REVISION HISTORY:

- 8/31/01 Version 0.60 – Third update – Well, I finally broke the 50-
page mark with this update.  Completed the walkthrough up to D’Kor 
entering the Smuggler’s Cove.  I forgot to mention the Gannell scroll in 
the Fort Weyr Library, so I added that to the previous section. For 
those of you following my walkthrough to the letter, you’ll have to make 
an unscheduled trip to Fort Weyr to read this scroll, sorry about that. 
Other than that and the addition of the jump list, all that I added in 
this release is additional sections to the walkthrough.  Thanks again to 
all of you that keep sending email especially funkymushroom for your 
update. 
  
- 8/30/01 Version .45 – Second update – Completed the walkthrough up to 
about half way through the first night on Ista Island.  Thanks to all of 
you that sent me email on the items I was missing in the last version.  
I hope to finish Chapter 4 and 5 tonight and the rest of the walkthrough 
over Labor Day.

- 8/27/01 Version 0.25 – First update – Completed Chapter 2 and part of 
Chapter 3.  Corrected some minor errors as well and omissions as well.  
I modified the sections of the game covered by Chapters 2 and 3, because 
I thought there was more of a clean break in the action than there 
really was.  I’ll keep working on this walkthrough as much as I can.
- 
8/24/01 Version 0.1 - Initial version.  Completed the Prologue and 
Chapter 1.  All of the quest information that starts or finishes in 
these chapters should be complete.  (Except for the status on returning 
Hal’s hammer.  I forgot to do that at the end of Chapter 1.)  The List 
section should be complete for all of the information I know.  There are 
a couple of places where I don’t remember the exact details from my 
first run through the game, and I haven’t made it there on my second run 
through to give precise information. Enjoy.

**** Purpose of this walkthrough ****

      I’m writing this walkthrough due to the lack of any other 
walkthroughs out there.  I’m also writing this because some of the 
information I found on the message boards was either incomplete or 
misleading.  I’ve also been a big fan of all of Anne McCaffrey’s 
Dragonriders books and want to help others enjoy their experience in 
this world.  Finally, I’m writing this for the selfish reason of wanting 
to finish all of the quests offered.  (I figure if I’m going to post 
this, I better have the vast majority of the quests finished, or I’m 
going to have to go through a lot of email messages.)  Please feel free 
to send me an email if you notice anything missing, incomplete or 
confusing at [email protected]. 
      I am using the PC version of the game, so I’ll mention keyboard 
keys in certain places.  I know there are console versions of the game 
and I think the solutions I list in the walkthrough will work on any 
platform, but I’m not 100% certain.

**** The standard adventure game warning ****

      As much as the DRAGONRIDERS - CHRONICLES OF PERN has been 
presented as an RPG and an action game, the vast majority of this game 
is an adventure game.  As such, a good portion of the fun and 
satisfaction derived from this game come from self-discovery and solving 
the puzzles on your own.  Since this document is a walkthrough, it 
contains the solutions to (hopefully) all of the quests and puzzles 
presented in this game.  Reading past the particular problem that you 
are trying to solve could deprive you of some future sense of 
accomplishment.  In other words, read this at your own risk.
      As with all adventure games, read everything, take everything, 
talk to everybody.  If someone says he / she thinks that there are so 
many of a particular item, guest what, there’s that many of those items 
in the game.  Also, if anyone gives you a task to do and you complete 
it, make sure you go back to that person to get your reward.

**** Layout of the rest of this walkthrough ****

      The walkthrough portion of this document is divided into two 
sections.  The main section is a walkthrough of all of the major and 
minor quests in the DRAGON RIDERS - CHRONICLES OF PERN.  Also include in 
the main section are hints and advice for getting past certain action 
sequences.  The second section of this document is the lists and quests.  
The lists contain location of important items in the game as well as the 
location of all the items in a multi-item quest.  (The location of the 
ever-popular Trundle bugs being one such multi-item quest.)  The quests 
list all of the quests I’ve identified in the game.  Some of these 
quests are not listed as quests in your journal.
      In the main section of the walkthrough, I’ve broken the game into 
multiple chapters.  The game itself does not actually call out chapters, 
but I found there are distinct sections of the game.  Since the chapter 
titles could be spoilers, I’ve deliberately tried to make them vague for 
those who have not reached that part of the game.  Hopefully, if you’ve 
made it to that part of the game, the titles will make some sense to 
you.
      As you probably noticed, assuming you’ve gotten that far in the 
game, when you ride Zenth from place to place, you get a cool movie.  At 
least it’s a cool movie the first couple of times.  After you’ve seen it 
once or twice, you’ve probably pressed the space bar and the escape key 
to skip the movie.  Only the movie doesn’t end.  It keeps playing and 
playing and … Well, you get the point.  It gets very annoying when you 
have to travel back and forth multiple times trying to figure out what 
to do next.  I ended up doing that a lot in Chapters 4 and 5.  So to 
limit your exposure to this movie, I’ve tried to group things in such a 
way to minimize your travel.
      I've also labeled all of the quests I could find in the game.  
I've labeled each quest like this: QUEST #-#, where the first number is 
the chapter the quest is given and the second number is the order in 
which I present the quests in a chapter.  I've also listed every place I 
could find where your attributes increase and by how much they increase.  
I don't report strength increases after a certain point in the 
walkthrough, because you can pump your strength up as much as you like.

**** Background information ****

      In the DRAGONRIDERS - CHRONICLES OF PERN, you play D’Kor, a dragon 
rider.  His dragon is Zenth, who is a bronze dragon.  Bronze dragons are 
the largest male dragons, smaller only to the gold queen female dragons.  
      A little background information for those of you not familiar with 
the Dragonrider series.  The gold and green dragons are female and the 
bronze, brown and blue dragons are male.  The sizes of the dragons from 
largest to smallest are gold, bronze, brown, green, and blue.  The 
status of a dragon rider is determined by the size of his or her dragon.  
Gold Dragonriders are always female.  The rider of the dominant gold 
dragon in a Weyr (a home of the dragons and their riders) is the 
Weyrwoman, a position of great power and responsibility.  The rider of 
the dragon that mates with the gold dragon (always a bronze dragon) is 
the Weyrleader.
      Green dragons can either have a male or a female rider, although 
in the later years of the Dragonrider series, most of the green riders 
were male.  Green dragons are infertile because they chew firestone.  
(Firestone produces the dragons' flame when the dragons eat it.)  If a 
green dragon was fertile and successfully mated, she would only produce 
green or blue dragon eggs.   Since Bronze dragons are considered so 
highly in the Weyr society, a Bronze dragon is not allowed to mate with 
a green dragon.
      The society on Pern is divided into three sections, the Holds, the 
Halls, and the dragon Weyrs.  The Halls or Crafthalls contain all of the 
skilled workers of Pern.  These include the Harpers (singers, 
storytellers, and information gathers) and the Healers as well as a 
number of other trades.  The Hold owns and controls all of the land that 
is not physically occupied by a Weyr or a Hall.  The Hold Lord rules 
over all the people on his Hold’s lands, who do not belong to a Weyr or 
a Hall.  Finally, the Weyrs house the dragons and their riders.  
Together the dragons and their riders fight Thread, when it falls on 
Pern.  Each Weyr is responsible for protecting the land of about three 
different Holds.  In turn the Holds and the Halls are responsible for 
supplying the Weyrs with their supplies, in the form of tithes.
      That should be enough background information for this game.  If 
you would like more information about the Pern society and the dragons, 
I would highly recommend reading the Dragonrider series by Anne 
McCaffrey.

**** Overview of the game ****

      The DRAGONRIDERS - CHRONICLES OF PERN is an adventure game with a 
few additional components taken from RPG games.  It’s RPG components are 
(drum roll please) that you (D’Kor) have four different statistics and 
you will learn eight different skills before you finish the game.  I 
guess if you want to get technical, you can also upgrade two of your 
weapons, which gives the weapon a beautiful ‘*’ character next to it.
      D’Kor’s four attributes are Health, Knowledge, Reputation, and 
Strength.  All of these attributes, except for Health, will improve 
throughout the game as you accomplish different things.  Your Health 
goes from 0 to 100%.  It is lowered when you are injured or eat a 
poisonous herb and raised when you eat a healing herb or a medicinal 
potion.  
      The three attributes that rise through actions, Knowledge, 
Reputation, and Strength each have eight different levels.  Each of 
these different levels has a name.  Certain quests and plot events 
require you to achieve a certain attribute level.  Usually the 
characters will tell you what attribute level you have to be before you 
can complete a particular task.  For example, a character may say that 
moving a lever requires "FORMIDABLE strength".  If you look at the 
various strength levels, you will see that FORMIDABLE strength is the 
highest strength level you can obtain.
      Of these three attributes, you only have direct control over 
Strength.  Your strength rises every time you fight something or climb 
on / jump to a rock ledge.  You get five points every time you perform a 
climb / jump.  You gain more points for killing various things.  If you 
find a ledge that you can climb up and down, you can keep repeating this 
action, for five points a shot, until you get to FORMIDABLE strength.  
You can also reset the tunnel snakes and Wherries by going far enough 
away from their bodies and then returning.  Usually going far enough 
away means going to another section you have to load and then returning 
to the original section.  Killing these animals is more of a risk to 
you, since you can lose health and there is a limited number of healing 
plants available.  You can only raise your Knowledge and Reputation 
through events and quests.
      At some point early in the game, D’Kor will get a journal where 
every important event is recorded.  You don’t have to rush through the 
game looking for the journal, because you are afraid you’ll lose track 
of something without it.  All the information you receive before you get 
the journal will automatically be added to it when you get the journal.  
Also, some of the things you do are listed as quests in the journal and 
some of them are just entered as information.  The journal will leave 
room for additional information, so you’ll have an idea of how much you 
have left to do on a quest by the amount of space between that quest and 
the next entry.  The quest information is not highlighted very well, so 
it can be a little challenging to figure out what you’ve done and what 
you need to do.
      Finally, at the halfway point of Chapter 2, you have three 
different sets of clothes, your riding gear, your Dragonrider clothes, 
and some civilian clothes.  You have the ability to change clothes any 
time and anywhere you want.   For the most part, you can leave your 
Dragonrider clothes on all the time. You never need to switch into your 
riding gear.  This will happen automatically every time you ride Zenth 
to another location.  You will only have to wear your civilian clothes a 
couple of times in the game.  For each of these situations, one of the 
characters will tell you that you can’t do something while you are 
dressed like a Dragonrider.  Also, most of the characters seem to 
recognize you no matter how you are dressed.

      IMPORTANT NOTE: After triggering a certain point in the main plot, 
you may not be able to finish certain sub-quests.  I’ll try to call out 
in the walkthrough where these events are, so you can be sure to 
complete these quests without having to revert to a saved game.  While 
we’re on the topic of saving your games, here’s the next important note.

      SECOND IMPORTANT NOTE: You only get five different save game slots 
in this game.  You can’t label the save games either.  The saved games 
are named after the location that you made the save and the amount of 
time that you’ve been playing the game.  You get four save game slots 
when you press the escape key and another save game slot when you press 
F9, for a quick save.  The game automatically saves the game for you at 
certain points in a sixth slot, but you can’t really rely on this too 
much.  Since there are so few save game slots and it is possible to get 
in a position where it is impossible to solve a sub-quest, if you rotate 
your save game slots too much, you may not be able to get solve a 
particular sub-quest without restarting the game.  You could back up 
save games to a different directory, outside of the game to help lessen 
the chance you’ll have to restart the game.

      FINAL IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a bug with sneak mode and picking 
items up.  There are a couple of locations near the end of the game 
where you can activate sneak mode.  In some of these locations there are 
also buttons to press or items to pick up.  The problem is, the sneak 
mode icon is showing, not the pickup or activate icon.  You can get the 
pickup or activate icon by pressing the 0 / Insert key (Ins) on your 
numeric keypad.  This will toggle you between the two states.

      MINOR ANNOYANCE: For those of you that have sleeping spouses or 
live in an apartment with paper thin walls, the music in this game can 
get really loud at certain points.  The most notable times are when you 
are at the New Game menu and when you are taking Zenth to travel to a 
new location.

