~Star Trail : ROA 3

A few questions answered, obtained via Email.


1)  I have the cast iron key; I have the copper disk. The lead 
    character is carrying both of the items. I cannot get the chest 
    next to the hand open.  What is the deal?  (I have tried with 
    the lead character carrying key and disk in backpack and in the 
    hands.  Neither works.

You're not the only one!


2)  I take it that some tools are needed to open the sarcaphagous on 
    the first level.  What tools do I need?

Nope, just extreme strength. Take your two most powerful characters 
up front, remove their girdle of might, cast "increase ST" on them, 
put the girdles back on and... presto... get ready for a good fight!


3)  Anyone know what the lever in the NW part of the 1st level does?

I think it disables the crossbow trap at the southern corridor.


4)  Anyone know what the "golden glue" is good for? 

A poison. You can USE it during battle. Not a big deal.


5)  I can't seem to find the anti-queen spider potions.  Are they
    in a chest somewhere?  I think that I have all of them (except
    the one by the hand) open.

I think that there are in the chest at the North room of the dungeon
area where the cells are. There are other poisons there, too.


6)  Anyone ever fallen down the pits in the cell block area?  In the
    east part of the bottom level?

I did once (out of myriad times I crossed). You get considerable 
damage.


7)  Does anyone know what happens if you trip the alarm trip wire in
    the bottom level?

I suspect that you'll get a good fight.


8)  Has anyone experienced anything unpleasant from desecrating the 
    altars to the Orc gods?

No, just pure satisfaction.
