Thank you for the info and the welcome, Raze!

Turns out that the Poison Creatures book being a book didn't automatically pick up when I clicked on it. It was lying there all along so I grabbed it and finished the quest. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

BTW, how do I force-attack NPCs? For example, what would I do if I wanted to kill the Kitchen Imp on the first level?

Also, every time I leave and re-enter the BF the trading NPCs have new stocks of gold (good) but very rarely or very slowly update their stock of items (bad!). Is there any way I can force the traders to cycle items more or faster?
