- This is not an automatically generated compilation, so if all
  contributions could be sent to me in a seperate e-mail with paragraphs
  initialled, I would appreciate it a lot.
- Please do not use this list for your own purposes; people do not
  appreciate thousands of pieces of mail arriving a day!
- If you ever want taking off the list, just say, and I will be happy to
  do so.  I don't want telling off for any nuisance mail!
- All material here is the exclusive property of the author and may not

- For answers to specific Quest-related questions, you may want to get in
  touch with the Quest Helpline; queries sent to quest-help@kokodan.vivi.com
  will be sent to a panel of experienced Quest players, who will endeavour
  to answer your problems quickly. Thanks to Bruce Cota for his help.

JPG> Hello folks;  to those of you reading this via email, you may notice
that the names are now missing from the top.  This is by request, so let
me know what you think.  I know some people have said that they like
seeing who is on the list and getting their email addresses, but I
understand that it does leave several pages to go through before you get
to the actual digest itself.

JPG> Perhaps I ought to call this first bit the 'editorial'... make it sound
posh...  Anyway, not much in the digest today.  Got bored, thought I'd
send one out anyway. :)

JN> I was just wondering about those toughened monsters out there - are
they implemented in ALL Quest games by now and are they equally tough?

JN> The reason for asking is that I have two very similar groups (10
characters, ~110 turns) in games 6 and 9, and the group in #6 ran into 11
goblins the other turn. It was a hard fight but I won, killing all the
goblins and having 6 wounded myself.

JN> With this in mind, my group in #9 attacked 10 goblins last turn. I was
expecting a good fight, but to my surprise the goblins ran away as soon as
one of them was killed! Of course I followed up and attacked again (and
again), but they kept running. I could only kill six of them :-(

AH> Does anyone know what 'bugs' KJC removed rescently? Minor healing was
mentioned but what about the casting Strength to increase a new recruits
weapons skill? If it hasnt been removed then with the new toughness limit
cant new groups recruit fighters with ACE (99) weapon skills?

SA> I only wanted to tell everybody that I have started to put some
Queststuff into my homepage, and I will include almost everything
on the Quest subject you send me. So all of you who have articles
laying around or any other stuff, mail it to me! I would also like
to know if you have a homepage yourself. It doesn't matter if you
haven't any Queststuff included, it's the person behind the group/
alliance/boasting that is interesting, so if you are not included
in the Questplayer-list on my homepage, and want to be, tell me!
The location of the page is included in the sig below, and if it
doesn't work well, try this address:

Keep on Questing and may the eight gods smile upon you!

JPG> Cunning plan to make me include your sig, Stefan.  Sorry that this
didn't get in the last one by the way.

JPG> Okay, that's it until the next time I have enough messages and
enough time.  If you have any comments, especially regarding the
toughness of the monsters (I want to know about that too!), please feel
more than free to drop me a line, even if you're reading this on
rec.games.pbm; the more the merrier...

Happy Questing....
