You could almost be coming down from Perrinn. Which is fine, if you don't mind a slightly longer journey. I know there is at least one person who did more or less a whole game out of Kaliti (that would be commie_bat), but I haven't tried it.

Paralysis just kinda happens, and can even happen in your first battle on level 10. Then you're stuck with the bill, but you don't have any Items of Extra-Specialness to sell.

You talk about Teralt being close to Perinn if you know how to get there. Is there a hint on how to get there and what level it is on.
