In the hive, you can take a cobble stone out of the head of a zombie\The Post. Can you use that later in the game? or what. I have played through the game a coupple of times, with the stone constantly in my inventory, but I haven't been able to use\give it to anyone. What is it?
nope, no use, but you do get a load of exp. when you pull it out of the post's head.
Here where the flattering and mendacious swarm
Of lying epitaths their secrets keep,
At last incapable of further harm
The lewd forefathers of the village sleep.
Yeah that's true! It's actually quite weird, you get xp from removing a stone from a zombie's head, you don't even have to have a special amount of wisdom\intelligence.
I think the reason you get XP for removing the cobblestone from the corpse's head is because by doing that, you're "helping" the mistreated corpse. I know it's just a game, but mutilating corpses is not a nice thing to do. The game tries to teach you that lesson early on, and if you catch on, it rewards you for it.
It's too bad you can only pull a rock out of its head instead of something valuable like coins.
True. If nothing else, that opening dungeon teaches you the virtues of remaining perceptive.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
