I was doing fine until a group of Royal Escorts paralysed Phaser, my only character who knows to heal others. The fight then ended with my whole party being paralysed. I cured Phaser at Teralt and had him cast HEALTH.

> I know how you feel. Right now, Lady Abelha of Spelling barely has enough SP (2216) to make it from Kaliti to Death's Door. She's on level 139, and she's only gotten three looks at Death. Once she got there with very few SP, and twice she probably had enough to beat him. She was paralyzed all three times. Nothing is worse than running out of SP. It'll be a while before she can face Murkon too.

> Don't worry aboot the other 4 pools. You can't really miss them.

I took another trip down to Murkon's lair. This time I found 2 pools. 2 are still missing. Where the heck could they be? I don't see any possible candidate places on my map.

My party levelled up once more, now Missile Master is level 76 and Blast Master is level 52. Still I did not reach Murkon himself. Those bloody Royal Escorts suck up all my SP by being so hard to defeat.
