It appears that you haven't explored the 3rd world as much as you're able to, judging from some of the questions you ask. All my answers are assuming this, if I'm wrong post again and say what you've done and where've you been in the caves because it's hard to tell.

> Okay got to have a dead stone to get a live one but where?

You need to get a special power first in the caves, then get in a violent mood.


> Still have no money.

There's a shopkeeper in Larosis that you can sell some of your inventory to, you can't get all of the money you'll need yet though.

> Try to go back to where the dragon is and now I cant climb all the way up why?

Where you got the Stone of Strengthening right? Theres nothing more you need up there.

> Got that stupid shack open to find it empty and the point of that was???

It isn't completely empty, but you can't do anything until later.

> Where are all these gems?

In the caves. Explore.

> How do I get to the dragon now?
> where do I get that stupid stone from?

> why do I have a dead fish?
