    I think the Water Temple and Fire Temple heads should skip their quests to recruit Oohlgrist if you hire him instead. Maybe the player should be able to choose a quest failed dialogue option. Something akin to the priests saying, "oh, we want him to work for us, but he's working for you now, and you're working for us. Hmm, okay nevermind, onto this next task."

    Who is Brunk? Is he vanilla, or is he an unfinished quest that Co8 has added? He's the half-orc among the brigands just north of Kelno and the Temple of Air. I sneak up and chat with him, and he wants me to kill Feldrin, but doesn't give a quest for it. Not to mention, the brigands (Brunk included) all go aggro if they ever spot you. Where's Feldrin?

    I think there should be an Oohlgrist/Littlest Troll dialogue/quest somewhere. It feels like the two were meant to be linked in some way (both on the same floor, opposite sides of the map). I dunno if the troll is in the 3.0 PnP rendition, but The Littlest Troll is where a Su-Monster laird in the original module. I don't have a copy of the 3.0 version on hand to check.

    To the best of my knowledge everything is based of the original 1st edition Temple of Elemental evil, with the changes to switch to 3.5 rules. I am not aware of any of it being based on the 3rd edition "return to the Temple" module.
    There are a lot of minor discrepencies between the computer ToEE and the original PnP paper module....reasons could be anything from maybe there was no Su-monster in the first 3rd edition monster manual to go with, to maybe that just couldn't fit anthor monster template into the game, to maybe one of the Trokia Design staff had a inside little troll joke he wanted in there.
    Or none of these thats all just speculation on my part..but overall they did a pretty dang good job even with its original bugs of switching a 1st edition rules classic module to 3.5 and keeping it pretty "Cannon" with the original.

    Brunk is vanilla, although like with much of the game he is not very well-fleshed out. Feldrin is in amongst the brigands. IIRC there's not much to really do with them ... if you agree to the job and leave, when you come back you may find that one or another of them was killed off-screen or something like that. I'm sure players mainly just kill them all.
