Much nicer to play now. Thanks :-)
I take it there's only 1 island with 1 company mage yet? (setting off to a new island is so slow, i never stayed long so far). If you're going to add another level/island... might be nice to be able to skip the moving of the mage from book to boat, and the sailing off? (or speed them up?).
Otherwise, it's a nice (little) game.
Oh, almost forgot: on my 2nd run through, i died after having found only 1 item, and the mage took back the book. Not sure if this was meant, as the mage says he/she needs 'items' (not 'item').
