Simply put, where in the **** (substitute own 4 letter word please) is the forth secret door? There should be no treasure behind it as I've gotten out with 100% of the treasure, but where is it? I've found the 2 in the halls (stone and wood) and the one between the 2 plants. Hints and such appreciated.

I posted this question on rec.games.misc, but I'll ask it here, since this is the correct place for it. Is Skara Brae in U7 the same Skara Brae from Bards Tale I? I'm pretty sure that was the name of the city in BT1. If so, did Origin steal/buy/own the name or is there a Skara Brae in Germany? Jeff L.

In the Boston area phone listing of members of the SCA (Society
for Creative Anachronism) there is a listing for a Lord Hawkwind of Skara
Brae. I hear rumors that he worked/works for Origin :)

Actually, there *is* a real Scara Brae, in either Scotland or Ireland.
(I think Scotland, though...) So I don't see how anyone could have
licensed the name...

About Skara Brae. Back a coupla' centuries (sorry, I really
don't know how many,) there was a settlement on Scotland called
Skara Brae. I know this for a fact. It was in my history book. (For
some strange reason!)

Well, as it turns out, there really IS a Skara Brae, but it's not in Germany - it's on the Northern Coast of Scotland!!! Nat'l Geographic did an article on Scotland a few years back, and had pictures of Skara Brae, which is an abandoned, ruined fishing village which apparently dates back about 2000 years... there are Norse runes on the walls which are guessed to be from Viking invaders some several hundred years after the village was abandoned... If you're interested in further info, I could probably look up the article; I know I saved it, but I'm not sure quite where...