**** Fighting Tips ****

      At various points in the game, D’Kor will have to fight different 
creatures or people.  The fighting is pretty simply, but some of the 
later opponents can kill you in one or two shots, so you always have to 
be careful.  It also helps to press F9 just before a fight, so you can 
restore your game if you get killed or take too much damage.
      You will eventually get several different weapons, but all of the 
fighting falls into one or two different modes, melee fighting and 
crossbow sniping.  The most common of these is the melee fighting.  The 
most important thing to remember is always use the most powerful melee 
weapon you have.  Even if the other opponent is attacking you with their 
fists, the game won’t penalize you if you strike back with a sword.  The 
order of attack strength, from greatest to smallest is sword, knife, and 
fists.  
      Regardless of which weapon you are using, the fights will be 
identical.  You will hold down the left or right key to get to the side 
of your opponent.  When you get on their side, you swing by pressing the 
up arrow key.  If you spin around your opponent and they spin around 
with you, take a quick swing and then move to the left or right quickly 
and attack again.  Most of the time, if you stop to take a swing, your 
opponent will lunge after you a second later.  If you’ve moved to the 
side when they attack, you’ll have a clear shot at their side.  If you 
don’t kill them with this shot, start spinning again and repeat the 
whole process.
      Note that the melee fighting can be very challenging sometimes 
because the camera doesn’t follow you correctly.  If this happens, try 
to maneuver yourself into an area where you can see.  You may have to 
put away your weapon and run to a visible area, but this could lead to 
D’Kor’s death.
      The crossbow fighting is much easier.  All you have to do is 
select the appropriate crossbow in your inventory and activate it.  You 
will then go to a first person view with a small crosshair in the 
center.   Position the crosshair on your target and press the space bar.  
If you hit your target, it will go down.  You can only hit Trundle bugs, 
switches and targets with your first crossbow, so don’t bother aiming it 
at anything living.  You’ll also get close to 90 arrows to hit 6 Trundle 
bugs and a couple of targets, so don’t worry if you happen to miss a 
couple of shots.

**** Interacting with your dragon, Zenth ****
      
      Dealing with Zenth is pretty straight forward, but I’ll include a 
section on it, just for completeness sake.  You can ask Zenth about the 
area you are current in, but most of what he tells you is pretty 
obvious.  (“You are in Fort Weyr - Your home.” WOW!!! Really!!! I had no 
idea!!!)
      You can travel to another one of the five possible locations by 
selecting the “I’m ready to leave” option.  You have to be in a large 
enough location for Zenth to land before you can leave.  What this 
really means is that each of the five locations has one area where Zenth 
can land.  In Fort Weyr, it’s the Fort Weyr bowl.  In all other 
locations, it’s the area where Zenth originally lands.  The area is 
defined as any place that you can go in the landing area without having 
to load a new section.  So, in Fort Weyr, any outdoors location in the 
Fort Weyr bowl is considered an acceptable place, even if you are by the 
outer doors and the land spot is near the Fort Weyr entrance.

**** Known bugs and other issues ****

      There are a number of bugs and issues with this game that make 
your life a little difficult.  The most obvious problem with the game is 
the camera angles.  The camera angle for some areas is fixed.  When you 
move to another area, the camera jumps to a new location.  Only 
sometimes, the camera forgets to jump.  Then D’Kor is in one area and 
your looking at the area where he used to be.  If this happens, you have 
to try to move D’Kor blindly until he’s either back where you are 
looking or he triggers another camera change.
      This bug gets really annoying when you are melee fighting.  The 
way the fighting system works, you have to circle your opponent and 
strike it / him from the side.  Sometimes while you are spinning around, 
you will spin off screen and have no idea where you are.  At other 
times, you can see yourself just fine, but you can’t see your opponent.  
In either case, you fight has just gotten much harder.  The only thing I 
can tell you is to try to stay in the area where you can see the most.  
Sometimes sliding left and right over a small area is easier than 
completely circling your opponent.
      The other major issue happens when you have multiple actions to 
select in the same area.  Some times your fire-lizard will give you one 
of the actions, but not the one that you want.  There’s an undocumented 
way to rotate through all of the available options.  On the PC version 
of the game, pressing the 0 (Ins) key on the keypad will toggle between 
the available options.  You have to do this to press the buttons in the 
Prison area, but this is helpful to know throughout the game.  If you 
see a crowd of people and want to talk with a particular person, you can 
use the 0 (Ins) button to select the person instead of trying to 
position D’Kor so the correct person is selected.
      There’s an annoying issue where you can’t select anything or talk 
to a person until when you first walk into a new area.  Most of the time 
that you make a transition from one building or level to another, an 
image appears on the screen along with the name of the location.  You 
won’t be able to activate anything until this image completely fades 
away.  This means you that is you want to talk to some character, you 
will have to stand next to the character and wait for the load image to 
disappear before you can initiate the conversation.
      There are several situations in the game where a character will 
tell you that you need to talk to another person or give another person 
some item, but they will tell you the wrong character.  For example, 
when you find your first ancient artifact, Zenth tells you that you 
should visit Klor in Mastersmith Hall.  The correct character, however, 
to give the ancient artifacts to is Forn.  In another situation, Fin 
tells you that there is a Trundle bug on the beach of Ista when the 
Trundle bug is on the beach of Ierne Island.  Just be aware that some of 
the advice you receive in the game is inaccurate.
	There are also other random places in the game where the sound for 
the voices will stop but the text will continue.  Do not chose the voice 
only option or you will miss some important information when the game 
decides to make the characters mute.
      I get the feeling that some quests were added or modified during 
the development of this game, but the character’s speeches were not.  
There seems to be a couple of places where the characters hint about a 
quest that does not exist in the game.
      A minor thing, but it seems like N’eth’s name was changed at the 
last moment.  Every time a character says his name, it sounds a little 
off, almost like a different person said his name.
      The last major issue in the game is that there is no way to skip 
any of the cut scenes.  With the exception of the opening movie, you can 
not skip any of the movies or cut-scenes.  So if you go back to a 
previous location in the game, you will have to listen to every 
conversation in full, even if you’ve heard it already.  The most 
annoying instance of this is when you travel from location to location 
on Zenth.  This little movie takes a long time to before it finish.  
You’ll get to see this movie a lot before the game is over.

**** Things I haven’t figure out ****

       I’ll update this section in the next release.  I’m not sure what, 
if anything I’m missing right now. (Thanks for all the email for the 
last set of questions!)

Any advice on anything that I’ve missed up in the walkthrough up 
to this point would be appreciated.

******************
**** PROLOGUE ****
******************
      
      The prelude is designed to let you get use to the controls without 
much pressure.  Zenth, your dragon will tell you what to do if you get 
stuck.  If you do something Zenth does not like, such as try and leave 
your room, Zenth will fuss at you.

      After the introductory movie and a fly-over of Fort Weyr, you 
awaken from a bad dream in you bed.  You have a hangover from drinking 
too much the night before at Nalaya's wake.  Zenth tells you that his 
hide itches.  He needs you to brush oil on him.

Starting attributes: Health 10%   Knowledge 0 (ABLE)    Reputation 0 
(HONEST)  Strength 0 (WEAK)
Starting skills: none
Starting location:       Upper Levels of Fort Weyr - your bedroom

QUEST P-1: Oil Zenth
       The oil is on the shelf to the right of the fireplace.  The brush 
is in the room to the right.  I think it's a bathroom / shower.  Just 
take right turn at the shelf and start walking to the wall.  You'll 
probably notice the camera issues in the game with this action.  You 
can't see the bathroom until you step on the right spot to trigger the 
camera change.  Sometimes, the camera doesn't change when it should and 
you have to play with the controls until you see D'Kor again.  This gets 
especially annoying when you're fighting.
      Enough of this aside, pick up the brush and return to the bedroom 
and then go through the center door in the back of the room to Zenth 
weyr.  Go to Zenth's head and activate the bottle of oil.  D'Kor will 
pour the oil into the bucket.  Activate the brush on Zenth head to start 
a cut scene.

      In the cut scene, Zenth tells you that S'bor wants to have a 
meeting you.  The cut scene marks the end of the Prologue.

      None of your attributes change during the Prologue.

**************************************
**** CHAPTER 1 - The Weyr meeting ****
**************************************

      Chapter 1 starts with the end of the Prologue's cut scene and ends 
with the start of the Weyr meeting.

      Exit Zenth's weyr and grab the not on the table in your bedroom.   
The note tells you to get your knife back from K'tan.  

QUEST 1-1: Get your knife from K'tan.

      As you exit your bedroom, grab the note on the floor.  It's from 
S'bor and tells you that he wants you to round up the other members of 
Alpha Wing for a meeting to discuss the search for a new Weyrwoman.

QUEST 1-2: Visit Lytah, S'lon, B'rak, K'tan, T'men, L'tul, F'ben, N'eth, 
and V'hul.  Get each one of them to come to the meeting.  (Finishing 
Quest 1-2 will end Chapter 1.)

      As you leave your bedroom, Zenth tells you that Craftsmaster Dorn 
has finished repairing your riding gear, so you need to pick it up.  
Zenth also tells you to do something about your hangover.  (The only 
reason to come back to your bedroom after this point is to hatch fire-
lizard eggs, so there's no reason to keep checking here.)

QUEST 1-3: Pick up your riding gear from Craftsmaster Dorn.
QUEST 1-4: Find a cure for your hangover.

      We're lacking two important things right now - a map of Fort Weyr 
and a journal to record our quests.  Luckily, we can get both of these 
things doing the same quest.  We'll start by getting the map.  Follow 
the corridor down to the large room.  This is the Meeting Room.  Go to 
the Fort Weyr Library, which is across the Meeting Room, directly 
opposite the entrance to your bedroom.

      In the Library, talk to Lockenn.  Lockenn tells you that he is 
looking for his journal.  Lockenn will also offer you a map of the Weyr.  
Well, here's our map

QUEST 1-5: Find Lockenn's journal and return it to him.

      Now that you've got your map, I just tell you the name of the room 
instead of giving you detailed instructions to that location.  Go down 
to the Middle Levels. Then go to Lytah's room and talk to her.  She will 
tell you that N'eth got mixed up with one of the kitchen staff.  She 
will also offer you Lockenn's diary.  As you leave, Lytah reminds you 
that it is her nameday (birthday) and that you gave her a beautiful 
pearl last year.  Lytah goes to the Weyr meeting after your 
conversation.  (First Dragonrider for QUEST 1-2)

QUEST 1-6: Find a pearl for Lytah.  (You won't be able to complete this 
quest until Chapter 2, at the earliest.)

      Take the journal back to Lockenn in the library.  He gives you a 
new journal.  He tells you to write all of the important things you 
find, but you'll need the Scribing Skill first.

QUEST 1-5 COMPLETED: Reputation +20 (Total: 20)

      To get the Scribing Skill, you need to go to the Scribing Room on 
the Lower Levels of Fort Weyr.  Talk to Kevan in the Scribing Room and 
he will teach you the Scribing Skill.  He gives you an ink stylus and 
tells you how to use your journal.

SKILL AWARDED: Scribing Skill (Your first skill.  Mom would have been so 
proud!)

      Now we've got our map and our journal, so let's start finding and 
solving quests.  We'll start at the bottom of Fort Weyr and work our way 
up.  You'll notice that Jillan is guarding the doors to the Fort Weyr 
bowl.  You will not be able to get to Fort Weyr bowl until we've gotten 
most of the Dragonriders to the meeting.

      You'll notice Dorn's Workshop is on this level.  Since QUEST 1-3 
wants us to pick up our riding gear from Craftsmaster Dorn, let's pay 
him a visit.  Talk to him and he'll give you your riding gear.

QUEST 1-3 COMPLETED: Riding gear acquired. (You’ll need your riding gear 
before you can travel by Zenth to another location.)

      That's all for the Lower Levels, so we'll go up to the Middle 
Levels and start recruiting Dragonriders.  We you arrive on the Middle 
Levels, you'll hear crying coming from the unnamed rooms.  Inside 
Gillian's crying.  When you walk in the room, Gillian will approach you 
and tell you her son Jim is missing after playing last night in the Weyr 
Bowl.  She says her husband Mullen is also looking for Jim.

