	I'm stuck.  I cannot find this rock that was stolen from a
caravan passing through.

	I am stuck down on L5 of dungeon too.  I cannot get to part of
the dungeon that I can see.  There is no door into it from where I am
but it is clearly defined on the other side of a think wall.  I have
tried to use Phasing but it jumps me into part of the same room I am
in and not through the wall into the adjacent, unaccessible room.

	Also, on L4 I met and spared (what else could I do :) a creature
named Charbad The Weak.  He gave me a Crimson Robe as proof if I did
not hurt him.  Hmmm... maybe I should give him something?  Don't know.

	If anyone has any clues on this scenario please give me a hand.

	Thank you.

There must be a way around - pull up your automap and scroll the map
(using the arrow keys) - there must be a door or passageway which you
haven't yet explored through.

Good old Gharbad - keep talking to him - eventually something will
happen which will allow you to solve this quest.  (It is a quest, which
you might not already realize - hit "q" to see it listed).  You have to
talk to him 3-4 times.

I don't know if it helps but I encountered a similar problem.
I could see on my map the place of a door on a wall and even see that
door in the game but it was impossible to highligth it during the game
and then I was unable to open it.

Desesperate I went to town whith a town portal and when I came back
this 'Bug' was solved and the door was available.

 etc.

Okay, Gharbad the weak makes items.  Go back to him, he will whine more 
about not killing him.  Keep going back to him, and he will tell you that 
he's making another item.  Eventually he will say that the item is just 
too good to give to you, and he will attack.  Slay him and take the 
item.  The second item he gives you is usually pretty cool.

Whenever you see a section of any level you cannot get into, look for a 
book to read.  It will usually tell you about something (ie.  halls of 
the blind) and then the area will open up.

I found the Magic rock in the first levels of the Catacombs on a table 
(the only table in the entire game!).  You get an emperyan ring from 
Griswold.

  There is a book somwhere on the level.  Read it, and it will give you
access to that room (It's probably something like the Chamber of Bone or
Halls of the Blind, or one of the small quest packages....)
  The rock is on a pedestal somwhere on (usually) level 5.  If it's in
the darkness, tho, it can be very hard to spot....

  Read what he said...  'Come back later' is a big hint...  When you
come back he'll tell you it's not quite done, try again in a little
bit.  After a while, he'll have something else for ya...  :)

Susan,
	Keep going back to ol'Charbad after leaving the level,
eventually he'll give you what he was making (he he he). BTW please
post what he gave you, I did not get a unique item and I would be
interested to see if everybody gets the same thing.

	I can't answer your questions on rock quest and door but I can
answer about the guy Charbad the Weak.  The bastard is his own quest.
If you look at the quest log, it'll have Charbad on it bleating out please
let me live.  The following is a bit of a spoiler so don't read it if you
don't want to.






	Charbad is a treacherous little goat.  Sure he gives you a random
item as proof of his being nice.  The cheap lout gave me a fine leather armor
for my troubles so I guess you lucked out there.  Talk to him again and he
says he'll give you something else too.  Wander about and waste all the monsters
and he'll tell you he's almost finish the gift.  If you find a room with a book
surrounded by many candles, read it.  It tells you of the fall of the three
Dark Brothers by the other four darklords.  I went back to Charbad and he
says "too good for you.  you want you take!" and he proceeds to pop you in
the head with a morning star.  Unless you have great armor, he'll score a
pretty solid hit (unfortunately for me I'm a level 12 rogue and only 2 pts
went to vitality).  I then proceeded to shoot the backstabber with a bow
that knocks him back (Bow of the Bear but there's much better ones out there)
after a gazillion arrows the poor guy crumpled and I found an iron morningstar
of skill on him.  I love it when the rogue says I'm not impressed because
that morningstar isn't that great.  Maybe he has something else that he dropped
during the fray because I didn't zoom in.
:x

Thank you for all the comments.  This thread is closed.  You can read
my conclusions below if you like, especially about the Phase spell.

	I found the rock and got a ring from Griswold that he made stones
for from the rock.

	There was nothing wrong with the dungeon level.  There was no
missing door or incorrect draw of the dungeon.  This is a perfect
example of what the Phase spell can do and how to use it.  It is
random and usually moves you to a different location in the same room
BUT every so often WILL move you through a wall into an adjacent room
that your character may _never_ have been in before.  My first three
Phase spells failed but the fourth moved me into this new room and I
continued exploring and finishing this level and my quest.  This is
where Diablo really shined and became an adventure for a moment at
least toward solving this puzzle.

	Yes, alas, Charbad The Weak was destined to go the way of all
monsters so far in Diablo.  The robe and flail I got were not
uninteresting to my character.

	Next quest is Chamber of Bone!  I just counted and this makes the
5th quest of this Single Player version I am in.  I have not had to
restart the game and seem to be properly equipped to master the
monsters tossed in my path.

I'm not sure about the missing Rock or the inaccessible room,  however,  go
back to the Coward (the life you spared).  I believe he'll have something
else to give,  or do (???) to you.  Happy Hunting

   Be patient, you will find it on another level, if I remeber correctly.

   Go back and talk to Charbad. Also, make sure you have completed the
whole of level 4. I noticed that lower levels may not let you in until you
complete the above level. The is also a direct stairway from level 5 to the
town.

It is not necessary to complete the whole level... Just go walk around a
bit and then come back. Get item. Walk around more and talk to him
again. He will either attack or tell you to wait a little longer. If the
latter occurs, repeat. I only had to walk about 2 screens away and come
back...

I'll go you one better.  :)  All you have to do is leave the room our
Glowing Goat Boy is standing in.  Just head out the door, and go back in.

Good hunting,
