Hi all,

I'm stuck in Cadaver on the 3rd level -- the level where the king on the throne
sends you around looking for ingredients.  

I've gotten the first 2 ingredients: one by going thru the maze and one by 
going thru the kitchen area.  I use the 3rd key given to me by the king to
access the next set of rooms.  I don't get very far here.

I think this is my problem: In this set of rooms there's a room where it looks
like you need to drop 4 gems.  I only came out of the second quest (in the
kitchen areas) with 3 gems.  Do I need 4 gems?  If so, where are they all?
[off the kitchen area there was a room that had a barrel high up on a platform.
I got up there and pushed the barrel off, but nothing happened.  You can also
get the steel ball rolling up on this platform by putting it into a hole in
another room.  seems like there's something to accomplish here but I couldn't
figure out what.  is there?]

Thanks for any help,

-edg-

PS: Get Captive!  It's great,  I like it better than DM so far.  However,
one annoying thing is that after you drop the explosive (at the end of a level),
and go to the exit door you've got to figure out the door's exit code
each time.  Since there's a time limit before everything explodes, this 
means you need to save the game right before figuring out the code and then
having to cycle thru restoring the game until you figure out the correct
permutation.  Anyone else annoyed by this?  

Also I remember a previous posting about Corporation.  Can anyone compare it
to Captive! ?
