The Glowing Mouse


Now, in SotSB, if you read the journal (tavern tales) you notice one mentions seeing a glowing mouse. If you read on in the journal, you can actually read a conversation with said mouse (SPOILER! It's Tyranthraxus). Now, someone once said that was just a "red herring" for those that decided to read the journal entries all the way through. I'm just wondering if it is true or has anyone actually "encountered" said glowing mouse?

Re: The Glowing Mouse


I don't remember any glowing mouse in SECRET. I've only beat SECRET once though, perhaps I might have missed something.

On a side note, not glowing mouse but I have a glowing keyboard made by Saitek. Works great for a few years now. glows in the dark. Neato.

A glowing mouse would be a cool enemy to fight, even in post apocoliptic world like Wasteland or those sequel types fallout etc.

I don't think I ever saw the mouse. And I have played the game at least three or four times.

Re: The Glowing Mouse


A guy callled Simeon Pilgrim collected all the text in the Gold Box games, this was done over at the FRUA forum. This is as not as neatly done as it could be, but it may give you some clues:
Gold Box Games text

(I don't know if this link will work if you are not registered at Reonis.)
I do it with spreadsheets, it is slower but neater.

Another reason to think about this is at the beginning of Pools of Darkness, Tryranthraxus says how he sent "the heroes" after the Dreadlord. I think it was meant to be included moreso in the game but either due to time or programming restraints, was dropped or not included.

IIRC in the Previous games Pool, Curse, the tavern tales were not all true. Some were true, while others were just tall tales meant to trick you up. Or I wonder if the storyline for Secret was based off a book like Curse was? I don't remember there being one and I can't seem to find it searching google. I really enjoyed Azure Bonds. I still have it in my bookcase.

I don't think Secret ever got a book, the only one in the series not to have one! Yeah, I know some are fake. Still, it's always nice to wonder "what if"?

I know of no book either.

Many Tavern Tales are false. SSI Cluebooks tell you which are true and which are not.
