called "Stuff" which increases all magic areas a bit.<br /><br />Such a weird game mechanically. Fighting combats in the higher level dungeons doesn't make any sense as it just depletes your magic and doesn't seem to give you more experience. In the higher level dungeons encounters are so frequent I was just running away and reloading a snapshot when I took too much damage. Luckily I found the artifacts quickly.<br /><br />You didn't miss much in the end, here's what happens in the final dungeon in rot13:<br />Gur svany qhatrba vf yvxr gur sbhe hayriryrq qhatrbaf.

[Your Hydlide II/III joke made me chuckle, even while I also think they merit eventual inclusion on your list as English-language RPGs commercial released in the West.] It's the idea that we should have to apologize for informing you of something <i>completely relevant to your project</i> that takes me aback, even if said in 90% jest.)<br /><br />(And again, this is coming from someone who's worked on similar long-term projects, including one that started before your blog and hit the decade mark this year -- so I'd like to think I have some understanding of the frustrations involved, and perseverance required.)PK Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416777230563913195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-4449560840327597042018-06-05T01:01:00.368-04:002018-06-05T01:01:00.368-04:00Oh, I knew you what you meant, and that you were p...Oh, I knew you what you meant, and that you were partly joking.<br /><br />(It's the part of you that's not joking that leaves me bemused.
