Okay, so I've been carrying around a passport, two books of matches, and a sprocket with "..goth" on it forever. Will I ever need these things? Also, I just won a mysertious gem from the halfling wizards in their little riddle game. What does it do? Or, rather, what should I do with it? Thanks, guys!
If you want a little history lesson from the "Master of Vendigroth" (that is me), the "...groth" was once Vendigroth. Beats me how it ended up in the mine. (Dont mean to brag or be annoying.) As for the questions, The passport is useless as far as I know. Maybe it will prove something later on? The sprocket can be used to repair Shrouded Hills' steam engine if you join Joungle Dunne and blow it up for him. Give it to the mayor. BTW, it wont work if the dwarf technologist by the engine sees you (So, you have to kill him before you blow it up or he will spill the beans). I also dont know what the matches are for. I didnt know about any halflings. Where is that?
The "mysterious gem" you win in the Halfling game (in Black Root, nbrosz) will summon a level 50 halfling wizard who will help whoop ass for you. But you can only use it once, so don't waste it...
Hallfing wizards, as said before, are in Black Root. There are three total. The first one is to the east of town, the second is west of the thieves' camp, and the third is north of the second. They each ask a riddle -- all of which are easy especially since you get multiple choice answers.
As someone said, the "...groth" gear is for the Shrouded Hills steam engine after you break it (if you want to do Jongle Dunne's second quest, do that first - he wont talk to you). The gem, yep. ***MINOR SPOILER*** At the Roseborough Inn, you can discuss the matchbook and passport with the Innkeeper. She tells you something about Stennar Rock Cutter coming in a while back. The passport is fake, for Stennar to get on the IFS Zephyr. It's made by Mr. Razzia, in Caladon. I haven't checked him out, though.
*Semi-Spoiler* yeah, its a kinda big quest thing, also the other passport is so you can eventually find out who leaked the info for the curse of t'sen ang thing. -Steve
....And then you go to the void, talk to the BMC, kill Kerghan, use the BMC's Stargate to return to Arcanum, and BAM! You have beaten the game..... I shouldnt have told you that. :-?
heh, I can see it noe nbroz, they will lead us away, to a small, window-less room, and.....spank us with old swiss cheese oh baby! -Steve
