Wow- thanks for the advice!
I still am not having any luck with Rothman. I am afraid it will be useless but I'll give that email a try. I sold all the rope, purchased again, destroyed, found rope from the island and still no luck.
I have ventured into the island with this character. She is a mage mostly. The last one, the one I got stuck on, he was all malee. The magic seems easier to me. I have lowered the game play...should had done that on the first go.
I wasn't aware I could go into fjords. I thought it was a no turning back once you entered. Its good to know. I might jump there before going to Laiken's study.
With my mage character, I hadn't gotten to Laiken study, I am almost there. The old character, as I said, was a warrior. I had evade level 2 and my creature along with a demon. But the demon died quicker than I did! So I hadn't opt to have one and the ghost, I'm not sure what kind of damage it could do. I am very new at this game.
I keep checking with all the merchants but it seems as the stuff I have is better than what they are offering me.
Yep, I swam around the island. I kind of cheating by taking my foes out from the water's edge. I found it. I picked one because I couldn't defeat them both in my last character.
As of now: I have not got the guy out of the hole. I have rope but it won't work. I am on the island, just taking out creatures. I haven't picked my helpers but I know which I am going for. I haven't been in Laiken's Study with this new character. Everything that I could do in Broken Valley is done- 'cept Rothman. So I am almost where I stopped at before I restarted the game.
You are so helpful Raze! I really do appreciate you helping me out on this. Any advice I'll soak it up - I love spoilers so you won't damage my fun. I read books from back to front all the time.
