SPOILERS******************************
Played through it a few times now and tried various ways now,
and I can't find any real bonus in not giving up and get captured,ok some potions and rope but you justrisk your arm for it.
Anyone have something really valuable they get that way?
or is potions that importent? Maybe alether but...

The potions are incredibly useful. As long as you make good decisions, you shouldn't have much trouble curing limbdeath if you get it, and I just can't justify 'just giving up' and forsaking the whole 'adventure' part of the first half of the book.

Oede is extremely valuable. I believe you might even have the chance of catching limbdeath in another book too.
NS, wondering how Oede is pronounced.

Just me that rarely uses potions then? I have always used healing as skill and rarely do I loose so much in a fight that I havet got most of it back to next fight.
Alether is the only one I regularly use now and then.
Atleast in the kai books,magnakai uses more though.

NS, wondering how Oede is pronounced. As I've said before, many months ago on these boards, I think 'oede' is one of Joe's little jokes, since the spelling suggests it could be pronounced 'weed'.  |

Yes, that's what I was referring to I would pronounce it Oh-eede, simply because it looks like that. NS. |

Though of course, it could simply be "Eede", like in "oesophagus".
NS, who knows that Statesians will now disagree with my spelling!

I'd always mentally pronounced it OHd (long o sound).

Being Welsh, this word has always messed me up. The Welsh word 'oed' means 'age' in English, and is pronounced as 'oid'(as in 'droid').
So I've always pronounced it oid-ee.

I didn't know that and I did Welsh for a bit Then again, while I have fairly good linguistic skills, my pronounciation skills are almost non-existent (which also explains why I still don't have a Gloucestershire accent 16 years after moving here!). NS. |

Well "da" is (day), as in "bore da" (good day). What does Iechyd mean?

Actually, NS, I think 'da' means 'good'!  'Iechyd' I think means 'health'. Literally: Health good [to you], or 'Good health.' Apparently it's both a traditional greeting, and the equivalent of 'cheers!' or 'kampai!' when drinking. (Thus the song Iechyd da by the delightfully strange band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, which they describe as a 'drinking song'.) Of course, I could be talking complete drivel. ;D |
