(When you are on a street press '?' (the question mark) and it will tell you what street you are on, and what the time of day is.) I haven't been able to figure out the gold loss problem, but I managed to finish Bard's Tale I about 2 or 3 months ago anyways... My best advice is to only enter the Adventure's Inn when you are planning on quitting the game. (And when you leave make a copy on your hard drive so you have a backup game with gold if you die. Do this repeatedly if you have space on your hard drive. I ended up having 10 or 11 copies of it on mine!) If you need any more help feel free to drop me some E-mail... -- -Sean Dees.
