I hate to admit this, but I have been stuck on the riddle in the Goblin's castle in DragonBane 2 for more than a week now. I guess I am no good at riddles. So can someone please tell me: What has eyes but cannot see, feet but cannot run, and can fall down but cannot get up.
Try "DEMELZA"

I am just starting Demzela and haven't even left town. I was in the
SW section and got called over to be told about the tavern I should
visit. When I went to the tavern the barkeep asked for a password.
I tried revenge. I went back to try to get the whispered
instructions again but now he is gone. I clearly forgot something in
what he said (like what word to enter).

I had figured this out, as had taken you figurative and not literally. Thank you very much.
I now have another problem, it seems that behind the gateway is space that I can not get to, I feel that this would get me to the outer area. What am I missing or not seeing?
Best regards,

Hello again Mike.
Sorry to take so long to reply.
Firstly, at 17,15 in the lair of pits - put your back into it means exactly that. You can only walk through the wall with a scratch by walking through it backwards!
The reason you found this wall is because you correctly activated the force field with the button you mention.
Basically, walk everywhere you can on this map and don't try to use save games as short cuts. Only use them to progress further.
Good luck and I am sorry about the delayed responses but I am working on another project... Simon.

I don't think Caleb every learns spells, although he does have spell points. Some characters don't.

I am at the battle against Kra'an and my Level 15 Caleb does not seem
to able to cast the near foe spell leaving me out of reach of Kra'an.
Does Caleb require a higher level or more inteligence (he has a

Anybody or Simon,
Have fallen through hole in floor to little room, it only has a two
sided gateway and next to gateway are two scraches on the wall, the
is suppost to give way but I can not budge it(17,15). Can some one
please help as there is no way out!
When I go through the gateway and end up in an elongated room. I land
on this square (8,25), however, I for the life of me can not figure
what that square does, if any thing. I have found the switch on the
north wall but it only opens the gatway at the far end, that only
puts me back inot the other room. Talk about circle games!
Please respond soon as I have been here for four weeks. I did go back
in saved games to make Level 13, but to no avail.

What's happening these days to this forum? Isn't there anything like an antispam device available at Yahoo? I guess most people here are interested in Kraan/Demelza, not this junk!

I recently finished ROK and thought it was a very good game, even
though it took so many (enjoyable) hours that the rest of my life
went down the tubes. It was so much fun, in fact, that my willpower
broke down and I tried the Demelza demo. After two days of play, I
decided today to buy it. That was a mistake.
No doubt you can discount the opinion of someone who only spent
three days playing the game. Obviously, I might have missed many of
the intricacies. But I feel compelled to say that Demelza has too
many flaws to make it worthwhile.
Yes, there are some good things about the game. Read the promo.
It's a big game, it has multiple solutions, it's different from ROK!
If you are totally hooked on DB2, go for it. What choice do you have?
Here are the things I don't like about it. Whereas ROK was a
tightly-constructed game, by which I mean the author seemed to have
thought of everything and paid attention to details, Demelza is good
in the big picture but lacking in fine points. For example, many of
the early (and that's all I had) battles with monsters are
completely predictable. Also, although the maps are interesting, it
is too hard to get around - there are trees everywhere getting in
your way for no good purpose. And, in spite of the new maps (which
are interesting, I admit) and optional solutions (going up or going
down), there isn't (in the first couple of days) anything really
revolutionary.
In spite of all that, I bought Demelza today after two days of
trying it out. It does have appeal. But what really fried me was a
puzzle I just did not like. ** NOTE: POSSIBLE SPOILER HERE. ** And
that was the closing of the inns. I'd been battling on, no hints,
when three of my crew were made insane. I didn't have any way to get
them Prozac or whatever, so the obvious choice was to get someone
who could cast a spell and cure them. No way. Okay, I admit, this is
probably an excellent part of the game, a clever puzzle with an
amazing solution. It wouldn't surprise me at all, because the game
has a good design. But I didn't like it, especially since I am still
aching from spending so many hours on ROK. I spent about 4 DB days
banging on the doors of inns, but they just stayed closed (which, in
a reality kind of way, doesn't make any sense). Anyway, it was so
frustrating that I decided to give up, and I deleted Demelza, ROK
(what was left of the Easter Egg level), and DB itself from my PDA.
Time to move on.
As I said, I bought Demelza today and I'm not going to play it,
ever. I think it is fair, reasonable, and legal to give it away. I
hate to see my money simply lost. So I will give my copy of the
registered version to the first (and only the first!) person who
writes to me at FreeDemelza@.... I hope you have better
success (and more patience) than I did.
Hmm, this bugged me, so I chased it down a little bit. I've never
heard or seen "beckon call" anywhere, but that doesn't mean it's
wrong. According to "Take Our Word For It" - the word origin webzine
at http://www.takeourword.com/TOW186/page4.html
From Luke McElligott:
I abhor the use of beck and call when it should be written beckon
call, as in the call was beckoning.... Please help me to put this to
rights.
TOWFI's response:
Oops, Luke, actually, the phrase is beck and call and always has
been. Beck is the same word as beckon, though, so you're on the
right track. To be at one's beck and call is to respond when he
beckons you and/or calls you. It dates from the mid-19th century.