QUEST 1-7: Find Gillian's son Jim.  (We won't be able to complete this 
quest until we can visit the Fort Weyr Bowl.)
      Now run across the main corridor to V'hul's room.  V'hul will give 
you a ballad to give to F'ben.

QUEST 1-8: Deliver V'hul's ballad to F'ben.

      Continuing on in the Middle Level's run down the hall until you 
see the woman, Emmara, in front of the tapestry.  She will tell you she 
is making a tapestry of all of Pern in great detail.  She will tell you 
she needs someone RELIABLE to give her information about Pern.  Since 
RELIABLE is the second level of reputation, you will need to level up 
one level before she will take information from you.

QUEST 1-9: Help Emmara finish her tapestry of Pern.

      Now it’s off to the Dragonriders' rooms.  Since B'rak's room is 
closed, we'll go to the next available room, N'eth's.  Talk to N'eth and 
he'll tell you that he can't go to the meeting because he's too afraid 
to leave his room.  He knows he insulted someone last night and drew a 
knife on that person, but he doesn't remember who it was.  He's afraid 
that if he doesn't apologize to the mystery person, he's going to get a 
dagger in the back.

QUEST 1-10: Find out who N'eth insulted and apologize for him.  
Reputation +20 (Total: 40) for accepting the quest.

      S'lon's room is next to Lytah's, so we'll talk to him next.  You 
see firsthand S'bor anger towards S'bor.  After talking with S'lon, he 
agrees to go to the meeting.  Knowledge +10 (Total: 10) for talking with 
S'lon.
      Next stop, the Gambling Room.  You'll find T'men and B'rak playing 
dice on one of the tables.  Talk to both of them.  They refuse to go to 
the meeting until they've finished their game.

QUEST 1-11: Stop T'men's and B'rak's game so they'll go to the Weyr 
meeting.

      Walk around to the side of the table and grab the dice when they 
are on the table.

QUEST 1-11 COMPLETED: T'men and B'rak will go to the meeting.

      We've already taken care of T'men, so F'ben's room is next.  Talk 
to F'ben and deliver V'hul's ballad to him.  After venting his anger on 
you, he will go to the meeting.

QUEST 1-8 COMPLETED: F'ben goes to the Weyr Meeting.  Knowledge +10 
(Total: 20) Reputation +20 (Total: 60)
      
      L'tul's room is closed, but we'll find him later.  So, now it's up 
the stairs to the Kitchen area.  We'll start with the Stores.  When you 
climb the stairs, you should see a cut-scene of the Kitchens opening.  
If you don't see this cut-scene, come back later.  Regardless of whether 
or not you see the cut-scene, you can talk to Kendrick in the Stores.  
Kendrick mentions that there is a great shortage of ores in the last 
shipment.  He says he needs to ask the trader that brought the ores in 
what happened.  Knowledge +50 (Total: 70)

QUEST 1-12: Investigate the ore shortage.  (You won't be able to finish 
the Quest until Chapter 9.)

      Skipping the Kitchens a moment, we'll go to the Dinning Area and 
talk to Horlas.  Horlas tells you chef Tom is in a bad mood because a 
Green Dragonrider insulted his food.  (A hint for the N'eth quest.) 
Horlas also gives you a jar, which you'll use to hold Trundle bugs. 
Dragonriders T'lor and H'ram are also in the Dinning Area.  You can talk 
to them, but it's not necessary.

      Now we'll visit the Kitchens.  Rowarth is outside of the door to 
the Kitchens and he tells you that the Kitchens are open or closed.  He 
also tells you that Tom Keating, the chef is upset because a green rider 
has insulted his food.  So, we'll talk to Tom.  You apologize to Tom for 
N'eth.  Tom tells you he forgives N'eth. He also tells you that he has a 
favor that he wants to ask of you if you go to Fort Hold. 

QUEST 1-10 COMPLETED: Apologized for N'eth. N’eth goes to the meeting. 
Reputation +20 (Total: 80), Knowledge +25 (Total: 95)

QUEST 1-13: Tom wants you to return his favor by doing something for 
him.

      Next, talk to Roma in the Kitchen.  Roma wants you to find some 
ingredients to help him with his Hatching Ceremony meal. For accepting 
the quest: Reputation +15 (Total: 95), Knowledge +25 (Total: 120, 
Knowledge level increases to CONVERSANT)

QUEST 1-14: Get the ingredients for Roma's Hatching Ceremony meal.  (You 
won't be able to finish this Quest until Chapter 9.)

      Lastly, talk to Urik in kitchen.  He offers you one food item and 
a cure for your hangover.  Drink the headache cure and your health will 
be restored to 90%.

QUEST 1-4 COMPLETE: Found a cure for you hangover.  Health +80%

      Since we've apologized to Tom for N'eth, we should tell N'eth the 
good news.  Return to N'eth's room and talk to him.  N'eth decides to 
apologize to Tom in person.  As he leaves, he tells you that his dragon 
Azoth has identified Ramalla, Kendrick’s daughter, as a potential 
Weyrwoman.

QUEST 1-10 COMPLETED: N'eth will go to the Weyr meeting.  Reputation +40 
(Total: 135, Reputation level increased to RELIABLE), Knowledge +50 
(Total: 170)

QUEST 1-15: Get Ramalla, Kendrick daughter.  She is a potential 
Weyrwoman.

      Our Reputation level just increase, so we can now talk to Emmara 
about her tapestry quest.  All this really does is activate official 
activate QUEST 1-9.

      Let's tie up one more loose end by talking to Kendrick in the 
Stores about his daughter Ramalla.  He's seems happy about the news.  
Knowledge +50 (Total: 220)

      We've done all we can on the Middle Levels of Fort Weyr for the 
time being, so lets go upstairs to the Upper Levels.  Head towards 
K'tan's room and you should see Fin. Talk to him.

      Next, go to K'tan's room.  Talk to K'tan.  He mentions that N'eth 
did something to upsetting last night (old news).  K'tan will give you 
your knife back and offer to teach you how to use it.  After following 
K'tan's instructions, you will get the Knife skill.  K'tan will offer to 
spar with you for practice.  Take him up on it for an easy strength 
boast.

QUEST 1-1 COMPELETED: Strength +40 (40), K'tan goes to the Meeting Room 
and waits for the Weyr meeting (Another Dragonrider for QUEST 1-2.)
SKILL AWARDED: Knife Skill (2nd skill)

      Next we'll talk to V'Kai, in his room.  V'Kai won't speak to you 
until you reach the knowledge level of CONVERSANT.  V'Kai tells you to 
find 10 suitable Weyrwoman candidates in Pern.  He tells you to see him 
again sometime, but he won't talk to you again until your reputation 
level is RESPECTABLE.  

QUEST 1-16: Find ten Weyrwoman candidates (You won't be able to finish 
this Quest until Chapter 9.)

      Now would be a good time to go to the Library and read all of the 
scrolls you can.  The Queen's Hatching Ballad is needed for a Quest in 
Chapter 2.  This scroll is in the first bookshelf to the left when you 
enter the library.  Another scroll you need to read is the one titled 
“Gannell”.  It contains the epitaph you need for a later quest.  The 
Gannel scroll is on the bookshelf just to the left of the entrance to 
the Weyrleader’s Private Reading Room You can try to go to the 
Weyrleader’s Private Reading Room, but Mishra won't let you enter until 
your reputation level is HIGHLY REGARDED.  Your Knowledge will increase 
+25 (Total: 245) for attempting to enter the Private Reading Room.

      You should now have all the Dragonriders except for L'tul.  Talk 
to any of the riders in the Meeting Room and they will tell you that 
L'tul is looking for Jim.  (Quest 1.7)

      You have to go to the Fort Weyr Bowl to find Jim, but talking to 
the riders seated at the Meeting Room table will get Jillan to open the 
doors to the Bowl.  Go down to the Lower Levels and out to the Fort Weyr 
Bowl.

      Let's walk around the Bowl in a counterclockwise direction.  
You'll notice there's a ramp to your right almost immediately next to 
the exit to Fort Weyr.  You can ignore this for now.  You don't have the 
strength to move the boulder on top yet.
      The first person you run into is J'cob.  J'cob will tell you how 
to talk to Zenth, if you haven't figured that out already.  Cross the 
bridge and notice the boarded up cave entrance.  We'll be going back to 
this entrance in a few minutes.  You may notice some green herbs growing 
in the Bowl and other places.  These herbs are either healing or 
poisonous herbs.  You can't tell the difference until you get the 
Healing Skill in Chapter 5.  Eating them now will either randomly 
increase or decrease your health.
      Continue moving in forward until you find Helan playing beside the 
water.  Talk to her and ask her about Jim.  She will tell you that Jim 
went to trap tunnel snakes in the Dark Caves.  She tells you Jax knows 
where the Dark Caves are.  Confront Jax and he will confirm Jim went to 
the Dark Caves and offers to give you a map of the caves.  Accept the 
map.
      Now talk to Jillan, who is by the main gates.  If you have the jar 
from Horlas, he tells you his daughter Imogen wants six Trundle bugs.  
He gives you the crossbow and the crossbow skill.  The crossbow with the 
darts you have can only be used to stun Trundle bugs and hit targets.  
The crossbow darts will be useless against any live opponents. Knowledge 
+50 (Total: 295, Knowledge levels up to Knowledgeable.)

SKILL AWARDED: Crossbow Skill. (3rd skill)
QUEST 1-17: Collect 6 Trundle bugs for Jillan's daughter Imogen.

      Continue going counterclockwise around the bowl until you run into 
Perry on the cart.  He will tell you that he is the head of the caravan 
and that the Masterminer did not give him enough ore.  He speculates 
that the ore has gone to some other project.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 320)

      You can ignore Hal for the time being, except to note that he has 
a hammer.  Cross the bridge to the next island and enter the house. (Not 
the stable)  Ramalla is in the house.  If you talk to her, she will 
become a potential Weyrwoman.

QUEST 1-15 COMPLETED: Ramalla becomes the first Weyrwoman Candidate.  
Reputation +100 (Total: 235), Knowledge + 50 (Total: 370)

      Leave the house and cross the bridge to the windmill.  Talk to the 
Miller and he will tell you that the lever to start the windmill is 
stuck and only a person with FORMIDABLE strength can move it.

QUEST 1-18: Move the lever on the Fort Weyr windmill.

      Now cross the final bridge so you are almost back to where you 
started.  Just before the entrance to Fort Weyr, there's a large 
entrance to the Hatching Grounds.  Enter the Hatching Grounds and talk 
to Syllia.  She will give you a fire-lizard egg (blue) and tell you that 
you can hatch it, if you have a Knowledge level of KNOWLEDGEABLE, which 
you have.  Reputation +15 (Total: 250, Reputation levels up to LOYAL)

      Go back to Fort Weyr Bowl and return to the boarded up entrance.  
Mullen will be shouting at the entrance.  Look at the boards and Mullen 
will tell you that he thinks the boards need to be smashed.  Now we can 
go back to Hal and talk to him.  D'Kor borrows Hal's hammer to break the 
boards.  Return to the boarded up entrance and hit the boards with the 
hammer.  Mullen runs into the cave.  Follow him.

      Mullen will stop in front of a wall and says that the wall is a 
recent cave-in.  Smash the wall with the hammer.  (Mullen requires you 
to have a knife before you can continue in the caves.  See the K’tan if 
you don’t have the knife already.)  Follow Mullen through the new 
opening to the bridge and talk to him.  (Now would be a good time to 
save your game, by the way.)

      Run across the bridge and prepare your knife.  We're going to 
fight Tunnel Snakes!  The bridge will collapse behind you as you run 
across.  Go down the tunnel and kill the Tunnel Snake on the left.  
Strength +20 (Total: 60).  You can run down this tunnel and you see a 
cut scene where Jim tells you to take the other direction.  He also 
tells you he dropped his trapping basket.  There will be a set of 10 
darts lying on the floor of this tunnel on the way back.
      Go back and take the tunnel that you skipped.   You'll come to 
another fork with a Tunnel Snake off to the right.  Save your game and 
kill the Tunnel Snake.  Strength +20 (Total: 80) Go down the tunnel the 
Tunnel snake was blocking.  Be careful because there are two more Tunnel 
Snakes down here.  Kill both of these Tunnel Snakes.  Strength +20 for 
each (Total: 120, Strength level increases to STANDARD.)
      After you have killed the two Tunnel Snakes, you will find a 
Tunnel Snake egg (part of QUEST 1-14) and a Trundle bug running around 
(part of QUEST 1-17).  Collect both of these items.  To catch the 
Trundle bug, shoot it with the crossbow and then pick it up.  You can 
only collect one Trundle bug at a time, so make sure you visit Jillan 
after you capture each one.  If you are having troubles using the 
crossbow, check out the Fighting Tips in the beginning of this 
walkthrough.

