Ok, got it! I have two more stupid questions, Kiya! (I guess this stuff is in the book (?) somewhere, but that's a lot like, um, studying, you know? I just loaded and went, so THANX for having the patience to answer these.) The crystals; I picked up the crystal bag and I have found several different crystals. I try to put the crystals "in" the bag, it flashes white, but the crystal just pops away and sits there. Is it supposed to disappear into the bag? It seems logical that crystals shoud go in the crystal bag...is that right? What am I doing wrong? 2) When I got the second battlefield key and went there no one was home. I ran through both levels and picked up all the good trash but got no experience points. Did I miss something I was supposed to do? Three and four were fine. 3) Are there other merchants--hopefully richer ones--than those in the battle fields? These guys are out of cash and I have a pile of stuff in the middle of the green. I have traded with anyone and everyone I've run across that will, but I need a real merchant!! 4) I got to the end of Act one in Samuel's Lair and the game freaked out!!! It turned into lines of color, dumped me off and then chastised me when I went back in for ending the game incorrectly; it wouldn't let me back in till I restarted my computer. Is this a bug? And if so, is there a download to fix it? 5) Thank you, thank you, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" /> thank you!!
