I made it out of the Dragon cave. :D

One thing I'm curious about:
Spoiler
There was one part where a dragon appeared right behind me and belched out a fireball. The way I got through was to quickly use an Instaman to absorb the fireball, and then throw a bunch of poison clouds and run right up to it and start fighting, hoping that the dragon was a weaker one and it would choose to melee in the rounds it could get in before it died. I did manage to get through this way, but it took a pretty good amount of luck not to mention an item it's perfectly possible to get to the cave without having, so I'm pretty sure I didn't do it the "right" way.
Anyway, I went back to the crypt of the Faeliss clan because I missed it the first time around.
Spoiler
I can't seem to locate the ra key. I've been around and passed several areas, finding ra armor and eventually opening a passage back into the start room, but I didn't find the key anywhere along the way.

About the
Spoiler
dragon that appeared behind you: It's just a nasty trap. You should get a warning once you approach the hole in the ceiling so you can prepare. With Magic Boxes, Ful bombs, Monstainers and Ful Bro Neta, you should be fine - just as you were.
Oh, and your question about the Crypt is now answered, too.

Whew, lots of questions! Here we go:

the master:
Spoiler
You need to pull the lever where the dragon appears behind you. Otherwise, you won't be able to continue.
The Dragon Fang is a good weapon, but it is not necessary to have.
The key is in the room with the Black Flames. You entered a pit and landed in that room before you fought the two dragons with the Keys of B.
Lai:
Spoiler
The Spider Cave is in the Rock Desert. It is rather close to the chasm where you repaired the bridge.
The moonstone is in the grave of Tula Faeliss (the rive).
If you have the grimoire: One or two people should have asked you about it. These people are not in Kurast.

I have just dropped into a cave which I entered with the winged key from the room of flames. There are 2 drgons here. Do I have to kill them to get out and if not how do I get out and what should I grab before I do?

Yes, you must kill the grey dragon to leave. But it's a good idea to concentrate on the normal dragon first since that one is easier to kill.

Lai,
Spoiler
das hab ich jetzt irgendwie nicht verstanden... Du hast im Hint Book die Antwort auf die Frage gelesen und fragst nun, wo die GOR-Rune ist? Oder wie oder wat oder wer... Falls ich das richtig verstanden hab: In den Archiven des Faeliss-Clans gibt es eine versteckte Schriftrolle mit der Gor-Rune.

ja, mein englisch ist wohl auch wirklich ein quell an freude & frohsinn :-)
also deine beschreibung nach habe ich nicht gehandelt, hatte die zu dem zeitpunkt nicht gelesen. ich hab den ghost einfach mit dem spell weggenuked.
nachdem ich die lösung gelesen habe, habe ich mich gefragt, ob das eventuell ein fehler war, und das bekommen der rune an diese vorgehensweise gebunden ist...in dem einen buch hat man ja zwei seiten, seite 6 und 27 glaube und da sah ich ein zusammenhang. die rune werde ich mir dann wohl nochmal holen müssen.
why the fireball spell doesnt work? does he have other runes ?

edit:

would u add maps at this lovely hintbook?

Es ist völlig ok (und sogar absolut notwendig), den Geist einfach umzumetzeln. Das mit dem magischen Ring kannst du auch später noch tun. Mit dem Grimoire hat das allerdings nix zu tun, das ist für etwas anderes gedacht.
The Fireball spell does have other runes, and it must be unlocked first.

Maps are an interesting idea. I will think about it.

Yes, I have it. Supposedly it's quite important, but in good RPG fashion they can wait while I finish up side quests. :D

I've progressed in the crypt. According to the hints, I need to find

Itza and Tula's graves
. I've already found

Itza's, and grabbed his heirloom, but I'm not sure where to find Tula
. It seems like I've visited every location off the central door rooms, so I guess I missed something. I also found a scroll mentioning something about

Prize 99. Or maybe the scroll itself is Prize 99

Sophia:
Spoiler
Prize 99 is a nod to Conflux. The coins is all there is to it, the scroll is unimportant.
To find the second heirloom, head back to the stairway where you came down into this level. Going left led you to the room with "Hit them all" and eventually Itza's grave. Going right from the stairway will lead you to a small room with invisibile teleporters and eventually Tula's grave.

oh, mist. das ist ja gleich doppelte freude ;) wie lästig das für mich ist, dass ich wirklich garkeine orientierung habe. mal sehen ob mir die footprints weiterhelfen. ist das einer der bones im spider-raum? eigentlich nehme ich alle gegenstände in die hand um zu sehen ob sie einen besonderen namen haben.

noch ne frage, die relativ sicher für die anderen auch nicht so sehr von interesse ist...wo ist der tempel of aram? da war ich noch nicht, kann mich auch nicht erinnern, dass mal ingame gelesen zu haben...edit: ok, das hab ich eben geschnallt als ich mir alte screenshoots durchgelesen habe

i also have to know if i could escape form the temple, cause my food running out. i always play and played DM & clones with setup a center where i drop all the things i have. my adventures dont wear heavy armor (and tons of food) in order their portable weight arent yellow- its grey for maximum speed while walking

Just some short hints, will update the hint book later today:

Lai:
Spoiler
Wespen? Bei "Fire"? Da sollten eigentlich keine Wespen sein... Bist du in dem Korridor, in dem zwischen Gruben ein paar Feuerbälle hin und her fliegen? Oder bist du in eine der Gruben reingehüpft? Da unten mögen tatsächlich eine Menge Wespen sein (dort müsste ab und an "Hive" an der Wand stehen). Aus dem Hive kommst du über eine oder mehrere Treppen wieder raus. Der ganze Raum ist aber nur eine Art "Auffangbecken", falls man irgendwo runterfällt. Es geht von dort nirgendwohin weiter.

Das Inner Sanctum geht auf, wenn du die drei RA-Schlüssel gefunden und benutzt hast. Du brauchst keine Fackeln (aber wenn sie irgendwo einfach verschwinden, finde ich das bedenklich...).

Altar of Light, Altar of Darkness: Du brauchst nicht die Schriftrollen (die waren übrigens am Eingang dieses Tempels), aber du musst die Zaubersprüche kennen...

Magic Mushroom: Verdammt, der Raum sollte gar nicht offen sein! :( Na egal... Jedenfalls brauchst du für den Raum eben besagten Pilz. Drück ihn mal einem deiner Helden in die (Waffen-)Hand, dann sollte klar werden, was du hier tun musst.
linflas:
Spoiler
The Skull Door you see can only be openend from the other side. You will reach the other side later. Look for a large switch to the south-east of the Skull Door. It will open up a passage to the ladder that you can see on the screenshot of the Magic Map you posted. You do not need the Rockcutter in the Dragon Cave (and you cannot use it at all in here, in fact).

zu den altaren: beide sprüche kenne ich...mir ist aber nicht klar welche mechanik sich hier verbirgt. ist das vorraussetzung, dass man an den alcove mittig kommt? dann wäre das erklärung warum ich hier überlegte was zu tun ist.
