In fact, you don't even have to know about a quest to embark upon it. For example, you heard about the diamond eggs from several sources, but not the djinn quest, until you had the option of joining it.<br /><br />I don't think it's Schroedingery to have different vessels sailing to the same intermediate destination by slightly different routes (due to having different helmsmen) at slightly different times to have different encounters.<br /><br />I must admit that it never occurred to me to refuse the gryphon, but with your choice of skills you wouldn't have gained as much from helping as I did every time I went that way. Twist of Fate is definitely worth a replay, just because there are such a variety of viable routes through to the endgame.Gloccusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555259076163799234.post-45407447973164755742017-07-04T05:39:34.448-07:002017-07-04T05:39:34.448-07:00In view of your June fundraiser, I didn't thin...In view of your June fundraiser, I didn't think it appropriate to mention my blog at your site.<br /><br />Questions noted and simmering away at the back of my mind for the anniversary post.Ed Jolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293815550517824166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555259076163799234.post-77648617009135272722017-07-03T23:14:50.914-07:002017-07-03T23:14:50.914-07:00Sorry - I didn't know you'd started updati...Sorry - I didn't know you'd started updating again.<br /><br />Questions : <br /><br />1.
