Thanks for the help Allan. I had tried a while back to go down into that other mine on the other side of the mountains and I got my butt kicked down there by some nasty creatures. But it's been a while and I've bulked up my experience & HP since then so I ought to try again.

I'll look out for that secret passage. I'm glad you mentioned it, I never would have thought to look for one and I doubt I would have noticed it.

I did notice there was only one save game. I have been making a habit all along of saving the game BEFORE going down into the mines. I always assumed I couldn't save the game while down there, I didn't know you could.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for the Sorcerer's Eye (sorry, couldn't resist the pun). I haven't found it yet.

Thanks again for the help,
