Well, I knew that waiting until F(13) to DC to Thief would have its draw backs...

Got diseased in DE3, TWICE.

I didn't want to leave the traps at the end of DE3 to ambush my bleeding party on the way back from an encounter on DE4, so I had the whole team walk in a staggered line as a living minesweeper. Took very heavy damage and then went to DE2 to heal. Thought I had got them all, but got nailed by a trap going through the door into DE4. Took 4 heals to repair that.

So, I forget: Where do I start missing out on treasure/opportunities because I have no Thief to find doors to hidden rooms, etc?

I remember that you guys told me about a +2 Returning Axe, and (unbelievably) I remember where. Do I need a "Find Traps" type skill or spell to get to it?

What's a party,
without a song?
Bards ROCK!
Party On!!
