I am a bit confused about primary weapons chosen on the introductory turn.
According to the post card (sign up now!) if I didn't get a weapon, the
'natural' weapon skill would be given to the character.  Where on my results
sheet does it indicate the weapon skill?

I would have wanted to buy Long swords for my fighters, but it wasn't listed
as an option.  Now that I've recieved my first results, I find that Long
swords are available in the town.  If I buy them, will I have the skill?
In my first orders, only my thief is equiped with a dagger now.

To Tony:

In the Quest.faq.long apparently all the mage spells are listed, but not
the spell components.  Did I miss something?  For instance, how would my
mage cast slow poison (61)?  That takes Crushednuts and Yellowliver, right?
so my order would be C 5 61 5 to slow poison on the mage casting it.

I hope they start the E-mail only game soon.

Dave
