As a newish member of BoE, I'm playing through some of the scenarios. In River and Leaf, I've run up against a wall that I can't seem to pass, and the walkthrough on TrueSite for Blades doesn't seem to be working.
In Ingusi Lv2, there is a conversation with a barrier in front of the door, and you’re told to find a good place to listen. I’ve searched the entire area, and the only thing I’ve found is a bookshelf with a password I don’t know. What do I do?

There is a sign with a few words, one of them is the password.

Thanks, I'd tried most of the words on that sign, but not that one.

I've run up against another tought spot, (King) Scyld tells me "Go to Sweon and alert the guards. Then see if you can investigate the outpost." When I go to Sweon and talk to Ongen (the commander), I can't alert the guards.
What do I do?

River and Leaf is tricky, when I ported this scenario to the Blades of Avernum world I added a lot more clues for the player. I guess that it was hurriedly written to meet a contest deadline, hence a lot of the many puzzles are not well explained.

Sweon: you can't alert the guards. So simple. What you can do is look for a town that is suddenly visible, to the SE of Sweon.

At some point after this town you will hit the next two hassles.

You will find a door that requires a password to open. On the same level, you will chase somebody around, he will say "w**", you must say "uu**" or "vv**" to the door. (Here ** stands for two letters.)

Then later on, the game will appear to hit another dead end, you must get a log translated in one town, then go to a certain town.

Thanks, I would have really gotten hung up on the combo lock puzzle.
The log puzzle was easy, I'd found a guy who told me he could translate things when I was looking for Aeschere.

Now a riddle has me stumped. "Water on sand not under water." Any clues? (I know I need to note that the message comes by way of faint letters appearing) PS. I got the riddle about voices.

The Realms of Mist has one riddle which has no clue that I can perceive. You are confronted with a hidden encounter ceasing to be hidden, then you are asked for a reply. (Maybe I missed something?)

That idea of an illusory url is a good one, Nioca, I will use it here.

Thanks, but the last one (I hope) still has me stumped “Name it, so break it”
(it’s possible I haven’t tried as many guesses for this as the others, since I get attacked each time I try something new)

Wow, After all that it's a pity I couldn't beat the last battle without cheating. (I had played it through with only 31 spell points until the battle, for this battle I took 29 more and the spell protection, although I'll discard them again.)
A final Thanx for all your help.

For the final battle with Dracan I used a lot of Crystals of Shielding, this gave the party Invulnerability. Then I web page , after which I had to wait a bit.
