It would be kind of fun if you could go from the bazaar, to Thayne’s village, learn magic, refuse the call to adventure from Dalris / Thayne / Perth, get your spellbooks erased by a spiteful Thayne, back to Freeton, find your own way to the college (no directions from Thayne), learn magic from Beldon and Arno, run into Dalris (awkward!), get into Landor’s room, to the crypts, done.Yes. You cannot avoid the initial meeting with Thayne, but you can keep that conversation as short as possible and go to the college arcane. From there, at your meeting with Beldon, as soon as he shows you the door you can go in, get Rufyl’s scroll, and go directly to the crypt thing. On this path you never meet Dalris.Obviously, if you want a teenaged boy to pay attention, you get the cute older girl to deliver the information.Hahahahaha!counts on fingersPretty sure there is no way to be 33 when the baby is conceived and 35 when the baby is born. Even if you were 33 years 364 days old at the moment of conception, you’d only be 34 years 279 days old when the baby was born. Maybe if you round up?Although keep your “less than one year equals two years” math in mind here for book 2….I love this plot rationalization sooooo much.Teccccchnically the AD&D version of Augury only revealed “weal or woe”. To get a descriptive sentence like that you’d need something like Legend Lore.HaHAH! Well, true enough, of course. We don’t know how the original builders get into and out of the crypt.  Maybe it was sealed off after its construction like the Egyptian pyramids. Maybe it got buried under subsequent civilizations’ buildings. However, in the context of the book, I think we have to take Rufyl at his word that only the Crypt Thing can teleport someone into the area.Hahahahaha! Best description of the Obi-Wan lie ever.Almost like Beldon didn’t really WANT to get into Landor’s quarters. Instead, he used the murder door to rid himself of ambitious students. Thus ensuring that the only ones left were those who lacked ambition (and are thus no threat to Beldon), or are too cautious and paranoid to try the door. In this way Beldon identifies the perfect people to join his eeeeevil scheme, in which the plan is to argle blargle glop glyph….Right?! Every bit of doubt that Team Good Guy unnecessarily sows in Carr’s mind is one more way their already fragile plan can fail.“Honesty is the best policy” is a cliché for a reason!</blockquote>
