you also get stuck when you interact with the teleporter before you are able to, if you manage to get to it before Feronius and the kobolds spawn in during the second quest.
Also the first exploit I mentioned above lets you fight Feronius at level 1(with Feronius also being at level 1). If you sell the Worn Dagger, you have enough to get everything in the Brakkil Village shop. With a Warrior, this makes the fight easier.
also, I think the saves also mess with the quest. If use the second exploit with feronius, I think some weird stuff happens. I think it might make Feronius disappear? I haven't checked.
Also, did I explain everything good enough?