      Now go back up the tunnel you came down and chose the passage that 
did not have the tunnel snake.  You'll come to a series of rocks you can 
hop across.  For every jump or climb you do, you gain 5 points of 
Strength.  Since you can jump back and forth as much as you like, you 
can pump your Strength to whatever level you would like.  Everyone's 
Strength will be different from now on, so I won't give any more 
Strength totals.  I will recommend what Strength level you should have 
at different points and I will leave it up to you to get the required 
Strength.

      Now back to the walkthrough, continue forward in the passageway 
you just jumped to and you should enter a room with another tunnel 
snake.  Kill the snake and notice the basket on the upper platform.  
Climb up the rocks, get the basket, and climb back down.  In the same 
room, you should see a rock blocking an opening between the last gap you 
jumped to get the basket.  You need a Strength level of TOUGH to move 
the rock.  Jump up and down on the rocks until you get to this Strength 
level. Once you've reached the Strength level of TOUGH, move the rock 
and enter the opening.  You will find an ancient artifact that looks 
like a black rectangle with yellow, green, and red wires coming out of 
the side.  This is a knife upgrade artifact, since you can give this 
artifact to someone in Mastersmith Hall later who will upgrade your 
knife in return.  (Zenth says you should take the artifact to Klor, but 
you really give it to Forn.)

      To continue our rescue attempt, go down the passageway you haven't 
entered yet.  It should be to the left of the rock that you moved when 
looking at the rock from the direction that you entered the room.  
There's one more Tunnel Snake here, so save as necessary.  Jax's map 
stops here.  Kill the Tunnel Snake and notice the gray wall that looks 
like the wall you broke earlier.  You can not do anything about this 
wall now, but we will come back here later.

      Continue down the passage to Jim.  A metal door will close just 
before you reach him.  Back up to the pile of rocks just before the 
metal door.  Hit the rocks with your hammer.  A large stone will break.  
Push the stone and the stone will stop in the doorway.  The stone will 
stop the door from closing.  Now you can slide under the door.  The door 
will slam shut behind you, breaking the rock.  You can talk to Jim and 
he will tell you that there has to be another way out of the tunnel.
      
      Look at the metal rod to the near side of the mining cart.  Hit 
the bar with the hammer.  The hammer will break, but the bar will move.  
Push the cart and it will run down the tracks and smash into the wall.  
This will lead you back to the Lower Levels of Fort Weyr.

QUEST 1-7 COMPLETED: Rescued Jim.  Reputation +50 (Total: 300)

      L'tul will be waiting for you after the cut-scene with Jim and his 
parents.  Talk to him and he will go to the meeting.

      We can go to the meeting now, but let's dump off our Trundle bug 
with Jillan in the Fort Weyr Bowl first, just to empty our jar.  
Reputation +15 (Total: 315)

      Give the hammer pieces to Hal and apologize to him.  Reputation 
+20 (Total: 335) NOTE:  This is the only time you can talk to Hal and 
give him back the hammer.  If you wait until after the meeting, Hal will 
already have found a new hammer.

      Go back to the Middle Levels and talk to Gillian. Reputation +50 
(Total: 385)

      Time to go to the Upper Levels and start the Weyr meeting.  The 
meeting starts as soon as you walk towards the Meeting Room table in the 
Upper Levels.

QUEST 1-2 COMPELETED: After you have collected all of the Dragonriders, 
go to the Meeting Room on the Upper Level of Fort Weyr.  The meeting 
will start automatically when you approach the meeting table.

      The Weyr Meeting will be a cut scene advancing the plot.  You and 
K'tan are to fly to Fort Hold to look for possible candidates.  You are 
also called on to go to Mastersmith Hall to learn what is happening with 
the missing ore.  The cut scene ends with you in your bedroom.

      At the end of Chapter 1, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 370 level - KNOWLEDGEABLE, Reputation: 385 Level - LOYAL, 
Strength: 500 Level - TOUGH

      We made 0 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 0 jumps in 
the game so far.

******************************************
**** CHAPTER 2 - The Fort Hold Gather ****
******************************************

      Chapter 2 starts with the end of the Weyr Meeting and ends when 
you see the cut scene of Branth making a jump Between.

      You start this Chapter in your room, after being awaken by K'tan.  
He wants you to meet him in the Fort Weyr Bowl to fly to Fort Hold.  We 
have a couple of little things to tidy up before we leave for Fort Hold, 
however.
      First, we have a fire-lizard egg that we received from Syllia in 
the Hatching Grounds.  You can hatch the fire-lizard egg by selecting 
the sand container next to the fireplace.  You will see D'Kor place the 
egg in the sand and a blue fire-lizard will appear on the nearby rail.  
If you select the blue fire-lizard, it will replace your green fire-
lizard.  The only real change this has on the game is that your fire-
lizard change color and the wings surrounding your selection action show 
the color of your current fire-lizard.  Pick whichever fire-lizard you 
like best and exit your room.
      When you reach the Meeting Room, V'hul gives you a message to give 
to Lamrat.  He says the message officially informs Fort Hold of Nalaya's 
death.

QUEST 2-1: Deliver V'hul's message to Lamrat.

      Go down to the Middle Levels and talk to Jim.  He tells you that 
his mother has banned him from eating sweets and playing with his toys 
for two weeks.
      Run and talk to Emmara on the Middle Level.  She will ask you what 
type of animal lives down in the Dark Caves.  Answer her with "Tunnel 
Snakes".  Reputation +15  (Total: 400)

      Now go to the Kitchens and talk with J’cob.  J'cob tells you that 
he isn't feeling well and that Healer Hall is full.
      Talk with Tom, since he asked you to do him a favor next time you 
go to Fort Hold.  He asks you to deliver a letter to his brother Jak 
Keeting, who's the head chef at Fort Hold.  (Second part of Quest 1-13) 
Reputation +20 (Total: 420)
      Talk with Roma and give him your Tunnel Snake egg.
      Talk to Kendrick in the Stores.  He will tell you that there is a 
black Trundle bug running around.  Look down and you should find it.  
Collect the stunned black Trundle bug, which is our second Trundle bug. 
(Quest 1-17)
      Jax should be running around the kitchen level some place.  Talk 
with Jax, he tells you someone wants Llama hair in the cow pens exchange 
for Flax.  Now go to the Fort Weyr Bowl.

      Even though K'tan is waiting for you in Fort Weyr Bowl, let's do a 
couple of more things first.  Take the ramp that lies to the right of 
the entrance to Fort Weyr.  At the top of the ramp is a rock you can 
push.  Behind the rock are another knife upgrade Ancient Artifact and 10 
more crossbow darts.  Now drop off the black Trundle bug with Jillan.  
Reputation +20 (Total: 440)
      If you run into Helan, she will tell you that she found something 
very old, but she will only give it to somebody DEPENDABLE.  Since you 
are not at this level yet, she tells you she can't trust you.
      Now we can finally talk to K'tan.  You can't miss him.  He's next 
to that huge dragon.  K'tan will tell you how to use Zenth to travel to 
different places.  Take Zenth to Fort Hold.

      After a long cinematic cut-scene, you will arrive at Fort Hold.  
(Since when did dragons open a wormhole when they jump Between?  They're 
just supposed to just disappear.  I guess that doesn't look as good in a 
movie, though.)

      When you land, K'tan says that he will talk to Lord Gralt and that 
you should look for search candidates.  Knowledge +10 (Total: 380)

      Your journal tells you that we should deliver the note to Lamrat 
first, so lets do just that.  If you run straight ahead from where you 
landed, you will see a person in white standing in the middle of an 
archway.  (He's directly opposite the man with the broken cart.)  Walk 
up to Lamrat and watch a cut scene.  Pleasant isn't he.  He mentions 
that there is a thief in the market, so he won't let anyone into the 
Hold.  

QUEST 2-1 COMPLETED: Note Delivered to Lamrat. Knowledge +50 (Total: 
430)
QUEST 2-2: Get past Lamrat somehow to enter Fort Hold.

      From Lamrat, we'll walk around the courtyard in a counterclockwise 
direction.  The first person will reach is in the stall just to the 
right of the main entrance (with the broken cart).  Either Parlan or 
Archen will be at the both.  Talk to whichever one is there.  Parlan 
will give you new boots and Archen will give you a new set of clothes.  
You need both the clothes and the boots, so you can either wait for 
Parlan and Archen to switch or you can come back later and hope the 
correct one is there.

      Next to the clothes stall, there's a man named Faran with a broken 
cart.  The bracket on the wheel broke and the HerdBeast pulling the cart 
died.  The cart is blocking the exit to Fort Hold, so you won't be able 
to leave Fort Hold until you help Faran.  Knowledge +15 (Total: 455), 
Reputation +20 (Total: 460)

QUEST 2-3: Faran needs a new bracket and a new HerdBeast so he can fix 
this cart.

      You should see a young girl name Keela playing around the broken 
cart.  She asks if she can touch your Dragon. 

QUEST 2-4: Keela wants to touch Zenth.

      Agree to her request, and Keela will give you some sweets as a 
thank you gift.

QUEST 2-4 COMPLETED: Keela gives you sweets. Reputation +15 (Total: 475)

      Now let’s move on to the next vendor, Skarn.  He asks you to 
deliver a tapestry to Salyn, headwoman of the Harpers.  Knowledge +10 
(Total: 465)

QUEST 2-5: Deliver a tapestry to Salyn for Skarn and return to him when 
you are done.

      The next booth is empty, but the one perpendicular to it, manned 
by Borl is giving drinks.  Accept all of the drinks he offers you.  
Don't worry, you won't get drunk.  He gives you a bunch of advice.  
Knowledge +25 (Total: 490).  You may see Parlan or Archen at the drink 
booths, but they don't tell you anything important.
      
      Next we'll talk to Taolousien, on the benches next to the drink 
stand.  He tells you that there are ancient caves below Fort Hold.  
Knowledge +25 (Total: 515, Knowledge level increases to INFORMED)
      Now talk to Malorien, on the benches next to Taolousien.  He 
confirms Taolousien's story and tells you the entrance is in the 
kitchen.  He hands you a map of the Ancient Caves.

      Arrie is selling pies next to the men on the benches.  She tells 
you that there is a thief in the Gather and that the thief took a bunch 
of pies and her map of the Gather.  You both agree that your Dragonrider 
uniform will scare off the thief.

QUEST 2-6: Capture the thief in the Fort Hold Gather.

      Moving along past the doors, we come to the trinket stand of 
Derna.  She has a mining bracelet and a wooden top available. Ask her 
for the top and then talk to her again and ask for the mining bracelet.  
She says the mining bracelet costs three marks.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 
540)

QUEST 2-7: Buy the mining bracelet from Derna.

      The final man in the Fort Hold courtyard is Joliad on the noisy 
pottery wheel.  If you talk to him, he tells you to go away.  The 
journal says that D'Kor thinks the potter needs a new bracket for his 
wheel.  Knowledge +20 (Total: 565)

      Let's go into the Fountain Square before capturing the thief.  The 
Fountain Square is through the doors between Arrie's and Derna's stands.  
We'll walk around Fountain Square clockwise. 
      
      The first important person we find is Harat.  He sells HerdBeasts.  
He won't lend you his HerdBeast, but he'll give you one for a baby 
Tunnel Snake.  Knowledge +30 (Total: 590)

      Next to a coach is Manwor.  He tells you that one of his crew is 
sick, he has sick cattle, and bandits attacked him on the way to the 
Gather.  He does tell you that he is good with a sword.

