Thanks, Raffles, but much of that is what I know already ( though still there were some helpful tips, thx )
But I've decided to ask that question after I've read the following:

Saving people eh? Well, you could always wish upon a star

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(einherjar @ Dec 2 2004, 08:16 PM) [snapback]32855[/snapback]</div>

Or a ring, wand, or pool.

Nah, Stars are more traditional

I thought that there's some extraordinary way to get wishes when the sky is full of stars, or something like that...

And also I've got one more question if I may

Is there any way to resurrect that little girl's cute dog???
Or the only way is wishing for it???

Or maybe I can find an alive cute dog somewhere else?

Ah, sorry, but I didn't realise you were referring to an old post. Anyway, there's no way to "wish upon a star" in ADOM, so whoever suggested that probably didn't mean it literally. The only ways of getting a wish are the ones I listed.

No, but if you manage to get to the bottom of the puppy cave quickly enough (i.e. within a couple of days), it will still be alive and follow you out of the dungeon and to Terinyo - unless it gets killed on the way up, which sadly happens far too often... You don't actually have to save it, though, and it can be quite dangerous to dive down the dungeon quickly with a low-level character, so for the time being, it'll probably be easier for you to skip that bit and try again when you know the game a bit better.

If you're brave, you can try skim-reading the discussion thread on AR for information on the puppy quest. There should be quite a lot of info on it. Be warned, though: that thread is LONG...

Uhmm, that sounds quite difficult...

You're right, deeping down the puppy cave with a low-level char is extremely dangerous, plus even if I rescue the puppy, it'd be quite difficult to take it through that level 5 full of LOTS of monsters. But maybe I could try to do it with my wizard, who is quite good as for a newborn character

And now I realize why it is always dead - when I start the game, I always find and kill Kranach, then I complete that Keethrax quest, then I kill Hotzenplotz, and only THEN I go into the puppy cave... :wallbash:

That's my worst neagtive feature - although I know that ALL of those quests aren't necessary to complete, I just can't go on without completing 'em!!!

Thanks for the advice.

Hello again

It's been a great weekend (though it's Wednesday now, I didn't have an opportunity to write this post sooner)!!!

After weeks of not playing ADoM, I finally managed to get some spare hours and guess what? I sacrificed them to the great God whose name should be pronounced with fear and respect, since it reads "Ancient Domains of Mystery"!!!

I played the game all weekend long, and it's been a great pleasure.

First of all, I must say that rescuing that damn puppy isn't such a big deal as I thought when I was typing my previous post. The trick is just to get quite lucky so that on level 5 both stairways are situated quite close to each other.
Plus to that, that cute puppy must be lucky enough to be placed not far from the stairway or in a room without monsters, because since you descend to that level, the level begins to live, and the puppy can get killed if you don't manage to get to him quite fast! But that's not so hard, and it didn't take a long time for me to complete this quest.
Also, I think that druid suits this quest just perfectly (I don't say that others will fail, just that druid suits best). Take, for example, those giant ants on level 2 - if they are placed in such a way that they block the stairway to level 3, you often wouldn't stand a chance against them, cuz it's just the beginning and your char is quite low! And druid doesn't get attacked by those ants (as well as by other animals, insects, and other creatures of nature) Though, once I managed to kill ALL the ants with a level 1 human wizard ( guess how!!! )

Second, at last I managed to complete the carpenter quest in that another (more delicate) way "which reduces prices in the shop"!!! Damn, the trick is so simple, and I couldn't figure it out for a whole month
And the way I figured out that trick is just ridiculous

Yeah, but it will give you nothing. Of course, the quest will be completed, but you won't be the one who "brought back joy into the life of a tiny girl", and that is the goal, not just going to the bottom of the dungeon and back (you can use infinite dungeon for this purpose, for example)!!!

Actually, it does bring a lawfull alignment boost and may bring you one charisma point if you talk to the girl afterward and play with her a little while.

You get the boost when you give her the corpse, and the charisma point when you talk to her AFTER you give her the corpse.

Guess what - I've understood what did he mean, I just didn't figure out is he talking about giving away the corpse, or about successful completing the quest.

I mean, when I first read the post, for me it sounded like "the only thing this quest gives is just a boost and a charisma point, so it isn't necessary to complete it at all". That's why I asked.
