ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I have this same bug as well. I finally had a bitchin archmage, but i had no where to go because I had the glitchy staff of absorbtion after the ambush.

I found a workaround for this problem! I'm not a programmer in the slightest, so its really simple. Backup all the level files in your save, like wilderness.teaz and all the other ones, but not your character files. Then delete them, start your game with a new map, find the mark of the spell blaze, ...

I hate the disappearing areas... I went the better part of two months imagining that the game ended as soon as I beat dreadfall, the starting dungeons, and the into the darkness quest because of it when I just started.

This happened to me last night too. I was doing really well, but there were no bosses after the bone dragon... Just error reports like you said.

I got the round 70 before i said screw it.
