Diadem of Maunstraut

[Hguols]

MIDI has actually come a long way in the past few years. I think towards the end of Windows 98, MIDI started using WAVtables. Meaning, for the midi sound, they actually record a bit of actual instrument via WAV - light years beyond the bloops and bleeps of convential MIDI.

Actually, the WAVTABLE set that comes with XP is quite a bit better than the set that came with Windows 98. You could probably tell a difference between the Maunstraut music (98 wavtable) and the newer clips I donated to Todd (XP wavtable)

I think one of the coolest things is you could spend $700 on an electronic drum set and not get as good a sound as the XP wavtable drums.... which just come with XP.

For the little girl to give you the healing bracelet, its a little on the ironic side. The same thing that sends her to safety is the same thing that sends you to safety.

As for the magic symbols in the Wind lair, they're a bit tricky - but they have absolutely NOTHING to do with Eidolon's $5,000 deactivating trap offer. If they're the horizontal moving ones, and you walked around the level, walk out to the furthest symbol and it will reappear.

If its the vertical moving ones, there are two sides - one way leads to a dead end with the pit below the only way out. The other side (close to the corridor exit) leads to a small room which activates other symbols. From this room you can....

1) Go left (across symbols) to unlock a gate which will lead to the floor up....

2) Go right (across symbols) to enter the area with the elemental symbol needed to open the final doors.

If you raised the symbols on the corridor's side, fell and lived (for some reason) without unlocking the gate, you might have stucktified yourself.
>_<

Sorry.... If that's the case (I hope it's not) there are saved games on the site you can use so you wouldn't have to start over-over.
