Losing the Book of the Dead?!?

I finally made it my first time to the correct Wizard's Tower and pulled out my handy Wand of Death. I dug a small hole in the walls around him and aimed...

I missed Rodney with my first shot, and he teleported next to me (on the moat surrounding the walls). I then hit him with the second shot! My celebrations were short lived though as the Book of the Dead dropped in to the water and I got the message along the lines of "The Book heats up! Steam rises from the Book!". Problem is, I can't for the life of me find the book. It appears to have dropped in to the moat and disappeared!

I have tried freezing the moat and digging down in a pit, using a grappling hook from the shore, water walking boots, fire to evaporate the water, everything I can think of to try to get the book back. PLEASE tell me if I can get it! Alternatively, if I am barking up the wrong tree, please let me know what happened to it (TP'ed off with Rodney? When does he come back?) I do NOT want to have to abandon the first game where I have made it to the Bell and Candelabrum, only to be symied by an... "undocumented feature"! --Kalon 03:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

This happened in my game and I was able to freeze the moat where he was last standing, and recover the book. It appeared on the square once the moat was frozen. Maybe try magical breathing if there's any water sqaures left to search... and it might be worthwhile to quaff a potion of object detection if you have one, I get the impression that book is pretty durable.

Unique items can't be destroyed, so it must be somewhere. Keep looking! :) Fredil Yupigo 21:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
