Re: ZORK!
Yeah, that's always the fun part, waiting, waiting, waiting, oh! AP! Sally forth!
Oh, also, it seems like different hunting areas (that is, once you can access them) seem to have a higher chance of running into mazes/puzzles, which means you either need to suck it up when you fail, learn those skills, or stick with an area which doesn't have so many. That's why I've stuck to Frostham's fjord for so long.
