What do I do with the inventory objects I start with?
  • 1 of 4: Be sure to equip all the weapons and armor items each character is given to start with.
  • 2 of 4: Also double-click on any spell books your mages have so they can learn their starting spells.
  • 3 of 4: You can double-click on the informational scrolls you're given (and can pick up in other areas) to read them.
  • 4 of 4: Also, check through your inventories to make sure at least one character started out with a useless though sellable item, like an iron ring or bronze amulet. If you don't have any of those items, you may want to restart and try again.
