Yes, I went with a single slith through all scenarios. After the first one (VoDT) I was level 17!
The disadvantage: a single cannot carry a lot of stuff around. So you need more time to get money and spells, if you don't cheat.

Crystal of Purity quest in ZKR in Blades of Avernum

There are a lot of runes, I don't know, which one you talk about, but I can tell you, how I got the Crystal.
The teleporter throws you into a maze with these nice, purple aliens. At the northwall of the maze is a secret tunnel, leading to a room with four runes and some kind of channel with portcullis and a magical barrier. You open the magical barrier by stepping on the runes in NW and SE. After that, you have to defeat only three fire golems and the Crystal is yours. The portal leads back to your party.

Nuclear power is certainly the wrong way. As you name it, nuclear plants would be a great goal for terrorist attacs. And how can we leave waste, that poisons the world over decades? How can we leave such a mess to our children? We should go for harmless energies like solar, water or wind power.

But as it looks now, nuclear plants will be inevitable. Except, the Americans would suddenly start to save current and turn off their air conditions. But who cares about nature, when the personal comfort is threatend?

You could raise the matter to your politicians. Vox populi is never better heard than before elections. Catch that guys on their tours and ask them about environmental future.

Environmental protection probably works only, if the government is willing to do something and make it worthwile to the majority.

There is a wisp, no? Talk to it, it tells you to use the northern panel (if I remember right).
For the waste disposal. You have to go once around, the portcullis are on the southside. And I assume that you need a key.
Um ... isn't there a walkthrough for VoDT in the manual?

I am surprised to see, that America is not as solarly retarded, as everybody could assume, looking at his current chief warrior. I found some interesting links within short time. It seems, that Clinton already promoted the development of green power - thus, it might be only a question of time, to make altered energies fitting for majority.
In Switzerland, electricity companies offer the consumers already, to buy solar power - to a light increased price. And people pay that price, even my mother, who is generally rather conservative. The companies have problems to find enough solar power to supply the big demand.
I think, green power is faesible, it's a question of political will.

As long there is oil somewhere to loot, industrial countries have no reason to hurry up with changing to renewable energies ...
At present, gasoline is far too cheap. It should cost about five times as much, to cover all the follow-costs. We all support the cheap use of gasoline with our taxes (and our health).

There exist - beside hydrogen power - some good efforts with solar technlogy. People in car industry are not stupid. They know about the limits of oil and they all have their developments of gasoline-free cars in reserve. And yeah, they slowly start to make small cars with low use of fuel. We even have some few electrocars driving around yet.

But well, no, it's not going to be feasible on a large scale within a useful period, as long as an oil-dealer and his cronies rule the world.

I don't see why eating animals bred for food is a concern, frankly.
Kel, Stug, you name it. To produce 1 pound of meat, you need 20 pounds of plants. More than a third of the world crop production is used to raise meet. The grain, America feeds the cattle with, could solve every starvation problem all over the world ...
The consumption of meet is bloody too high. 1.3 billion people starve - as many suffer from over-feed. Meat production destracts heavily the environment. It's something to worry, because the meat consumption raises world-wide.

David, I don't complain about people eating meat. I complain about people eating any meat. It has to be much and cheep, so the production looks like e.g. this chicken farm Look, this is a swiss example. We have one of the strongest animal protection laws in the world. Can you imagine, how the animals are treated in a chinese farm? Quantity goes over quality, that is the big mistake.

Don't fly? Did you swim to Switzerland?
Air traffic is the fastest growing traffic, it has been doubled in the last ten years. In some years, air traffic will be the bigger source for CO2-pollution than cars. A flight from here to New York produces 252 tons of CO2. Flying gets cheaper, the greenhouse effect rises.
Don't fly means: Do not hop to New York over the weekend, just to buy the new iPod (as people do here ...)

Yes, bushfires are a natural feature in Australia, but they increase exceptionally and they have very bad ones, last time two years ago.

And what could be a bigger issue to worry about, than keeping alive the earth we are living on? Facing the gradually destruction of the base of our lifes, facing the over-populated, poisoned planet, facing the increasing lack of drinking water, every other issue will be obsolet.

I don't know, where you live, but the environmental desaster does not stop at state boarders. Every waste of nature in any industrialized country affects the global climat. But everybody could do things, to retard the ruin: Just be careful in your personal habitat. Do not drive a car, don't fly, don't eat dead animals, buy local and seasonal products, repair things instead of throwing them away, recycle materials, vote for green politiciens, etc.
Think global, act local - and care. As simple.

yeah, but the bigger issues ... IMAGE(rolleyet.gif)

Stugie, you should get an award for your sense of duty. IMAGE(smile001.gif)

About the koala kill (isn't "cull" a neat masking?): I really hope that this local disaster opens everybody's eyes to the urgency of a national environmental protection.
Australia's nature has been wasted. Since Europeans kolonized the continent, they destroyed 90% of the rain forests and 70% of the eucalypt woodlands. At least 41 bird and mammal species, more than 100 plants have become extincted. And the mismanagement goes on. 2'300 square miles per year are still cleared for pasture land, industries, settlements and golf courses.
The lack of trees causes a climatic change. Australia endures already dryness and bushfires, insects spread and transmiss epidemics over the cattle, fruit-fly damage costs $ 28.5 millions per year and the chance, people get skin cancer, increases. Australia is on the best way to become a Scorched Earth.
The problem is a political one.
There are governmental departments as Greenhouse Office, Natural Heritage Trust, Department of Environment and Heritage and so on - recently founded, possibly not too efficient, perhaps mutually pushing responibilities there and back .. anyway, they seem to be dead links in John Howard's mind. Last year, he even did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Because Bush didn't.
Please, Australian fellows on SW boards, prevent your Prime Minister from following America in environmental politics. Make him think, if it's possible.

Hopefully, the sacrifice of the 20'000 poor marsupials will have an alarming effect. Support local green orgs.
