I don't remember townstones in Legends of Aranna. As I recall, the stones were part of the story line of the Utraen Pennisula multi player campaign, as well as the major questline in the single player adaptation Legends of Utrae.
Fortress Kroth - I remember encountering Sikra the mage who is being imprisoned in the Hall of Skulls, just outside and below the fortress and she has a lore book with information about the Dragon of Rathe. Not sure who Kikra is, apparently another imprisoned mage? Is she the lady from the Mage's Guild alchemist shop in Arhok? I thought her name was Kira something.
I never liked her, btw, her voice and face got on my nerves. I get cranky about some odd stuff. If I recall correctly, that one voice actress did about all of the voice acting in the game.
I wish my multiplayer was working, I would like to refresh my memory about Fortress Kroth and the surrounding area. I remember wandering around and finding a cave with a drake in it (in the stretch of land before the encounter with Gresh. Also take a look around the Clock Tower in Legends of Aranna and take the displacer back to Arhok; after taking care of the Shadow Jumper, that is.
For me, I almost always read questlines and listen to the NPC's stories and mutterings. After playing a couple MMOs, plus single player also I've learned it can be crucial to completing the quest. Plus it adds to the actual story line to read over the quest text. Of course those annoying "go talk to that person 3 feet from me and report back to me" as well as the "fetch me a shrubbery" quests don't offer much in the way of interesting plot.
Well, I'm glad it isn't just me!
