Kinda stuck
Hi all, I'm still here!
Anyhow, with regards to PoD, I'm kinda stuck. I don't really understand where I can go to train, sell, ect. I have cleared the cave with Vala and saved the ol clerk from the blue dragon and his cohorts. I'll read some of the clue book =)

Re: Kinda stuck
wow. it's been ages since I've played PoD. Seem to recall there was a place where the old wizard was teleporting us to and from. Limbo. and you couldn't bring weapons or armor from one dimension to the other so things got put into storage. I think there was a training hall in one of the cities/or small villages on the southern side of the Moonsea.

Re: Kinda stuck
Yah the book says you can do all that in Limbo, but I can't figure out how to get back there :/

Re: Kinda stuck
You've probably long since figured this out, but just in case anyone else is having a similar problem . . .
You can train in Phlan at the very beginning of the game (esp. useful for parties transferred from Secret of the Silver Blades), and there is also a magic shop there (the only really useful store in town). After that, Taydome's Keep is supposed to have a training hall (per the clue book), but it may be abandoned (per "Let's Play Pools of Darkness" on YouTube). Your best bet early in the game if you need to train & get items identified is to go to the Hill Giant's Steading. You don't have to clear a lot of it initially -- just one of the mercenary barracks rooms, to give you a place to rest (I like the one just W of the store). The shopkeeper may try to steal some of your money if you don't do anything in his store, so ID at least 1 thing each time you go there (you probably won't need to buy any of the store's nonmagical junk). The training hall is a little ways due N of the store; go through the narrow room just W of the lane between the outer and inner courtyards to get there (assuming you don't want to trigger the set encounter in the inner courtyard yet). Make repeat trips from the Realms back to the Hill Giant Steading each time you need to train, until you're ready to clear the Steading. You'll reach Limbo again just before entering Thorne's Cave, and you'll find another magic shop (as well as a store with +1 magic armor/weapons/ammo) at Zhentil Keep. Hope this helps others attempting POD!
