Much thanks for the reply. I do save my games frequently; however it would be most sad to go back all the way before that one quest. Further, I did not know that the recovering the ball from the well was also a quest that effected the rankings. I could not see cutting open the critter on a whim to get a ball for the brat, so being the "nice" guy I am I let it live. It's good to know that you can miss a couple of them without the "ultimate" penalty being applied against you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Again, thank you for the prompt follow-up!