      On a bench near the fountain is Skjald, playing a harp.  D'Kor 
tells him to play his music in the main square so he will get a bigger 
audience.  Reputation +15 (Total: 490)

      Daize is crying on another bench, between her two parents Kastalla 
and Sanell.  Daize is upset about losing her toy dragon.  Reputation +15 
(Total: 505, Reputation level increased to Trustworthy), Knowledge +10 
(Total: 600)

QUEST 2-9: Find Daize's toy dragon, near the kitchens or storeroom of 
Fort Hold.
      
      Neelet will tell you that the archery contest is for civilians 
only. Knowledge +25 (Total: 625)

      The final group of people is next to the doors.  They are 
complaining about the size of the Gather.  Stephe can't find the Llama 
hair he's looking for.

QUEST 2-10: Stephe is looking for some Llama hair.

      Take a look near the fountain.  There should be another blue 
Trundle bug running around.  Capture the blue Trundle bug. (Our third 
Trundle bug for Quest 1-17)

      Time for a change of clothes. Change into your civilian clothes.  
(You may want to save your game first.)  Go back and talk to Neelet.  
Agree to join the archery contest.  Wait you turn and then try to hit 
the yellow part of the target.  If you get a ring closer to the middle 
than any of the three other players attempt, you win.  If one of the 
other players get closer to the center than you did, you lose.  When you 
win, you get one mark.

      Now it's back to the Fort Hold courtyard.  You may again want to 
do a quick save before you enter the courtyard.  You should see a cut 
scene of the harp player, Skjald arguing with the potter, Joliad.  At 
the end of the cut scene, Joliad storms off.

      When you are in the courtyard dressed as a civilian, at some point 
the thief will steal your knife.  The thief's name is Natty.  When you 
attempt to talk to Natty, he will run away.  A cut scene will start 
where you chase Natty.  He gives you your knife back and a map.  You 
threaten to turn him in and he teaches you how to sneak past Lamrat.

SKILL AWARDED: Stealth Skill

      Talk to Skjald and he will thank you then tell you that the potter 
ran off and left his wheel.  Sounds like an invitation to pick up that 
wheel, if you ask me.

      Return to Arrie.  She thanks you, but lets you keep the map.

QUEST 2-6 COMPLETED: Thief captured and Arrie informed.  Reputation +15 
(Total: 520)

      Run over and talk to Faran.  He will tell you that the bracket on 
the potter's wheel is the right size for his cart, but you have to get a 
smith to remove it.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 650)

      Talk to the potter, Joliad, again and he complains that someone 
stole his wheel.

QUEST 2-11: Return the pottery wheel to Joliad.

`      Time to break into Fort Hold.  Go behind the boxes, where you 
cornered Natty the Thief.  Switch into Stealth mode, and sneak past 
Lamrat into the Hold.  (You have to wait for Lamrat to move away before 
you can sneak past him.)

QUEST 2-2 COMPLETED: Got past Lamrat to enter Fort Hold Hall.

      Walk past the pillars to the large Hall.  Let's walk down the 
right side of the Hall.  You can walk past the two men arguing in from 
of Lord Gralt's doorway.  The first person after them you'll run into is 
Larin, in front of a statue.  He will tell you he has to fix one of his 
statues and he doesn't have time to uncover the other five of them.  
Knowledge +10 (Total: 660)

QUEST 2-12: Uncover the statues for Larin.

      Directly across from the statues are some men working on a wooden 
stage.  Janeth should be the first person you see.  He has lost his bag 
of nails.  Knowledge +10 (Total: 670)

QUEST 2-13: Find Janeth's bag of nails.

      Walking around the stage, you should find Tolwin hammering.  Talk 
to him and he drops his bag of nails and walks away.  Pick up the bag of 
nails and return it to Janeth.

QUEST 2-13 COMPLETED: Janeth gives you one mark.  Reputation +15 (Total:

      Move back to the second stage.  You should find Tregard next to a 
bunch of boxes.  He complains that the boxes are in the wrong locations.  
Knowledge +10 (Total: 680)

QUEST 2-14: Move the boxes from in front of the kitchen to where Tregard 
is standing.

      On the stage is a man named Narak who complains that he can't get 
the acoustics right in the Hall.  I don't know if there is anything to 
do to help him.  If you know of anything to help him, please tell me.

      Near the boxes blocking the kitchen, Ralliss is sweeping.  She 
will give you a bronze key if you talk to her.  The bronze key opens are 
door in Harper Hall.

      Now, let's move the boxes to Tregard.  All you have to do is 
select the box and D'Kor will move it automatically.  You get +10 
Strength for every box.  Reputation +15 (Total: 550) after the last box 
is moved.  Talk to Tregard after you move the boxes.

QUEST 2-14 COMPLETED: Tregard gives you one mark.

      There's a carved wooden dragon toy under one of the boxes you 
moved.  Go back and pick up the toy.  This is the toy Daize lost for 
Quest 2-9.
      Finish the statue quest (2-12) by walking around the Hall and 
selecting each covered statue.  Return to Larin when you are done.

QUEST 2-12 COMPLETED: Larin gives you one mark.  Reputation +15 (Total:

      We've finished all of the quests in the Fort Hold Grand Hall, so 
now we can go to the Kitchen.

      Run straight back in the Stores and Kitchens.  You should run into 
Jak, Tom's brother.  Talk to him and deliver the Tom's message.  He 
tells you if you need anything, come back to him.  

QUEST 1-13 COMPLETED: Reputation +30 (Total: 595)

      There's no one else in the Kitchens that helps to advance the 
story, but Anne is a tribute to Anne McCaffrey, the creator of the 
Dragonrider stories.  Exit the Kitchens and go back to the Fort Hold 
Courtyard.  As you approach the exit to the courtyard, Lamrat will 
accost you.  (You may have talked to Lamrat if you waited in the 
entranceway too long.)  Lamrat asks you to get the cure for the disease 
going around from the Ancient Caves below Fort Hold.  Accept his quest 
and he will tell you that you need a light source to enter the caves.

QUEST 2-15: Lamrat wants you to retrieve the disease's cure from the 
Ancient Caves below Fort Hold.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 705)

      Now go outside and visit Derna again.  Buy the miner's bracelet, 
since you now have enough money.  We could go back, talk to Lamrat and 
enter the Ancient Caves, but let's do some other things first.  Go back 
to the Fountain Square and give the toy dragon we found in the Grand 
Hall back to Daize.

QUEST 2-7 COMPLETED: Mining bracelet purchased.
QUEST 2-9 COMPLETED: Kastalla gives you carving of Fort Hold's Harper.  
Reputation +20 (Total: 615)

      Go back to the Fort Hold courtyard and call Zenth.  It's time for 
our second viewing of the travel movie.  Tell Zenth to take you to 
Mastersmith Hall.  You change back to your Dragonrider clothes when you 
land, but that's all right because we won't need the civilian’s clothes 
again until Chapter 4.

      In the pond next to where you landed, you will see some shells 
zipping around.  These are oysters.  If you shoot them with the 
crossbow, they will open.  When you pick up an open oyster, you will 
either get an edible oyster or a pearl.  I did not find a pearl in any 
of the oysters at Mastersmith Hall, but I think it is possible to find 
one here.
      Run past the large building and the windmill until you see two men 
sitting on a mining cart.  Talk to both of these men, Rellat and Nisan.  
Rellat will tell you that there has been an increase in the demand for 
ore and a decrease in the available supply.  Rellat thinks that someone 
is taking the ore for a big project.
      Nisan notices your mining bracelet and offers to teach you the 
mining skill.  Accept his offer and he will tell you that you need to 
find a pickaxe to break open hidden seams.

SKILL AWARDED: Mining skill.

      Now go back and talk to the Miller.  He tells you that the lever 
on his windmill is stuck and the sails on the windmill are missing.

QUEST 2-16: Find new sails for the Mastersmith Hall Miller and get 
FORMIDABLE strength to move the lever.

      Head back towards the main building we past earlier.  In the 
standing rocks in front of that building, you will find Guy.  Guy has 
lost his pickaxe.  Knowledge +10 (Total: 715)

QUEST 2-17: Find Guy's pickaxe.

      The pickaxe is lying on one of the large rocks near where you talk 
to Guy.  You'll have to walk around the stones to find it.  Give the 
pickaxe back to Guy.  (We'll find another pickaxe to use for our mining 
skill soon.)

QUEST 2-17 COMPLETED: Guy gives you a sword.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 
740)Reputation +15 (Total: 630)

      Guy tells you that you need to find someone to teach you how to 
use the sword.  He recommends finding a trader to do this.
      
QUEST 2-18: Find someone to teach you how to use your new sword.

      Now we will finally enter the large building.  You will find Govan 
on entering the Workshops.  Talk to him and he will tell you to go away.  
Knowledge +35 (Total: 765)

      Next in the shop is Forn.  He asks you if you have any artifacts.  
If you give him an artifact, he will upgrade a weapon for you.  You have 
two knife upgrade artifact, so give both of them to Forn. (You have to 
talk to him once for each artifact.)  Knowledge +25 (Total: 790)
      In the back of the Workshop, you will find Klor.  Talk to him and 
he will remove the bracket from the pottery wheel and fix the pottery 
wheel (needed for QUEST 2-3).  If you talk to Klor again, he will tell 
you that he dislikes Govan.
      Leave the Workshops and go back to where you talked to Nisan.  
There should be a pickaxe next to the cart they were sitting on.  Here's 
the pickaxe you needed.  We're now done with Mastersmith Hall, for the 
time being, so call Zenth and go back to Fort Weyr.  (You don't have to 
go back to the landing zone, you can call Zenth from right next to 
Nisan.)  This is our third jump with Zenth.

      Back at Fort Weyr, drop your blue Trundle bug off with Jillan.  
Reputation +25 (Total: 655).
      Enter the Dark Caves from the entrance that used to be boarded up.  
Across from the entrance you smashed to get to the bridge is a rock 
seam.  Hit the seam with your pickaxe to open it.  Behind the wall, 
you'll find a medicinal brew.
      Now go into Fort Weyr, the Lower Levels.  Enter the Dark Caves 
from here.  You should see Gethen looking at the metal door.  Go through 
the metal door and up the passage way to the next seam.  Break this seam 
and you will find a Tunnel Snake egg. Note:  If you go too far up the 
passageway, you will have to fight a Tunnel Snake.
      Go back to Fort Weyr and go to the Middle Levels.  Talk to Jim, 
near the entrance to the Upper Levels.  He will give you a baby Tunnel 
Snake if you give him the sweets and the wooden top.  Reputation +30 
(Total: 685)  (Baby Tunnel Snake is part of Quest 2-8.)
      While we're here, visit Roma and give him the Tunnel Snake egg we 
just found.

      The important thing for us to get was the baby Tunnel Snake.  
Since we've gotten this, we can go back to Fort Hold.  This will be our 
fourth trip Between.
      
      Back in Fort Hold, talk to Faran.  You will give him the wheel 
bracket.  Talk to Joliad again and give him his wheel back.

QUEST 2-11 COMPLETED: Reputation +20 (Total: 705) (Hey, 20 Reputation 
points for returning something you stole!  We should steal more stuff 
and we'll be most trustworthy person around.)

      Now head back to the Fountain Square and talk to Harat.  You will 
give him your baby Tunnel Snake and automatically take the HerdBeast 
back to Faran.  Reputation +80 (Total: 785)

QUEST 2-3 COMPLETED: Faran moves his cart out of the way so you can 
visit Harper Hall.  Reputation +80.
QUEST 2-8 COMPLETED: Harat gives you a HerdBeast for Faran.

      Before going through the opened gate, go back to Fountain Square.  
The pen where the HerdBeast use to be is now empty, so we can enter it.  
Near an isolated gate, is a pile of Llama hair.  Pick this up and give 
it to Stephe.  He will offer you a bundle of Flax for it.  Since we need 
Flax for Roma's feast, accept his offer.

QUEST 2-10 COMPLETED: Stephe gives you some Flax.  Knowledge +10 (Total:

      Now we can go through the gates cleared by Faran and enter Harper

dinning room.  You'll find Brona and Salyn near the fireplace.  Talk to 
Salyn and give her the tapestry.  Salyn will tell you to come back to 
her if you travel someplace new. (Half of Quest 2-5 finished: Tapestry

needs a bigger weapon.  We already have the weapon, we just need the

QUEST 2-18 COMPLETED: SKILL AWARDED: Sword Skill

QUEST 2-27: Make Lord Gralt pay the traders the agreed amount even 
though the traders lost most of their HerdBeasts.

