From Elan:

> Potion of Barkskin

Potions of Barkskin are 300gp (2 * 3 * 50).

> Horn of Goodness/Evil

This is available, but the clerics seem to think you'd do better to make
Gridley (or Arator's support cleric) cast it.  It would last much longer,
for one thing.

> Enlarge

Recall that enlarge needs to be caster level 5.  It's 125gp for scrolls,
250gp for potions, 3750gp for wands, 1875gp for half-wands.

> centaur

Okay, but note that horses tend to have trouble in rocky areas (or on
stairs).  I guess Tidefell would have had problems anyway.

Clerics don't get See Invisibility.  (Nor do they get Invisibility, except
as a Trickery domain spell.)  Following this line of thought further
produces some interesting insights.

Yeah, you can pretty clearly see two bridges on the provided map of the
island.  One leads to Kher Keep, the other to Diamond City.  Thinking
about it afterwards, you could hardly have known there would be such a
huge ambush on the one bridge (but comparatively little on the other...)
Maybe my comment was a little harsh.  But, well, you survived.  That's
what's important, right?

Maps of Necropolis are very poor: they basically show the Onyx River
flowing past a mountain, and there's a great big (about 1000 feet) block
of stone next to it marked "Necropolis".  The only known living creatures
who've seen inside it since before the War were Sir Diamondblade and his
party; none of them returned, so very little is known about the interior.

The mountain probably would have been named Onyx Mountain, if the genius
who came up with all the Diamond names for everything else on the island
had been still around.  It has onyxes the way Diamond Mountain has
diamonds.

There's a nice big entrance in front of the block of stone, and there
could be underwater passageways leading in from the river as well.

That is a lot of wands of cure light wounds.  Just as a note, I do not
support the Nethack rule that you can break a wand to release all the
charges at once.

From Enajien:

> Are we going to try again and balance everyones magic items?

The sun blade is worth fifty thousand.  You will not be able to achieve a
good balance.  (Which is not to say that you shouldn't try.)
