Wall buttons don't always work for every secret door: Sometimes they need a lever, as they do here. You can find a bunch of levers to open the south door (which you found, since you got in there). The door to the north actually needs to be opened from the cave side: You can't enter the cave from her...

If the Schedule is also Combat, then the creature will take a whack at you as soon as it sees you. Hence you somet...

Funny how there are so many liches in TBG while Serpent Isle only has the one, Aram Dol, and even that one is introduced rather late, in the add-on.

I'm trying out your latest snapshot and it appears you can't use capital letters in savegame names anymore. Was this intended?

Also, the Speed option defaults at 5, but after changing it you can't set it back to 5. It'll scroll through 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, the 5 is gone.