      Now go back to the Stores and Kitchens and use Lamrat's key to 
enter the Ancient Caves.  Select the mining bracelet and activate it.  
This will give you some extra green light.  (Save your game here.) Again 
go down the tunnel and take a left.  Kill the Tunnel Snake.  You get +20 
to Strength for killing the Tunnel Snake.  

      Continue down the tunnel guarded by the now dead Tunnel Snake.  
You will come to a room with a shaky looking rock bridge.  Run across 
it, but the bridge will collapse and you will be dropped to the bottom.  
You will end up in a pool of water.  There's another Tunnel Snake in the 
water, so be prepared.  Near the dead Tunnel Snake, there's a rock you 
can climb up.
      Jump to the second rock and you will see a Wherry.  The Wherry 
will attack you, so kill it with your sword.  You get +50 for killing 
the Wherry.  (If the Wherry hits you, you will lose a significant 
portion of your health.) Climb up to the tunnel and enter it.  You will 
find another Tunnel Snake in the corridor.  Kill it and continue on.  
You will come to another bridge, which you can safely cross.  Guess 
what, you'll meet another Tunnel Snake on the other side of the bridge.
      At the fork, take the tunnel to the left, kill the next Tunnel 
Snake and you will eventually get to another rock landing.  (The tunnel 
to the right will take you back to the collapsed bridge and another 
Tunnel Snake.)  A Wherry will fly over an attack you.  Kill it and start 
jumping rocks.  (Watch out, there's an herb on the platform that D'Kor 
would rather pick up than fight the Wherry.)
      Enter the next tunnel and kill the next Tunnel Snake.  Keep going 
and at the fork, take the right and kill the next Tunnel Snake.  You 
can't go any further down this passage, so go back to the tunnel on the 
left.  You will go down a ramp and be at a stream.  There are two paths 
to the left and right each of which takes you up to stone.  You have to 
push the stones into the water and then hop across the stones to get to 
the next tunnel.  You get +10 Strength for pushing each stone.  (By the 
way, this is not a bad place to hop rocks and get the next Strength 
level or even FORMIDABLE Strength.)
      After your rock jumping fun, climb up to the next tunnel.  Follow 
the tunnel to the Wherry.  Kill the Wherry, and the door behind the 
Wherry will open.  Enter the door and you are now in the Metal Cave.

      When you enter the cave, the door behind you will slam shut.  Turn 
to your left and follow walk behind the boxes. You should see a metal 
pipe resting against the crates.  Take the pipe and move to the next 
door on you right.  When you approach the door, the door should open 
slightly.  Use the pipe on the half open door to open it completely.  
You may have to move around to get the action to trigger.  Enter the 
door and you'll be in some kind of computer room.  Between the third and 
fourth computer console, you will find a strangely textured skin.  Take 
the skin and read it.  It gives you the safe entry code.  Now walk to 
the top of the ramp near the door.  Facing the door, turn to your left.  
You should see a grate on the floor.  Select the grate, and D'Kor should 
open it.  Enter the grate, and you will be in some kind of storage room.  
There will be another skin on the floor.  This skin will have the door 
entry code.  Once you have read the skin, D'Kor should be able to use 
the keypad next to the door.  Open the door to the storage room to get 
back to the first room in the Metal Cave.  Go to the only door you 
haven't entered you and activate the keypad.  Then walk to the door and 
the door should open.
      In this new room, there will be a safe on the left. If you've 
looked at the safe skin, D'Kor will open the safe.  Inside the safe are 
another knife ancient artifact and the skin for Lamrat.  Now walk to the 
table and move it.  Activate it again and D'Kor will climb on the table 
and open the vent.  D'Kor will automatically climb out of the vent and 
end up back in the Ancient Caves.
      There will be a nice Tunnel Snake waiting for you when you arrive.  
Kill it and go down the tunnel it was guarding.  You will arrive at a 
rock bridge.  You can safely run across the bridge.  Across this bridge, 
you will climb another tunnel to a ledge you can walk across.  There 
will be a new tunnel across the ledge.  Part way up this tunnel, there 
will be a rock seam you can break with your pickaxe.  Behind this wall 
is a Wherry egg, medicinal brew, and a drum pattern.  D'Kor says that 
the drum pattern looks similar to the one the scribe gave to him.  
Knowledge +10 (Total: 1190)

QUEST 2-28: Take the ancient drum pattern to Tinossi.
      
      Back in the tunnel, there will be another Tunnel Snake around the 
bend.  After dispatching the snake, follow the tunnel to the top.  You 
will find a boulder at the top.  Push the boulder and jump down.  You 
should be almost at FORMIDABLE Strength by now, if you aren't already 
there.  Do some rock climbing until you get FORMIDABLE Strength.
      Next to the tunnel in the lower chamber is another rock seam.  
Behind this seam are a Tunnel Snake egg, 10 more bug darts, an herb, and 
the ballad the Kilimi is trying to remember.  (You can find the ballad 
here or in the Fort Weyr Library.)  Walk straight down the tunnel and 
you'll be at the door back to Fort Hold.  Open the door and in a cut 
scene, Lamrat will take the cure from you.

QUEST 2-15 COMPLETED: Gave the cure to the disease to Lamrat.

      Talk to Jak in the kitchen and he will heat the pies up for you.  
Head back to Healer Hall with the warm pies. As you run down the Great 
Hall, Zenth tells you that K'tan is dying.  You are brought back to 
Healer Hall.  Give the pies to Merrick.  Merrick will pull you into the 
back of Healer Hall and he gives you a warning about the sickness.  He 
tells you that you need to go to Ista Island.

QUEST 2-26 COMPLETED: Get food for the sick in Healer Hall.  Knowledge 
+25 (Total: 1215) Reputation +50 (Total: 1005, Reputation level 
increased to OF GOOD STANDING)

      Talk to K'tan then exit Healer Hall and go to see Tinossi.  
Tinossi will take the drum pattern so she can show it to Hered.  
Reputation +30 (Total: 1035)

      Exit Harper Hall and go back to Fort Hold.  You will see a cut 
scene of Branth, K'tan's dragon, committing suicide.  (This means that 
K'tan has died.)  This also means that Chapter 2 is complete.

      At the end of Chapter 2, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 1215 level - INTELLIGENT, Reputation: 1035 Level - OF GOOD

      We made 4 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 4 jumps in 
the game so far.

*********************************
**** CHAPTER 3 - Healer Hall ****
*********************************

      Chapter 3 starts after the cut scene of the Branth jumping Between 
and ends when D'Kor leaves for Ista Island.

      After Branth jumps, Zenth tells you that Lord Gralt wants to see 
you and that S'lon in Fort Weyr wants to know what happened.  Since Lord 
Gralt is in Fort Hold, let's visit him first.

      Go to Lord Gralt's Room off of the Grand Hall of Fort Hold.  He 
will tell you more of the disease and of a conspiracy against your Weyr.  
D'Kor asks Lord Gralt to help Manwor and the rest of the traders.  
Knowledge +50 (Total: 1265, Knowledge levels up to CLEVER)

      Go back outside and talk with Manwor.  He is happy that he is 
going to be paid.

QUEST 2-27 COMPLETED: Reputation +40 (Total: 1075)

      Now go back to the Fort Hold Courtyard.  We're going back to Fort 
Weyr.  WARNING - Once you leave Fort Hold, all the traders will leave.  
If you still need to talk with one of them, now is your last chance. END 
OF WARNING.

      As you leave, Lamrat stops you and tells you that he overheard a 
conversation that between S'lon and another person.  He said that he 
thinks S'lon is trying to poison S'bor.  Lamrat gives you a letter to 
give to V'hul.

QUEST 3-1: Give Lamrat’s letter to V’hul.

      Ride on Zenth to the Fort Weyr.  Before advancing talking to S’bor 
and advancing the plot, we need to work on some of the side quests.  
First, go up the ramp in the Fort Weyr Bowl where we pushed the rock and 
found the knife upgrade artifact.  When you reach the top, you should 
see a cut scene of Jim and Helan talking.  Listen to Helan when she asks 
if she can tell you something.  At the end of the conversation, Helan 
will give you a Wherry egg. Reputation +30 (Total: 1105)

      Now go back down the ramp and to the house we found Ramalla.  
Behind this house is a well.  Activate the well and you will get a fire-
lizard egg.  (Thank you to everybody who told me about this!)  If you 
activate the wheel again, you will get 10 darts.  If you activate the 
wheel again, you will get an amusing conversation between Zenth and 
D’Kor.
      Since we now have FORMIDABLE strength, run across the bridge to 
the windmill.  Pull the lever and the gate in the back of the windmill 
will open.  There are 10 more darts inside.

QUEST 1-18 COMPLETE: 10 darts available.

      Go now to the Middle Levels of Fort Weyr and talk with Emmara.  
She will ask you what the dominant animal in the Ancient Caves is.  The 
correct answer is “Wherries”.  Reputation +20 (Total: 1125)

      Go up to the Kitchens and talk with Roma.  You will give him the 
two Wherry eggs, one Tunnel Snake egg, and the bundle of Flax you’ve 
collected.

      Now it’s up to the Upper Levels.  There’s a meeting about to start 
on the Upper Levels.  When you approach the table, a cut scene begins.

      After the cut scene, you learn that you are supposed to travel to 
Fort Hold and then to Ista Island.  The cut scene ends with you in your 
room.  Knowledge +100 (Total: 1415).  

You can hatch the fire-lizard egg before you leave.  You will get 
a brown fire-lizard on the perch next to the fireplace.  We need to go 
to Fort Hold, so make your way to the Fort Weyr Bowl.  When you reach 
the Middle Levels, you will give Lamrat’s letter to V’hul.

QUEST 3-1 COMPLETED: Reputation +25 (Total: 1155)

      Take Zenth to Fort Hold.  (Yeah! The wormhole section of the video 
is gone!)  When you land a cut scene discussion between you and Lamrat 
will start.  At the end of the scene, Levitt appears, but all he will 
tell you if you talk to him is that all the traders have returned to 
Ista.

      Next we should go to Harper Hall.  When you arrive there, you will 
see a cut scene of Lord Gralt entering the Harper Hall Kitchens.  Take 
that as a cue to follow him.  In the kitchen, a cut scene will start 
with Lord Gralt.  He tells you that the Master Healer is back in Healer 
Hall and wants to see you.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 1440)

      Talk to Salyn, who is also in the kitchen.  She will tell you that 
the Harper at Ista Island will not talk to you until you have proven 
yourself worthy.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 1460)

      Now run to Healer Hall and enter the new door.  Talk to Jazon 
inside.  He tells you that he is looking for the cure you gave Lamrat.  
Knowledge +15 (Total: 1475)

QUEST 3-2: Find the cure and give it to Jazon.

      Now we can go back to the Fort Hold Courtyard and hitch a ride on 
Zenth to Ista Island.  Landing at Ista Island ends this chapter.

At the end of Chapter 3, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 1475 level - CLEVER, Reputation: 1155 Level - OF GOOD 
STANDING, Strength: 1400 Level – FORMIDABLE

We made 3 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 7 jumps in 
the game so far.

***************************************************
**** CHAPTER 4 - Going to sleep on Ista Island ****
***************************************************

      Chapter 4 starts after the dragon jump cut scene and ends when you 
finally go to sleep on Ista Island.

      You will see N’eth and S’lon standing on the beach when you land.  
Talk to both of them to advance the plot a little.  You are supposed to 
find a place for the three of you to sleep.

QUEST 4-1: Find a place to sleep on Ista Island.

