Where do I go when I'm through talking to him?
  • 1 of 7: Why not walk around the museum and explore?
  • 2 of 7: There are items on three tables in the room you first start in.
  • 3 of 7: Pick all the items up and check your inventories to see what you got.
  • 4 of 7: Several of them are spell scrolls that you can save and use in combat, and the others (including two scrolls the old man gave you) are tutorial-type scrolls that you can double-click on for info about the game.
  • 5 of 7: Be sure and look through them, even though most of what they say is also in the player manual.
  • 6 of 7: Also, you could go into the two side rooms in the museum and look at the displays (and use the buttons on the two big animated display boxes), but that's not at all necessary.
  • 7 of 7: Head on outside and explore around. Remember that to leave Ravensford and move on to the next part of the game, you need to head north and approach the ship at the docks.
