Devil Mushroom

• first appears in 0.56c alpha as Mis_DevilMushroom

Drug Monopoly

• first appears in 1.01d alpha as Mis_1_Psi_DrugMonopol
• Salm, one of our brothers got together with some poor souls from the New Camp and started making drugs. He gets the swamp weed and everything else they need and the others make the drugs. We cannot tolerate others making drugs - only we make drugs! You should meet these guys, pretend to be a new courier and find out where the laboratory is hidden. Brother Salm has decided to leave us, and he won't bother you. Simply tell his buddies that you got Salm out of the way so that you can take over his business; that will seem more credible to them than anything else. Before Salm left, he confided in us that he always met with them at night at the wooden tower not far from the New Camp to exchange the things stolen from the temple. Go there and find out where the lab is.
• I found the laboratory. It is near the New Camp by the Lake with the hut. There is a cave behind some bushes, that's where it is.

• offered by SLD_20 (possibly early prototype of Borik)
• since player can fail both by not hitting the target at all, and by barely hitting it, it suggests that either auto-aiming was supposed to be disabled, or that result was randomized (as opposed to bow shooting in the final game, which is always perfectly auto-aimed)
• we know some of the sentences spoken and their context:
  • WannaShoot: Do you want a go as well? (offer)

• When the player gets close to the hunters, a strange scene takes place: player turns a corner and looks down a long hallway that ends in a large round chamber. After about ten meters a corridor branches off to the left. BAAL-KAGAN suddenly flees from two Minecrawlers with his hands tied behind his back into the very hallway where the player is standing. BAAL-KAGAN rushes down the corridor in a panic, away from the player character, towards the round chamber. The Minecrawlers chase after him.
