ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Version 1.0.4, Linux, no add-ons.

1. Ghoulish Leap works even when pinned.

2. After clearing alternative Lake Nur and killing the Weirdling Beast, I inserted the rod. I immediately talked to the butler to exhaust all dialogue choices. He also offered to improve my Cloak of Deception, saying it will take 10 energy. I agreed, even though I haven't transmogrified ANY items prior to that.

Now the quest journal says I have hooked up the chest, but there's no line saying: "Fortress energy: 0" or similar. Also when I transmogrify something, I only get gold. Additionally, my Cloak of Deception works the same - if I don't equip it, halfling patrols are red. Once I do, they become green and friendly.

You should start getting energy after you 'mog 100 gold's worth of items -- the dialogue put you into the negatives which the quest journal doesn't properly show. However you're stuck with the Cloak until that's fixed.
