Hi Bryan, Yeah, that is pretty much what I've discovered myself. My first few games I didn't find any scrolls, and the couple I did find couldn't be identified in the shop or with an identify scroll. So I had no idea if they were useful or not. However, in my current game I'm loaded with useful scrolls. I found a pack of five identify scrolls on the first floor which I used on several unidentified scrolls which turned out to be a curse scroll, a level 4 shrink scroll, a regeneration scroll, and I got a level 1 fire bolt scroll from the shop. So this time I've certainly found a lot more then the previous games. It appears to be a completely random hit or miss thing like you said. Plus as for the Drake blocking the stairs that was the case in my first game I found him. I explored the entire level, and the only place left to go was down, but the Drake was sitting right there on the steps leading down. So basically in a case like that I was screwed. Couldn't beat him, couldn't continue, and just passing him up wasn't an option. However, in this new game I'm doing much better. Except for the bug that won't allow me to pick anything up. I've had to leave behind quite a bit of weapons and armour because the game won't let me take it. It acts like it isn't there. So I'm pretty frustrated with that mishap. That's never happened before. Otherwise I'm really holding my own against enemies. I just easily faught my way through the Goblin King and his gang of chronies. Now, if I could just get his weapons and armour I'm more than willing to give the Drake another try.
