At least, I now can survive the Cuisinarts! >:) :) :). I had trouble with this same sort of thing. I won't go into specifics because you may not have completed the quests I did. I haven't finished playing the game yet, but here is my understanding of the situation: You must do each quest with people who have not yet completed ANY quest. That is, none of the robbers that you take with you to Corak's cave can have already earned their 5 million pts. So if all your robbers have already earned their rewards, you either have to create another robber, or you have to just try to kick the door down in the cave. >Also, 3 of the clerics at various points in the game have suddenly had >around 16,000 gems in their posession, total around 48,000.

I'm playing on a PC, but I don't think that matters here. The gems might have been found without you even noticing them. There is a spot in B-4 where you get gems just by walking where they are, for example. >I also have a couple of other questions, not related to possible bugs. > >1) How do you kill Lord Shalwend in the time of Air?

Even if I >don't have to kill him, it's just the principle of the thing. :) I only fought him once--and ran.

What's worse is that once "Turn Undead" >has been cast, Holy Word never works in that battle. I have had this same problem, and I do NOT yet have the Holy Word spell so I don't think that's the problem. I'm afraid I can't answer this one either, but at least I can sympathize. Anybody know? > >3) Also, just out of curiosity, where is the hireling H.K. Phooey? He's >not where the cluebook says he's supposed to be. It's not like I need him >or anything, I'm just curious. Go to Sandsobar, eat the special meal called "Gourmet Dinner B Wyrm Chop Suey" and he'll turn up. Please note that the tip you get in this tavern is misprogrammed. Instead of "The Gourmet A3 7,6" it should be "The Gourmet A3 7,7." S.
