In Exile III (Ruined World) v1.0b, Ring of Endless Magery, Tower of Zkal, Level 2 my party can't progress.

Using "Magic Map" does reveal yet another part of the dungeon to the North-East to be explored. In the "5-portal" - portal in the South-East corner I am stuck. My Magical Bibblelet suggest using the portals in the sequence: (46,40), (46,40), (44,46), (46,40). Of course I have tried (before and after consulting) different paths, alas to no avail. Now, the road back will be hard (I'd better save some Energy-flasks for that) so I aim to return WITH my prize.

Although I'm thinking of a typo in the HintBooklet, the Keeper referred me to this forum.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the boards! Please leave your sanity at the door.

The Tower of Zkal is very tricky. I would suggest going to google and looking for walkthroughs.

Edit: Oops, confusion between Drath and Zkal!

The portal order is North East, North East, South East, North East.

If you watch closely the mushrooms patches on the floor move each time you use a portal. Keep trying and eventually you will get past this part.

Hi guys, thanks for replying.

Randomizer: :confused: That's the way I always start-off with. Only then I'll look into the (up until now) unerring HintBooklet.

Micawber: :cool: Yes! I allready had been trying rotating and varying the sequence of the original solution. Well, the PCs do eat but never, eh, relief themselves. Nor do they have a shave, so I hadn't thought of mirroring the (or a) solution. Thanks!
My PCs now are ready to hear -in Terry Pratchett speak- many a HELLO FRIENDS, HERE AGAIN ?

BTW 1) Drat it! Is Zkal a verbal mix-up / puzzle? I do have an elaborate dictionary standing by. Very helpfull when encountering species like "Hivelings". Or was Zkal programmed after many a "skol" (= ÿour health / bottoms up)?
BTW 2) Do Nephilim (need to) shave?

If they did, then they wouldn't have any fur. Come on now, that would just be silly. :D

"The Nephilim are a race of feline humanoids". Now:
1) There are 2 sub-species of nakes cats: Sphinxen and Rex-cats. Emulating one would call for a full body wax. :eek:
2) I was only thinking of (if appliable) a facial shave. Leaving their proud moustaches standing. (Out of earshot referred to as whiskers ofcourse.)

Actually, rex cats have fur. It's just that they have curly fur. Sphinxes are furless, though.

Dikiyoba.
