Greetings gamer folk! Well, I think I might have just shot my party in the feet with rusty crossbow bolts. How did I do this? I killed Farinth. But for some reason the Orb of Golden Death was NOT in there. Granted, I haven't finished a lot of the quests. I just hit the burned farmhouse entrance, went to level 3, whacked Smigimal and Farinth to get them out of the way, and now...no orb. I have done a few things- I wiped out practically everything either alive or undead on level 1, including the Earth temple High Priest. This is about all I've done in the Temple though. I don't know if my plan to go on slaughtering everything that moves will be effective in setting up a proper endgame, but this has been my approach (or lack thereof) so far. So, back to my original question: What have I done wrong? HEEEELP!
Actually, NO! There appeared to be only 1, in the small room off to the right. I'll go back down there and check again. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!
Spoiler!... There's a secret door at the back of the room. For this and similar problems, and generally for useful maps, I find the walkthrough section for ToEE over at gamebanshee.com quite handy. You may wanna check it out.
