Got a question? Check the Frequently Asked Questions section
first (it's after the walkthrough) to see if your question is
already answered.
If you see any mistakes, or have anything that you want to add
please email me! I will, of course, give you full credit for
your addition, and be eternally grateful to you. Email addresses
are not posted in the FAQ, unless you specifically state that
you want it to be.
Finally if you are on AOL and want a response from me, make sure
that your email is accepting from Hotmail (webmail). I have gotten
way too many emails returned from AOL with a message that the
person wasn't accepting from Hotmail.

the start dungeon. They get all of the items and a representative amount
of XP and gold for the trouble.