Walk to the ocean, between the two rocky projections.  You should 
see a bunch of shells zipping around.  If you shoot them, they will 
open.  When you collect them, you will get either a pearl or an edible 
oyster.  Keep shooting oysters until you get one with a pearl.  I’ve 
always gotten the pearl on the first oyster I shot here.  You can try to 
activate the dolphin nearby, but Zenth will tell you that you need to be 
a GENIUS to understand what the dolphin is saying.
      Sitting on the left rock wall is a man fishing.  Talk to the man, 
Hammit, and he will give you a map of Ista Hold.  Now walk of the rock 
wall and continue straight until you hit the side of the semi-circular 
building.  To your right should be a break in the rocks with a reddish 
herb.  When you pick it, you will find the Featherfern that Roma 
requested.  There are also three other unknown green herbs, so make sure 
you get the Featherfern.
      On the other side of the semi-circular building is a grave with 
some flowers on it.  When you pick of the flowers, you will get a cut 
scene with Kiristi.  She will tell you that her grandfather Gannell’s 
tomb has been worn away by the weather.  She asks you to get a new 
headstone and figure out what the inscription said.  Knowledge +25 
(Total: 1500), Reputation +25 (Total: 1175)

QUEST 4-2: Get a new headstone and the find inscription for Kiristi.

      You can walk up the ramp and enter the semi-circular building, but 
all that is in there are 10 bug catching darts and a medicinal brew.

      Now walk down the beach on the same side as Kiristi and the grave.  
You should see two men on the beach to the left of the main path.  You 
can talk to H’tem and K’larn, if you wish.

      It’s time to enter Ista Hold.  Go up the path to the right of the 
men on the beach.  Follow the path until the ground flattens out.  There 
should be a man to the right next to some stables.  Talk to the man, 
Drakk.  He tells you that the diseased cattle do not come from Ista.  
Knowledge +50 (Total: 1550)

QUEST 4-3: Find out where the diseased cattle come from.

      On the opposite side of the rode from Drakk are some cottages.  
Enter the first one from the road.  You will find Moria and Laria in the 
house.  Laria will tell you that Moria’s parents, Keriil and Hellion, 
have disappeared.  Reputation +20 (Total: 1195)

QUEST 4-4: Find Keriil and Hellion (You won’t be able to complete this 
Quest until Chapter 8.)

      Back outside, you may see a woman, Loretta walking around.  She 
will tell you that her husband Joseph went to investigate some noises 
from the other side of the mountain and never came back.

QUEST 4-5: Find Joseph.  (This may not be a real quest.)

      Follow the trail around the bend to the Dawn Sisters.  You will 
see Sam and Ralf outside.  Talk to Ralf and he will tell you that his 
brothers have gone missing.  Knowledge +50 (Total: 1600)

      Talk to Sam and he will tell you that dragon riders are not 
allowed into the Dawn Sisters.  Change into your civilian clothes and 
Sam will let you enter.  Talk to Gamut inside and buy the drink he 
offers.  He tells you that the herd shipments come to Ista Beach first 
thing in the morning. Knowledge +10 (Total: 1610) No one else in the bar 
has anything useful to tell you.

      Exit the Dawn Sisters and change back to your dragon rider 
costume.  Continue down the street and you will see a villager pushing 
at a door.  Talk to the villager and he will tell you that the door to 
his house is stuck.  Push the door open for him and he will let you take 
an item from his house.  You’ll find a medicinal brew on the bookshelf.

      Leaving the house, continue up the road to the Rising Star Inn.  
Watch the road though.  It can some times be a little tricky to follow 
the turn of the road just before the inn.  Talk to Foral on the roof of 
the inn.  He will tell you to enter, so take his advice.

      Enter the Rising Star Inn.  Inside, talk to Matrice, the owner.  
She will tell you to come back later and she’ll see what rooms are 
available.

	Go back outside again and continue walking up the road.  The first 
house you come across will have a villager sitting behind a box.  Talk 
to him and he will ask you a riddle.  The answer is “Between”.  Inside 
of his house, there are 10 darts.

	Go back on the road and continue until you reach the next upward 
curve.  Enter the house just before the curve and talk to Roem’s father.  
He will tell you his daughter if very sick and ask you to help her.

QUEST 4-6: Cure Roem. (Even though Zenth said the situation is urgent, 
you can’t help Roem until Chapter 5, so there’s no need for a trip to 
Healer Hall right now.)

	Exit the house and continue up the road.  Enter the last house 
before you reach the Harper Drumming Platform.  Inside, you should find 
Maria, Siral’s wife.  Talk to her and give her the pearl Siral gave you.

QUEST 2-25 COMPLETED: Maria becomes a Weyrwoman candidate. Knowledge +50 
(Total: 1660), Reputation +100 (Total: 1295)

	Return back to the Rising Star Inn and watch a cut scene with 
Matrice.  She will tell you that a man named Holin just left without 
paying his bill.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 1685)

QUEST 4-7: Find Holin and get him to pay his bill.

	Exit the Rising Star Inn and head back up the hill.  When you get 
to the alley between two houses, you’ll see a cut scene of Holin and two 
of his lackeys harassing a man.  Walk towards Holin and you will get 
another cut scene.  Select the “teach you some manners” option and 
you’ll start a fight.  I think you’re supposed to use your fist in the 
fight, but if you hit him with the sword, he’ll go down in one swing.  
After the fight, he will hand you some money and all four of the people 
will run off.
	Return with the money to Matrice in the Rising Star Inn.

QUEST 4-7 COMPLETED: Matrice gives you a free room to sleep in.  
Reputation +50 (Total: 1345)

	Exit the Inn and head down the hill.  You will find Sorian, the 
man who was getting beaten up, next to the Ista Supply house.  Talk to 
him and he will ask you to restore his reputation.  If you agree to help 
him, he will tell you that you need to get Holin’s dice and show them to 
Gamut in the Dawn Sisters.  Knowledge +10 (Total: 1695), Reputation +50 
(Total: 1375)

QUEST 4-8: Restore Sorian’s reputation by exposing Holin.

	Now run back up to the hill to where you answered the villager’s 
riddle.  Just past his house will be a pile of rocks and some barrels.  
Pick up the rock and move towards the barrels until you see the Sneak 
icon.  Enter sneak mode to see a cut scene of Holin and his friends.  
Knowledge +25 (Total: 1720)

	You might want to save now, because the next part is a little 
tricky.  (Or at least it was for me.  It took me a couple of times to 
get it right the first time.)  Anyway, standing where you are with the 
Sneak icon, ready the rock you picked up and use it.  You should see a 
cut scene of Holin telling his friends to investigate it.  After the cut 
scene, you have to sneak towards Holin.  Keep sneaking until you are 
right on top of him.  Only then can you use the grab icon to grab his 
dice off of him.  (Remember that you are outside, so the default 
movement action is to run.  You will need to hold down the run / walk 
toggle, the insert key on the PC, and simultaneously press the action 
key, the space bar on the PC, to enter stealth mode.)

	Once you have the dice, run down the hill and enter the Dawn 
Sisters.  You’ll have to be wearing your civilian clothes to enter the 
pub.  Talk to Gamut behind the counter to clear Sorian’s name and get 
some plot information.

QUEST 4-8 COMPLETED: You get Holin’s loaded dice.  Knowledge +10 (Total: 
1730), Reputation +50 (Total: 1425)
 
	It’s time to go to sleep and end this chapter.  Go back to your 
room in the Rising Star and select the bed to go to sleep (leaving the 
door wide open.)

At the end of Chapter 4, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 1730 level - CLEVER, Reputation: 1425 Level - OF GOOD 
STANDING, Strength: 1400 Level – FORMIDABLE

We made 0 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 7 jumps in

**** CHAPTER 5 - Getting into the hidden cove ****
**************************************************

      Chapter 5 starts when you wake up after your night on Ista Island 
and ends when you get in the Smuggler's Cove.

	You start this chapter in your room at the Rising Star Inn.  Go 
upstairs and talk to Matrice.  She will tell you that Belan, Nalaya’s 
old lover, is staying in the room next to yours.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 
1755)

Go down and enter his room to start an interesting cut scene.  
Knowledge +50 (Total: 1805, Knowledge increases level to Sharp)

Exit the Inn and go up to the Harper Drumming Platform.  Talk to 
N’eth and Terrol.  Give Terrol the Harper statue, when he asks for it.  
He will let you take anything from the Ista Supplies shop in exchange.  
Reputation +20 (Total: 1445)

Run down to the Supplies shop and pick up the citron fruit lying 
on the counter.  Search all of the bookshelves.  You should find a 
medicinal brew, 10 darts and a Sweatroot herb.  The Sweatroot herb will 
be listed as an unknown herb for the time being.

Leave the shop and talk to the Drudge standing in the house across 
the street.  He will thank you for getting rid of Holin and complain 
that he can’t open his door.  Reputation +15 (Total: 1460)
Push on the door to open it for the Drudge.  He will let you take 
anything you want in return.  You will find 10 darts on a table.

Now head down the street and enter the Ista Tapestries store.  
Talk to Hela inside.  She will ask to look at your tapestry (from 
Skarn).  Let her look at it and she will tell you that Nalaya’s family 
lives at the bottom of the hill.  She also tells you to come back later.

Take this cue to run down the hill.  You will see a wagon near 
Drakk and his animals.  There will also be two more men near Drakk.  
Approach the men to see a cut scene.  The two men are Faran and Manwor 
from the Gather.  They will head to the Dawn Sisters after the cut 
scene.

Run back to the road and keep running straight past the first 
house.  At the second house, you will see Doorin outside.  Talk to him 
and he will bring you inside to meet his wife Mantrel and his daughter 
Janifer.  (Mantrel is Nalaya’s sister, in case you were wondering.)  At 
the end of the conversation, Zenth will tell you that he thinks Janifer 
would make a good Weyrwoman.  Talk to Janifer and she will become a 
Weyrwoman candidate. (You ask her to be a Weyrwoman candidate even 
though you just swore to Doorin that you wouldn’t take his daughter.  
Your reputation even goes up for your lie to Doorin!)  Knowledge +50 
(Total: 1855), Reputation +100 (Total: 1560)

Now go back and enter the Rising Star. (Make sure you are wearing 
you civilian clothes before you try to enter.)  You’ll find Manwor and 
Faran at a table opposite the bar.  Talk to them and they will tell you 
that they have something from Lamrat that they are supposed to deliver 
to the Green dragon rider.  It does not matter how you answer them when 
they ask if you are the dragon rider they are to deliver the message to.  
Knowledge +50 (Total: 1905)

QUEST 5-1: Get the cure from Manwor.

Exit the Dawn Sisters and head up the hill.  You should run into 
N’eth coming down the hill.  Talk to him and he will agree to get the 
cure from Manwor and Faran.  You have to talk to him again in front of 
the Dawn Sisters before he will go in and get the cure.  N’eth will take 
a while to get the cure, so we can move on the other things.

Go back and talk to Hela in the Ista Tapestries shop.  Since we 
are OF GOOD STANDING, she will give us some heavy canvas.

Run back down to the beach and talk the Hammit, fishing on the 
rock wall.  He will ask you to push his fishing boat into the water.  
D’Kor is strong enough for the task, so go to the boat closest to the 
rock wall and give it a push.  (Strength +10)  Return to Hammit and he 
will give you a bottle of wine.  Reputation +20 (Total: 1580)

It seems that going to Ista Beach is the trigger needed for N’eth 
to get the cure.  Run back up to the Rising Star Inn.  You will find 
N’eth in front of the Inn.  Talk to him and he will give you the cure.

QUEST 5-1 COMPLETED: You have the cure, again.

	Head back down towards Ista Beach. Zenth should tell you that 
Salyn at Harper Hall wishes to speak with you.  Knowledge +10 (Total: 
1915) Go to Ista Beach.  Time to leave Ista Island.  Call Zenth and jump 
to Fort Hold for our eighth jump.

	It’s nighttime again when you land at Fort Hold.  Head over to 
Harper Hall and go downstairs to the kitchen.  You should find Salyn 
there.  Talk to her and she will tell you that Ista Island’s Harper is 
ready to meet with you, but you have to summon the Harper with a drum 
pattern.  She gives you the drum pattern and tells you to talk with the 
instrument maker to get a drum.

QUEST 5-2: Find a Harper drum.

