Hi Zack.
Ironically as I just said, a mysterious lady showed up and gave me the
amulet, which helps.
The issue with item handling is that you fundimentally can't keep hold of
most of the items which are necessary, ie, those which have perminant
effects such as armour or your navaid, long enough to hold enough food and a
canteen to drink out of.
As I said, I think there should've been a napsack or belt pouch option,
which held just enough food and your canteen so that you don't have to keep
switching things around which is a right royal pain especially in the middle
of the desert while dying of heat exhaustion.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
Perhaps this is just me, but I haven't ever noticed much of the item
handling difficulties you describe. I keep all my ralls and food and such
in a sack, and only take out what I need at the time. Granted, I haven't
progressed quite as far as you have, it seems, but still, I don't have
much trouble.
As for the silver amulet, I can help with this.

You can get the silver amulet by being especially cheritable towards
peasants. At least, I've gotten it this way: there may be a place in the
dungeons or elsewhere to get it too.
Best,
Zack.

Hi.
I do actually have a backpack (it was one of the ways I initially made
cash while hunting, but I stil seem to have to drop everything to take
food or my canteen out of my pack.
It's just the amount of typing and turns lost that is plain
annoying, ---- as I said, it killed me in the desert.
I'll try forod cave again, ---- Though imho it's verry irritating (not to
say illogical), that you can't get out by moving in one direction and
back, but i hope it doesn't take too long getting out sinse I'm not sure
if I can carry the ikon and enough supplies, ----- again, something which
would be nicely fixed by automatically being able to cary 8 lb food and
one canteen.
It's a real shame the source is lost, sinse this really does spoil the
game imho.
A silver amulet hint would I think help, ----- though it's probably in
one of the places I just haven't been to yet such as ishon (where I'm
heading now).
One thing I do like about eamon is it's really short commands and
abbreviations, ----- which even existed in the early 80's versions, ----
for instance just pressing enter to repeat the current turn, typing a gob
to attack a goblin or eat food etc. Something of this sort in
fallthrough, ---- or the ability to write macros would really improve
the game. But again, sadly lost source code, even if the game could be
altered.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
