ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I just entered the maze and then Kor'pul and in both locations, when not in the rooms of K'P, I am in the dark. I am a cl 7 Higher Slinger wearing a Brass Lantern.

Does anyone have any ideas? I had no similar problem in the 'Shaws.

Thank you and happy New Year

This is an intended effect. In underground dungeons you can only see to the range of your light source, until in a prelit area (such as rooms).

You can find lights, usually lanterns, in Trollmire and possibly stores (cannot remember which one would carry it, though). Equip them and you are good to go, albeit with a short radius of light.

Hmm! The only thing that is being lit is the square that I am on - the lantern I am carrying has a 2 square range. but only the one I am on lights up.

Have never had this problem before even though I have been playing this game since the very early Betas. Beta 17 worked OK

Maybe I will buy another lantern and see what happens

Thanks for your responses

Hum weird
Can you send me the savefile please ?

I see the problem- my savefile contains this

g) Mummified Egg-sac of Ungol?«
Type: misc / egg
When carried:
Light radius -2

This little gem cancels out the Lantern's light. Since I can not find a stronger lantern and since I do not know how to find my house (am I lost?? ), guess I will have to drop or sell it

Thanks for your help

Ah, that explains it. You can drop the egg after entering every level and then pick it back up after clearing it. Not ideal, but do-able.