	Leave the kitchen and go to the second floor of Harper Hall.  Run 
to the barracks and you will find Limoriad sleeping. Talk to him and he 
will tell you that the only drum he has needs a new skin.  Run back to 
the kitchen and talk with Kelli.  She will tell you that all of her drum 
skins will take a few days to cure.  Go back to the barracks and you 
should find a sleeping man across from Limoriad.  Wake him (his name is 
Yallen) and he will give you the skin.  Go back and talk to Limoriad.  
After some grumbling, he will give you a drum.

QUEST 5-2 COMPLETED: You have a working drum.

	Now go down to the Healer Hall and talk with Jazon.  Give him the 
cure.  He will teach you the Healing Skill.  Jazon will then run off.

QUEST 3-2 COMPLETED: Healing Skill Acquired.  Reputation +100 (Total: 
1680, Reputation increases level to DEPENDABLE)

	It’s time for our ninth jump back to Ista Island.  Run back to 
Fort Hold and take Zenth to Ista.   At Ista, run up the hill and enter 
Roem’s house. Talk to Roem’s father.  With your new Healing skill and 
the Sweatroot you picked up from Ista Supplies, you should be able to 
help Roem.  Roem’s Father tells you to come back later.  Knowledge +50 
(Total: 1965), Reputation +20 (Total: 1700)

	Exit the house and go to the Harper Drumming Platform at the top 
of the hill.  Use the drum when you are on the Platform, and Fin will 
appear.  He will tell you that the Harper will meet you on the beach in 
one hour.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 1990)

	Go back to Roem’s house and Roem will be healed.  Talk to her and 
she will become a Weyrwoman candidate.

QUEST 4-6 COMPLETED: Roem becomes a Weyrwoman candidate.  Knowledge +50 
(Total: 2040), Reputation +100 (Total: 1800)

	Now go back to the Rising Star Inn and check on Belan.  Foral will 
now be guarding the room.  Talk to him and he will tell you that Belan 
left fifteen minutes earlier with another dragon rider.  Knowledge +50 
(Total: 2090)
	Enter Belan’s room and search the trunk near his bed.  You will 
find a map to the Smuggler’s Cove and some heavy crossbow bolts.  Leave 
the Rising Star Inn. Outside of the Inn, you will find S’lon.  He will 
tell you that N’eth is missing.  You accuse him of being a traitor.  
Knowledge +25 (Total: 2115)

QUEST 5-3: Find N’eth

Head down the hill and towards the beach.  Save your game before 
you enter the canyon.  When you get to the end of the canyon, Holin and 
his thugs will ambush you.  After a brief cut scene, you with have to 
face both of the thugs before you can get Holin.  This fight can be a 
little challenging because you have to reset your fighting stance after 
killing each person.  When you reset your stance, you leave yourself 
vulnerable for a couple of seconds.  The camera angle for this fight 
also seems particular bad.  If you successfully attack Holin, you will 
get a cut scene and you can continue on your way to the beach.  (When I 
say reset your fighting stance, I mean you have to release select key, 
the space bar on the PC, and the press the select key again.)

On Ista Beach, if you run to the landing area, you will see a 
familiar character.  This is the Harper.  The Harper will show you a 
group of three men you should talk to.  The men are Jurinor, Fillian, 
and Jorak.  Talk to Jurinor first.  He will tell you that the cattle are 
not from Ista and that there is a strange ship called the Clear Endeavor 
sailing the seas.  He recommends that you find this ship.  Knowledge +50 
(Total: 2165) Jorak will tell you that there are some strange people 
around Ista recently, mostly up in the village.  Knowledge +10 (Total: 
2175)  Finally, Fillian won’t give you any information unless you know 
how to play dice.

To learn how to play dice, we need to talk with a gambling expert.  
The only expert we know is B’rak who’s back in Fort Hold.  Call Zenth 
for our tenth jump.  Talk to B’rak when you land.  He will tell you that 
to roll a high number, keep your palm up.  To roll a low number, keep 
your palm down.  Never win a 3 mark bet more than twice, never win a 2 
mark bet more than 3 times, and never win any bet more than 4 times.  He 
also lets you sell him items for marks.  I always sell the two plas film 
items from the Ancient Caves for 2 marks each.  Knowledge +25 (Total: 
2200)
There’s nothing else to do at Fort Hold, so we can call Zenth and 
take our eleventh trip back to Ista Hold.  Back on Ista, talk to Fillian 
again.  You will sit down to play a game of Blind Man Shards. You may 
want to save your game before you begin the game.  Use the knowledge you 
got from B’rak to beat Fillian.  NOTE:  Just because you set yourself up 
to roll a high number, doesn’t mean that you will win the three mark bet 
every time.  Also, just because you set the dice to roll a low number 
doesn’t mean that you will lose a one mark bet every time. 
After you win somewhere between 10 and 12 marks, Fillian will tell 
you that N’eth is probably in the deserted cove behind Ista Hold.  He 
says you will have to find the back entrance into the cove to sneak in 
undetected.  (If you are caught cheating, you will give Fillan his money 
back and he will refuse to talk to you.) Knowledge +50 (Total: 2250)
Talk to the Harper and you will tell the Harper want you learned.  
The Harper tells you that there are secret tunnels leading to the cove 
from the village, but the Harper doesn’t know where they are.  The 
Harper says that you should ask someone else farther up the hill about 
suspicious characters.  Knowledge +10 (Total: 2260)

QUEST 5-4: Find and enter the Smuggler’s Cove

We could go into the Smuggler’s Cove right now, but let’s take a 
little detour.  We have to visit the Mastersmith Hall two more times to 
get Kiristi’s tomb stone, so let’s make one of those visits now.  This 
will let us get a sword upgrade as well.  Call Zenth and take him for 
our twelfth trip to Mastersmith Hall.
Talk to Guy first.  He said he was a stone mason, so he should be 
able to make Kiristi’s Cairn stone.  The epitaph you need for Gannell is 
located in the Fort Weyr Library.  (I hope you read this scroll 
earlier.) He will ask you for 5 marks to do the job.  If you agree to 
his price, he will tell you to come back for the headstone later.  
Knowledge +25 (Total: 2285)
Now go and talk to the Miller near the broken windmill.  You will 
give him the heavy canvas that you hold.  Once you do, pull the lever to 
start the windmill.  A side panel of the windmill with opens to revel 
another fire-lizard egg.  I think this is the bronze fire-lizard.

QUEST 2-16 COMPLETED: Reward is the fire-lizard egg.

Go into the workshops and talk to Forn twice.  He should upgrade 
your knife and sword with the two artifacts you carry.  After this, we 
can call Zenth and go back to Ista Island.  This will be our lucky 
thirteenth jump.

On Ista Island, run up to the where Sorian’s house is shown on the 
map.  Right across the street from his house is another house.  If you 
knock on the door of that house, a man tells you to go away.  After he 
does this, Sorian opens the door to his house and motions you to come 
in.  He agrees to distract the men while you break into the house.  
After the cut scene with Sorian ends, you should probably do a quick 
save.  Then exit his house and Sorian will walk to the side of the 
target house.  Talk to him and then enter the dark opening where the 
boxes use to be.
Always sneak around while you inside this house.  If you get 
caught here, a man will beat you up and throw you outside.  Anyway, when 
you are inside, wait for Sorian to knock on the door.  When he does, 
sneak up behind the men at the door.  One of them has the key to the 
trap door.  Steal the key and use it on the trap door.  This will open 
the trap door and lead you to the Smuggler’s Cove and the end of this 
chapter.

QUEST 5-4 COMPLETED: Entered the Smuggler’s Cove

At the end of Chapter 5, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 2285 level - SHARP, Reputation: 1800 Level DEPENDABLE, 
Strength: 1410 Level – FORMIDABLE

the game so far.

sent back to Ierne Island.

	When you enter Smuggler’s Cove, you will get a long cut scene of 
D’Kor and Zenth talking.  Watch the cut scene because it will show you 
the location of all the smugglers and the layout of the cave.  The cut 
scene will tell you that N’eth is staked down on the sand and the tide 
is coming in.

QUEST 6-1: Rescue N’eth. (This Quest is on a timer, so you can’t take 
too long to rescue N’eth or he will die.)

	I’ll stop the walkthrough here, for now.  I’ll hopefully finish 
the walkthrough over the weekend.

**** THE LISTS ****
*******************

      The following lists tell you where the important items are in the 
game.  These are MAJOR SPOILERS, but use them if you are having trouble 
finding that last Trundle bug.

**** Attribute levels ****

      Below is the list of the four different attributes and how you can 
raise them.

Health - This is the only attribute that does not naturally increase as 
you proceed in the game.  You start the game with 10% health.  You can 
increase your health by eating healing herbs and healing potions.  You 
can decrease your health by eating poisonous herbs and by getting hit by 
an opponent.  If your health goes to 0%, D’Kor dies and the game ends.  
You can tell the difference between a healing and a poisonous herb once 
you get the Healing Skill.

The following is a list of the different attribute levels and the 
minimum point total needed for a particular level.  Once you get to 
level 8 of a skill, you will keep collecting attribute points, but they 
will not have any effect on the game itself.

**** Skill providers and locations ****

      To finish various quests, you will need to have different skills.  
You will get the skills from various characters in the game.  For most 
of the skills, you will need to have a certain item or finish a certain 
quest first.

1) Scribing skill - Kevan, on the bottom level of Fort Weyr - You will 
need to get a journal first.  You can get a journal by returning 
Lockenn’s journal to him.  Lockenn will give his journal and then Kevan

QUEST 1-5.

Jillan gives you the Trundle bug quest, he will give you the crossbow

you this skill.

Stealth skill in return for not reporting him to the local 
authorities.

Weyrwoman candidate.

Lear will upgrade your Sneak skill and give you Large Crossbow skill, 
if you can successfully approach him unseen.

**** Weyrwomen locations ****
      
      You are tasked with finding ten Weyrwoman candidates at the 
beginning of the game by V’Kai.  Almost every no married woman that you 
come across that looks like they are in their twenties or thirties will 
turn out to be a Weyrwoman candidate.  You will know that you have found 
a Weyrwoman when you receive the “Potential Weyrwoman found” message.

(COMPLETE QUEST 4-6)

Hall gives you a pearl to give to his wife Maria.  When you give her 
the pearl, she becomes a Weyrwoman candidate. (COMPLETE QUEST 2-25)

the prison, just before the room where you find Hellion, there is a 
trap door on the floor and a stone head next to it.  If you push the 
stone head onto the trap door, the door will open and Gladeril will 
be freed.
8) Mianna - In Harper Hall Library - Once you find the ornate key, 
Mianna will be a Weyrwoman candidate.  To find the ornate key, you 
will first have to have a HIGHLY REGARDED reputation and get the key 
from the Weyrleader’s private reading room off of the Fort Weyr 
Library.  Give this key to Lockenn, show him where the secret room in 
the library is, and collect the piece of paper when he opens the

**** Fire-lizard egg locations ****
      There are six different fire-lizards you can use on your journey.  
When you get a fire-lizard egg, take it back to your room and place it 
in the sand tray near the fireplace.  The egg will hatch immediately and 
the fire-lizard will take its spot on the perch near the fireplace.  You 
must have a Knowledge level of KNOWLEDGEABLE before you can hatch fire-
lizard eggs. (The crystal and gold lizard wills take its spot on the 
perch in your bathroom.)

if you give him both halves of the disc you find in the upper levels

final fire-lizard egg.
6) White fire-lizard - In the bottom level of the Ierne Temple.  You 
have to open the closed door by hitting the colored targets on the

sure what that level is.  I’ve always had at least a SHARP Knowledge 
level when I got to this point.

**** Trundle bug locations ****

      Jillan, located at the main gates of the Fort Weyr bowl, will tell 
you that his daughter Imogen is looking for six Trundle bugs before she 
will start doing her Hatching Ceremony duties.  Jillan will give you a 
crossbow, the crossbow skill and a few darts to catch the bugs.  See the 
section on fighting tips for more information about using the crossbow.  
You will also need a glass jar to hold the bugs, which you can get from 
Horlas in the Dining Area.  You can only hold one Trundle bug at a time, 
so you will have to return to Jillan after you catch each one.

1) Fort Weyr Stores - In the room to the right of the kitchen, where 
Kendrick is originally located, there’s a black Trundle bug.

of the prison.  This bug is in the same location where you confront 
Lamrat.
