Summary: YMOB omega 0.70.5 bugs....
	 hang... no monsters...


Dear Omega 0.70.5 players,

    I have encountered the following bugs: 

1) In order to become adept,  I went the temple of destiny,
   and enter the magic portal for the infinite abyss.

   Without hitting 2 yes to each elemental station (except void),

   I become adept by visiting earth, water, air, fire,
   (Of course heal myself before enter the next station in sequence).

   As for the void station, I summon a Death, use apport to 
   get a Scythe and then drop to satiate the void station.

   then enter void to become adept....

   Guess what?  I could wish for Health, Wealth and Power, and 
   increase level (skill) after that....

    then, back at the temple of destiny, I was thinking of getting back
    to the country screen and ... the game put me back to the abyss
    screen.... (arrggghhhh)

  I manage to get out of this by issuing a core dump signal to the game
  after recovering the game, I found my character in country side...

2) Omega 0.70.5 hangs when trying to get into the Sewer cave under the
   city of Rampart, the Goblin's cave, the Archmage's castle, The hell
   volcano, etc.
  
   And after some core dump trick, I finally manage to get in the
   dungeons and found NO monsters.,.

   I could find some monsters in the treasure cave, but not star peak!
   (Entering the above two caves doesn't hang the game)

   BTW, Does anybody know where the isle of the Magic Eater is?
   I look at ocountry.dat and cannot find any island except for
   the main temple of destiny....

3) Since I cannot find the Lawbringer at Star Peak or the Magic Eater
   anywhere, I decided to summon them through a spell.  

   I killed them and took their corpes to the appropriate guilds,
   i.e. the college and the circle of sorcerors at Rampart,
   They do not honor it (Hmmm... I wonder this is a bug or just
   a feature!?)

   BTW, Anybody know where the CIRCLE of SORCERORS is outside RAMPART?

4) Saving of games anywhere besides the city of rampart or the country
   side ends up starting up in the City of Rampart with the monsters
   at the site you left off.

5) I cannot seem to convince the Duke that I killed the Goblin King
   and with The Goblin King's head on my shoulder.

   (But, the Oracle asked me to go and see her!) 

   the Oracle said I had done a good job...

   BTW, I killed the Goblin King by summoning...
   
6) The Goblin King is still not unique...
   I can summon it 2 times, and kill it two times...

7) Where did the scales of Dragons and Dragon Lords go when they die?
   I supposed they should have their scales left over for me to
   transform them.... (or the author changed this?)

8) After being adept, I can be follower of different dieities at 
   different times...

9) I still can cast blessing to items for infinte times....
   For example, I can bless a ring of strength to make my str to 3000
   and has 1000 pts of damage when hit!!!!!

10) My character is a gladiator and howcome he never gets to be
champion?
    What I mean is he could be promoted to a stronger and stronger class
    without a limit!?

and few others more....(Next time)

BTW, I cannot seem to do email to brothers@128.6.5.60

If some kind soul would inform the above bugs to the author....
(Thank you in advance)
